Well ain’t this a fine howdie-doo.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is being sued for stealing money from donors and the Malaysian government. Will Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf now accept Sharia law and apply it to himself by having his hands cut off for stealing? Nah.

The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court by several donors, accuses Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf of diverting $167,000 from private donations and $3 million from the Malaysian government for his personal use.

The money was intended for the Cordoba Initiative and the American Society for Muslim Advancement, two non-profits founded by Rauf aimed at educating the public about Islam and combating anti-Islam sentiment, the lawsuit said.

Rauf used the money to pay for vacations, real estate, entertainment, a luxury sports car and other gifts and lavish lifestyle perks for himself and his wife, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit also accused Rauf of falsifying the two groups’ tax returns for several years to conceal fund transfers and sources.

The donors are seeking $25 million in damages

The true Islamist is trained to lie, cheat and steal. What should we expect?

What else can we expect from a Muslim extremist? I hope they throw the book at him.

So, the "peaceful religion" now allows Imam's to steal? Is that like lying for them? He can steal, only if it's the infidel's money?

Perhaps for his grand thievery he can be rewarded as Jon Corzine was and become one of Obama favorite bundlers.

The lapdog lamestream drive by media will likely give it the same level of coverage it gave the Benghazi congressional hearings last week.

That means that no one who gets their news from them will ever know anything about this.

Och, $25 million only? That's peanuts. The Magic Kingdom will happily pay that from their petty cash.

I think anyone who donated gets what they deserved. And if the mosque didn't get built because he swiped the money, so much the better!

I guess if you can kill innocents in the name of Allah you can steal in his name also because as Jesus said the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.

Sounds like the two non-profit organizations were in truth Rauf-profit organizations!!!! I'm curious to see how this plays out.

Pamela Geller was warning the world about this guy's finances and shady deals and years ago. She was attacked and branded an islamophobe and bigot.

Bloomy and the Letterman Cocktail crowd paraded him around like a new puppy.

How long will we let these elitists keep stealing out money and using it to rape America before we rise up and toss them in the Hudson and Potomac like bales of Tea??

Geller spot on, as usual. Nanny Bloomberg and all that supported this jerrk will remain silent. Truth can't get in the way of their agendas.

Interesting hypothesis, NYGino, in fact very interesting. Who didn't get their expected largesse (money,vacation,press, bon mot) when the good imam hordes the cash for his own consumption? Who ratted him out....if this saga disappears, as so frequently happens in the moslem imam mafia msm, we can gather again, to speculate on the sequence of events. This is tripwire stuff...I'm threatening this....if you don't do that....where's the money I want some of the take...nice little house ya got there....I know where your kids go to school....I hope scoop does a follow up.

I'm pretty sure I already know all I want to know about 7th century barbarians. And it didn't require $3MM to do it, either.

All I needed to know about islam I learned on 9/11. islam is a murderous totalitarian theocracy that treats women as chattel. It might be a dandy "religion" for men but it sucks for women.

It's odd (not really), but I've never heard of a "religion" that was NOT based in Biblical principles and the truths of Jesus that wasn't a "Man's religion".

Jesus was revolutionary in many ways, one of them was how He treated women...with respect and held them in high esteem. :)

"All I need...9/11". First time I saw that comment, it was painted across the tailgate of a pickup truck with the towers burning in the background. My thoughts EXACTLY about a political agenda disguised as a religion....

islam is an evil, leftist political movement like communism but hides behind the veil of a false, satanic "religion".
