Imam Abdullah Adhami Replaces Imam Feisal Abdal Rauf as the spokesman for the Ground Zero Mosque

If this announcement is supposed to bring some kind of comfort to Americans who oppose this insulting mosque, let me fill you in, there is no consolation to be found. The above named man has no less curious ties and affilations than his predecessor. One such affiliation led him to volunteer his architectural expertise in the design of the Mjasjid At-Taqwa, a Brooklyn mosque, where Imam Siraj Wahaj is the Imam.
The information so far reveals troubling facts about Siraj Wahaj

NYC: Siraj Wahhaj, unindicted co-conspirator in '93 WTC bombing

.....Siraj Wahhaj, the inflammatory imam, has defended convicted bomb-plotters and called the FBI and CIA the "real terrorists."

US Attorney Mary Jo White even named Wahhaj one of 170 unindicted co-conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the thwarted plan to blow up a slew of buildings.

"In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam," Wahhaj said in one of his sermons.

He also said: "if only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate."

The Islamic Circle of North America has been named in "a list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends" by the Muslim Brotherhood, which is bent on waging "a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."

Wahhaj, imam of Al-Taqwa mosque, is a former member of the Nation of Islam and was the first Muslim to give an invocation at the House of Representatives.

Formal charges were never filed against him by White, although he did serve as a character witness for the defense in the trial of Omar Abdel-Rahman, "the blind sheik" who is now serving a life sentence for his role in plotting the 1993 WTC bombings.

Imam Abdallah Adhami began his study with scholars in Damascus at the tender age of eight, obtaining ijazahs from great scholars of our time such as Shaykh ‘Abd Al-Razzaq Al-Halabi, Shaykh ‘Abd Al-Rahman Al-Shaguri, Shaykh Yusuf ‘Arar, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Al-Yaqoubi, and numerous others. He has lectured widely in the United States, and taught subjects and texts such as Shafi’i fiqh, al-Shama’il: The Sublime Qualities of our Beloved Messenger (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), Manazil Al-Sa’irin, Kitab Al-Sidq, and Maqasid Al-Sawm. His current manuscript, an exploration into the implications of gender-related language in the texts of Shari’ah, was based on a seminar that he taught entitled, “Quranic Eloquence: Toward a Higher Gender Adab”. Shaykh Abdullah had resided in Damascus, Syria, with his wife
and son.

His works center on exploring the legal, ethical and spiritual dimensions of the linguistic implications of shari’ah texts. His works also strive to relate the eternal relevance of the essence of shari’ah laws as a vehicle to enhance modern lived experience. He is the founder and chairman of SAKEENAH.
