(CNSNews.com) – The cleric who wants to build a mosque and Islamic center near Ground Zero claims that ideas from his book were incorporated into President Obama’s landmark Cairo address to the Muslim world last year by one of the drafters of the speech.

Feisal Abdul Rauf made the remarks during two media interviews in Egypt last February.

In the interviews in Egypt, Rauf referred to his 2004 book What's Right with Islam: A New Vision for Muslims and the West (later reprinted as What’s Right with Islam is What’s Right With America). He specifically mentioned chapter six.

White House staffers involved in drafting Obama’s speech, according to media reports, included speechwriter Ben Rhodes, political advisor David Axelrod, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, and Rashad Hussain, a deputy associate counsel later appointed by the president as special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). . . . .

Editor's notes: well, after reading our news clip, it is no wonder Obama supports the New York Mosque . . . . prefers Islam over Israel . . . . names the imam as official US emissary to the Middle East . . . . pays for his trip overseas . . . . . has allocated 6 million dollars to build and repair Mosques the world over (see the story here) . . . . . has given 1.3 billion in support to Hamas in Gaza . . . . recently condemned Israel in a UN resolution . . . . and has named Israel as an "occupier" of Palestinian lands.

Is Obama a Muslim? Probably not BUT he sure as blazes acts like one more often that he should. One thing for certain -- it is perfectly understandable as to why 24% of this country thinks he is Muslim (NY Times poll).

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Midknight Review -- new and revised

Obama used Muslim notes to prepare Cairo speech - but of course he is not a Muslim.
