Obama administration funds Islamic mission trips

As if the Ground Zero mosque wasn’t offensive enough, the U.S. State Department is spending our tax dollars to send Feisal Abdul Rauf (the Ground Zero mosque imam) to proselytize in Saudi Arabia.

“He is a distinguished Muslim cleric,” said State Department Spokesman P.J. Crowley. “We do have a program whereby, through our Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau here at the State Department, we send people from Muslim communities here in this country around the world to help people overseas understand our society and the role of religion within our society.”
[...]
“It is to foster greater understanding and outreach around the world, among… Muslim- majority communities,” said Crowley. “We’ve done this many, many times, with many leading figures… over the past few years.”

Can you imagine the outcry if the U.S. State Department was sending Christian pastors to make the case overseas for “the role of religion in American society?” It’d be particularly egregious if the ministers sent were from the hate-filled Westboro Baptist Church — Rauf’s Wahhabi Islamism is just as extreme.

Apparently, the separation of Church & State only refers to the separation of Christianity & State. Federal sponsorship of Islamic missionaries is just fine with the Obama administration.
