Ground Zero imam: ‘True’ Muslims implement Shariah

By Aaron Klein


Abdallah Adhami

“True” Muslims who enter the highest levels of Muslim paradise are those who pay the ultimate price of sacrifice for the goal of implementing Shariah Islamic law, declared the imam who has become the new face of the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero in New York City.

In a recent mosque sermon obtained by WND, Imam Abdallah Adhami opens with an Islamic prayer declaring the supremacy of Allah over the universe.

Adhami stated the message of the Quranic figure Muhammad “is the continuity and the culmination of all the messages of all the prophets before him, from Adam to Noah to Abraham and Moses and Jesus and everyone in between.”

“And that message is the supremacy and the total dominion of the lord [Allah] of the world,” he stated.

In his sermon, Adhami discussed Islamic oral tradition regarding “true” Muslims worthy of entering “Jannah,” or the Islamic paradise.

Stated Adhami: “You have to pass all your tests, and the only time that you know you are truthful in implementing the change that Shariah sought for you to implement is when you have paid the ultimate price of sacrifice.”

Later in the lecture, Adhami states Muslims have more of a right than do Jews to the biblical prophet Moses.

“We love Moses more than them. We are more worthy of loyalty to Moses, more than they are. We love him more than they do,” he stated.

This seems to be a theme for Adhami.

Two week ago, WND broke the story that Adhami declared in a separate lecture that Muslims have “more of a right” than Jews to the biblical prophet Moses.

In the same lecture, Adhami urged Muslims to “compete” with other religions.

Meanwhile, others have been scrutinizing Adhami’s background.

Writing at the NewsReal blog writer Joseph Klein revealed Adhami was a guest speaker at the annual convention of the Islamic Association for Palestine in 200o. T he theme of the convention was “All Palestine is Sacred!”

Adhami was reportedly joined at the speakers’ rostrum by Dr. Sami Al-Arian, who pled guilty in 2006 to conspiracy to contribute services to or for the benefit of the Palestine Islamic Jihad.

IAP went defunct in 2005. It was established in 1981 by Hamas political operative Mousa Abu Marzook.

Like the ISNA, the IAP was named in a May 1991 Muslim Brotherhood document — titled “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America” – as one of the Brotherhood’s 29 likeminded “organizations of our friends.”

Also, the Atlas Shrugs website, run by blogger and activist Pamela Geller, found Adhami has expressed appreciation for Islamic cleric Siraj Wahhaj, who was named as a possible co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Adhami has called Wahhaj “Our Beloved Imam” and the “voice of the spirit of Islam in America and its pride.”

Also, Adhami’s website, Sakeenah, hailed Wahhaj for his “devoted leadership to the community” and his role “as a pioneer in the American Muslim experience.”

“Since the 1970s, Imam Siraj has tirelessly laid the foundations for many scholars and leaders that would follow him,” the website stated. “From activism to challenges, to the Nation of Islam to revolutions, follow Imam Siraj as he retraces the footsteps of his life.”
