Ground Zero mosque imam claims Obama Cairo speech was lifted from the pages of his book

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Oops. Looks like our narcissistic Apologist-in-Chief is also a Plagiarizer-in-Chief:

JERUSALEM - Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the controversial Islamic leader behind the proposed Ground Zero mosque, has claimed President Obama's historic address to Muslim world was "all taken" from Rauf's book.

"If you examine this chapter you will find that the (Obama) speech in Cairo was all taken from this section," Rauf stated in a February recording, which was first posted by Islam critic Walid Shoebat.

Rauf mistakenly referred to Obama as "Bush" but was clearly speaking about Obama's address to the Islamic world from Cairo, Egypt June 4, 2009.

Speaking in a combination of Arabic and English, Rauf was describing chapter six of his 2004 book, "What's Right with Islam: A New Vision for Muslims and the West."

Two thoughts quickly come to mind. One, I'm not surprised that Obama would lift his speech content from a Muslim, because he's a Muslim apologist and loves taking the views of Muslims. Secondly, no surprise about the imam incorrectly blaming Bush; he's simply stuck on following cues from the Obama administration.
