Daisy’s Con: Ground Zero Mosque Imam’s Wife Tells Whopper About Me
As a member of Former Muslims United, last September — along with other former Muslims — I drafted a letter which was distributed to more than 100 Muslim clergy nationwide, including Imam Rauf and his wife Daisy. We asked them to sign the The Freedom Pledge, a declaration that calls for support for religious freedom and safety from harm for former Muslims. (Sharia requires a death penalty for anyone who leaves Islam.) We asked Muslims — those who call themselves “moderates” — to “repudiate the threat from authoritative Sharia to the religious freedom and safety of former Muslims.”
Almost a year has passed, and neither Daisy nor Imam Rauf have responded to the letter and its call for tolerance of Muslim “apostates.” It seems that “reaching out” in brotherly love and acceptance is a one-way street for Daisy — when she isn’t fabricating those gestures.
As for her claim of“1400 years of evolution of a faith”: Islam is in dire need of an enlightenment to transport its doctrines from the middle-ages to modernity. Muslims regard the Koran as the immutable word of Allah. Therefore, jihad to spread Islam and submit all other non-Muslims to Sharia is an order established in perpetuity until Islam has completed its divine mandate that all the world submit to Islam and to Allah. Such totalitarianism is incompatible with the democratic principles of western civilization, and is certainly out of sync with ideals that promote equality among people of all faiths and cultures.
Reformation to bring Islamic doctrine into a genuinely moderate position is desperately needed. Among the 57 Muslims countries comprising the Organization of the Islamic Conference — none of which are liberal democracies — harsh and appallingly discriminatory sharia law brutalizes hundreds of millions of people all over the world. Women in particular.
Is that the Islamic “evolution” Daisy Khan mentions?
This simple call for transparency where Islamic doctrine is concerned and the call for an enlightenment are the reasons Daisy is motivated to both misrepresent herself, me, and what I stand for. I’m not at all surprised she found it necessary to lie to protect herself and her interests from the scrutiny of inquiring minds at Chautauqua Institution and elsewhere.
Daisy Kahn can continue to evade the truth, but it confronts her at every turn and belies every false claim she makes at such events. The facts remain, untarnished by misrepresentations and lies.
No other religion that I am familiar with dictates that others must abide by a brutal system of governing the masses, controlling entire populations under the strict and humiliating sharia. The crimes committed by jihadists before my eyes, and all around me as I was growing up, are thoroughly justified by the Koran, and examples of just how to carry out such brutality are provided in the Hadith.
These truths are what Daisy Khan tries to conceal from her audiences, why she attempts to discredit me, and why she lies about having invited me to attend her conferences. Muhammad is quoted in a canonical Hadith (the words or deeds of Muhammad, deemed most authentic) as saying: “War is deceit.” Daisy has mastered the practice quite well.
” …there are millions and billions of Muslims that are good, honorable people.”
” … but you cannot remove 1400 years of evolution of a faith and just call it a bad religion.”
Oh yeah, it’s actually the MacDonalds of religion! I would like to see Ayaan Hirsi Ali debate this woman on the so-called “evolution” of Islam.

That’s an insult to McDonalds
“1400 years of evolution of a faith”
Did not Mahomet order that not a jot could be changed? Do Muslims now believe in evolution?
Ha!
Al wala w’al bara – yeah, NO reformation is allowed – the qur’an is the immutable word of allah and the created cannot create something greater than the creator. Hence nothing changes in the ancient desert cult of death nor can it be changed.
My daughter was `11 also. She became involved with what she thought were 11 year old girls in Sudan that were taken into slavery.. She traveled to Washington to see our Senator and did some fund raisiing to help the cause. She is a big girl now and engaged to marry. ( a Jewish young man) So now i burst her bubble. slavery as she knew it was cleaning her room, doing dishes, chores and even hot difficult yardwork and gardening.
Slavery is using boys and girls for sex. I am telling her that Muslims use juveniles as pets for sexual favors. This gang rape is especially big as an issue if we have women as American soldiers that become war prisoners.
no surprises here. keep up the effort Wafa Sultan.
islam should really be called the religion of the conquered peoples.
unless you are the descendant of a handful of tribes on the Arabian Peninsula then you are a muslim because your ancestors were conquered and preferred to be muslim so as not to be killed.
sounds like a nice start.NOT
And apparently convicted criminals… Islam is the religion of choice in prisons.
In the animal world, ‘protective coloring’ is a survival trait. I would consider it to be acceptible lying [taqiyya and kithman] which is inherent in Islam. However, I would be praying to Jesus the entire time, not to the moon god. I wouldn’t sacrifice my life just to defy a bunch of thugs who actually believe that c**p.
Thank you for your courage and for your fight to defend Freedom.
God, Who Is Infinite Love, blesses you.
Wafa Sultan.
I just want to let you know how much I admire you.
The first time I saw you speak was on Al-Jazeera, as an Arabic speaker, I never laughed so hard in my life, never did I hear such a valid criticism of Islam in Arabic. You were fantastic, terrific.
Khan & hubby, and their band of Islamic followers, wouldn’t know the truth if it smacked them upside their heads. They are so used to PURPOSEFULLY lying through taquiya-an Islamic mandate, all for the benefit of the Umah-that they are mentally far removed from truth telling.
It is akin to witnessing little kids, who habitually tell fibs to avoid trouble, but have the nerve to become irate when no one believes their tall tales. Such is the story with Daisy….
Aside from the fact that Khan has many more reasons to lie than Sultan,her main goal is to place any of the mosque’s detractors on the defensive. Thus,by calling out a prominent, educated anti-Sharia opponent, tarring and feathering her as a traumatized loony tune, she hopes to deflect the discourse from her and her husband’s radical associations, taking the focus off of their anti-American activities.
Daisy dear, NO one is fooled by your end game – the implantation of Sharia via the mega millions which will pour into the mosque, attracting radicals from world over, ‘inspiring’ them to soldier on to fight the Big Satan, as they view this monstrous mosque as a ‘sign’ of their supremacy from Allah.
Dream on…..
“1400 years of evolution of a faith”.LOL, that’s rich, islam has been at a complete standstill ever since it’s inception.
“As for her claim of“1400 years of evolution of a faith”: Islam is in dire need of an enlightenment to transport its doctrines from the middle-ages to modernity. Muslims regard the Koran as the immutable word of Allah.”
Not to criticize the rest of the article, but this is an interesting statement. No true religion (and I will note that at most one of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism/Buddahism, or Atheism is true, since they are mutually exclusive) can change its fundamental doctrines “to modernity.” God says what he says, His reality is what it is, humanity is what it is. We either deal with it as it is or leave it alone.
Those people who truly follow and believe a religion know that it cannot be “modernized,” any more than the true laws of physics can be “modernized.” New aspects can be discovered, new conclusions can be drawn from what is known, but the scriptures say what they say: you either accept them as valid or not.
The great reformer of the Christian Church, Dr. Martin Luther, wanted to bring the Roman Catholic Church back to the teachings and practices of Jesus and the early church fathers, discarding what he saw as needless and even harmful. Ironically, after a fashion, the Wahhabi fundamentalists and other “muslimists” seek to do the same: restore what they see as the true and original faith.
In either case, the response to those who wish to introduce “modern” (they’re not, really) reforms to the faith is the same: that’s not what the scripture, the Word of God/words of Allah say to do. In both cases again, and again ironically, those who wish to be “moderate” or “modern” must be either ignorant of the true basics of the faith or go against it.
I think it’s rather obvious that people, institutions and systems in those lands where Christianity is practiced on a large scale have certainly evolved beyond those where the Koran holds sway. How would you explain it if not as an evolutionary process in one instance and an absolute refusal to modernize anthing other than weaponry, on the other?
Christianity is based on the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies which include modern prophecy and Spirit-led speech, i.e. speaking in tongues. There is no last prophet in Christianity, so it is ALWAYS changing, moving ever to a more loving life. That is the Way, the Christian practice, in its rawest, purest form.
It’s not a fundamental doctrine but the New Testament it says for slaves to obey their masters and serve them as if serving Christ.
We abolished slavery in America.
That’s an example of modernizing.
Ms. Sultan, I have had the pleasure of listening to you speak and the honor of having you inscribe your book, A God Who Hates, to me personally.
I can only hope that anyone who has not read your book will do so immediately. It is one of the most important books written on the subject and took a great deal of personal courage to write.
It is wonderful to find your work at PJM and I hope you will continue to publish here.
Kudos once again to Roger L. Simon for providing a forum for Ms. Sultan.
PJM is getting better every day.
Excellent article. Thank you, Wafa, for continuing to speak the truth in the face of great danger. I hope to have the honour and pleasure of meeting and speaking with you again someday.
I highly recommend Wafa Sultan’s book to anyone who has not yet read it.
Thank you, Wafa Sultan. Do not be deterred. We know that what the unlovely Daisy describes as some isolated trauma is the rule of thumb. We know that you had the strength to see it for what it is, and to decide that your life and those of countless millions others had far more worth than Islam could ever assign to them. We know too that your service is an act of sacrifice and love, and shows much more courage than most of us raised in ‘free’ societies have shown in our lives. Like those raised in the Communist regimes, you had to face the darker truths; you emerged a kind of prophetess, the ultimate sort of threat to the agents of Islam like Daisy Khan. May G-d keep you safe and well.
“No other religion that I am familiar with dictates that others must abide by a brutal system of governing the masses, controlling entire populations under the strict and humiliating sharia”
I don’t think Islam should be considered a religion in the United States. It certainly doesn’t pass the smell test. And good mayor Bloomberg’s tears for the Mosque are a joke. Set Plaxico free…all he did was shoot himself.
Wealth and power really does distort reason.
“You have the right to believe in stones brother, but not the right to throw them at me.”
This is a quote of yours that I heard you say on Al Jazeera/YouTube. It stuck with me, because it was such a perfect expression of the distinction between true tolerance, where people are free to believe as they please but must adhere to an objective code of conduct, and modern “tolerance”, which is designed to permit the triumph of evil by destroying all standards, thus removing mens’ ability to distinguish between freedom and tyranny.
As for how many Imams responded to that freedom pledge:
Nationally, we sent 111 letters to Muslim leaders representing 50 groups. We received only two responses: one from Dr. M. Zhudi Jasser of the American Forum for Islam and Democracy and another from Dr. Ali Ayami of the Washington-based, Center for Human Rights and Democracy in Saudi Arabia.

Daisy Khan can’t even articulate Wafa Sultan’s full name but she knows she invited her to an interview! How dumb does she take people to be?
The practice of taqiyyah needs to be made more widely known. Every statement made by CAIR officials and by Muslim spokespeople on the Ground Zero Mosque (and probably as a general principle) should be considered false, unless and until it is proven otherwise. These are not “nice” people.
Thank you, Wafa Sultan, for your courageous intelligence and for speaking out.
To everyone: here’s the interview of Wafa Sultan at Dutch television(eenvandaag):

the majority of people living in the Netherlands understand English this is why a lot of news stations do not translate from English to Dutch.
Daisy Khan, and the legions of deformed souls who have been correctly labelled by Orianna Fallaci, as “Sons of Allah”, continue to get away with what they have gotten away with, because they are held to a lower standard by the politically correct. For, you can be sure that when a Christian shines the spotlight on the playing fast and loose with the truth, by the Sons of Allah, that Christian is held to a higher standard than the Sons of Allah.
Frankly some would say it is bad form, but why not shine the light on Mohammed being demon possessed? Joel Robertson in “The Muslim Antichrist”, went to considerable lengths to make sure his manuscript met the highest critical standard that can be applied to manuscripts.
I am no longer content to pointing out the flaws in the Sons of Allah, it is later than when we should have started to rid the earth of this blight. For,
that does not only mean military action.
Thank you Dr. Sultan for your excellent rebuttal to this first lady of obfuscation. Keep up the good work!
Dr. Sultan, after 9/11 I like many others began a self education program to find out about Islam. I have aquired a sizeable reference library including your “A God Who Hates” plus stacks of print-outs of articles from the various Islam related websites that have emerged since that awful day. Now that I have become reasonably conversant with the subject I find myself becoming angry and frustrated that so many influential people in government and the media are so completely clueless about what we face from these cunning deceivers. My guess is that no more than 5% of Americans have any grasp of the concept of taqiyya. Thanks to my self study I am proud to say that I do, and was able to see right through Daisy Kahn the moment she appeared on the scene.
I am so glad that you did not let this insult to you pass without challenge. In the end it will be brave people like you who save western civilization from a return to the dark ages.
[Latin: insignificant; minute, frivolous]
Something or some act which is ‘de minimis’ is one which does not rise to a level of sufficient importance to be dealt with judicially.
Daisy’s a thorn in the side of honesty and integrity. But her rantings in your case are unactionable. It’s like suing a mentally deficient monkey. The elements of defamation and libel with regard to Daisy haven’t been met.
You’re brilliant. She’s a religious bigot and probable terrorist; at least has the tendencies. Oops. I just libeled her.
Regardless, Wafa, enjoyed your article. Rach
Rachel I think I love you.
Finally, the American people and the free people through out the free world, are starting to speak up and stand up to the Muslim movement to dominate the world. We can only hope that the Elite Political Class will begin to understand this threat.They don’t appear to understand. You would wonder what they are thinking in Washington and New York City.
We all will need to stand together and make every effort to resist this Terrorist evil. Funded by Middle East countries like Saudi Araba and Syria.
When is someone going to ask New York Mayor Bloomberg if there are any Jewish Temples or Catholic Church in Saudi Arabia.
There are already a lot of mosques in Manhattan, already an Islamic center.
Muslims would have to travel quite a distance from where most live to come to an area of Manhattan that is primarily a commercial & financial center.
Bin Laden has made it clear that financial ruination of the west is as important an aspect of jihad as slaughtering the infidel. Rauf’s Victory Mosque rising above the ruins of Ground Zero would be a monumental symbol of Muslim supremacy and accomplishment.
Daisy Khan seems to move easily in NYC circles, serving as the front person for her husband’s agenda.
NY “progressives” are so easily duped.
The so called “progressives” and proponents of interfaith dialogue in the media, in academia, and in our government cannot accept that in Islam’s supremacist ideology, there is no moral relativism. They cannot accept that when it comes to Islam, multiculturalism is a one-way street that serves Islam — and the interests of Islam alone. There is no inclusion of other “ways,” or cultures supported in the Quran. Even to allow or accommodate other viewpoints can cost a Muslim his or her life.
The whole business of religion needs to be thrown into the trash bin of history. It’s just another way for the elite to divide people and maintain their power. But people are too easily programmed and emotionally manipulated to see through the racket.
Hey Daisy,
Nobody believes you for a second. We know what you and your spouse are all about and what you predators are planning. You may win a few battles here and there but you will not win the war. WE WILL PREVAIL because we are armed with the truth and know exactly what we face. Your bedeviled Quran, Hadith and other “sacred” writings are rife with the stench of pure evil and will NEVER replace the well fought laws and rights of our precious Country, the United States of America.
Dr. Sultan has earned more integrity and sincerity than have you. God bless her and God bless America!
It’s the Roach Motel religion: You can check in, but you can’t check out.
Alright, that was an ad hominem attack. Please withdraw my comment. Thank you.
Marylou: That was a great and appropriate remark. Don’t apologize for it. I wished I’d thought of it.
Good work Daisy! I ordered Wafa Sultan’s “A God Who Hates” from Amazon last night. I look forward to it confirming all my prejudices about the RoP.
”you cannot remove 1400 years of evolution of a faith and just call it a bad religion” Ok, how about we call it a bad political ideology that uses religion as it’s justifcation?
It is time for Pajamas Media to mediate a debate between Wafa Sultan and Daisy Khan. Bill & Andrew can write the questions and Bill can be the moderator.
This is a fine article, and reveals just how much Daisy Khan and her husband Imam Rauf are consummate liars, and to what lengths they will go to slander and defame Sultan and anyone else who questions the “benevolence” of Islam. All in an exercise of very slick taqiya. Sultan is right to expose it.
My only point of disagreement with Sultan is with her assertion that “Reformation to bring Islamic doctrine into a genuinely moderate position is desperately needed.” I do not think Islam can be “reformed” without gutting it of all its belligerent commands and imperatives. If Islam were subjected to such a reformation, nothing would be left of it that could be called “Islam.” What would be left is a pacific creed much like the Quaker or Amish. It could no longer be called “Islam.” Reformation of Islam would rob it of its essential and self-proclaimed identity, which is a creed that will turn righteously violent and homicidal if the people it attacks and intend to subjugate do not “submit” to it.
Islam does not require agreement with its tenets, only mindless submission to it. If it admitted disagreement, then “reform” might be possible. But it forbids disagreement. There are no redeeming elements in Islam whatsoever. It is a moral code for manqués, or for men and women who are not quite human, for people who willingly surrender their minds and their identities to mysticism.
By the way, I left this comment on a Washington Post article on Feisal Rauf’s State Department-sponsored junket to the Mideast. The State Department claims Rauf is merely on an “outreach” trip and will not be allowed to raise money to build the Ground Zero mosque.
I left this comment on a Washington Post article about Imam Rauf and the GZ mosque:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/11/AR2010081106254.html?wpisrc=nl_headline
My comments follow here:
What a crock! P.J. Crowley is either lying or is the “dumbest” dhimmi in the State Department. “Rauf will not be allowed to raise funds for the proposed center during the trip, Crowley said.”
Really? Has State attached a mike to Rauf’s person that will record all his “outreaching” talks with the honchos in the Umma? He isn’t “allowed” to raise money for the mosque? What’s to stop him? How is State going to prove that money that suddenly appears to finance the GZ mosque wasn’t a result of his trip?
Oh, I’m sure Rauf will report “what it’s like to be a practicing Muslim in the United States.” Rauf will report that it’s a piece of cake, the Islamists who wish to replace our Constitution with Sharia law will have no problem, because the kaffirs and infidels here — a.k.a. left/liberal politicians, including Obama — wish to transform the country into a land of serfs and dhimmis, as well.
So, the State Department sent Rauf on another dubious “outreach” junket, at taxpayer expense, yet. Did Americans give State leave to send an enemy of this country on such a trip? No. State despises Americans as much as Rauf does. As much as We’re-Not-So-Exceptional Obama.
Bulletin, Mr. Crowley: Imam Rauf does not represent Americans. He does not represent me. Rauf has terrorist ties you won’t acknowledge. He’s a liar and a front man for the stealth jihad. This has been so well documented by Robert Spencer, Steve Emerson, Wafa Sultan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Pam Geller, Phyllis Chessler, and other authorities on Islam and on Rauf himself.
But leave it to the State Department to never let facts stand in the way of a policy of “submission” to our enemies. Yes, we are at war with Islam, Robert Gibbs to the contrary notwithstanding. No idea “corrupted” Islam. Islam is a system of corruption. But is that concept over the heads of our treasonous State Department?
…a.k.a. left/liberal politicians, including Obama — wish to transform the country into a land of serfs and dhimmis, as well.
Just this morning I was reflecting on the similarities between becoming a tax paying dhimmi under Islam and what the Obama administration wants for me.
Islam is a cult and should be treated like a dangerous cult.
i agree, i put them in the same catagory as the christians and the jews for that matter, these cults are always competing to force their irrational cultist beliefs on the rest of the rational free thinking citizens of this great country; however, historically speaking persecution of these cults has only made them more ferocious. it is a difficult matter.
America………wake up!
Islam is not a religion and it will consume any type of government and ideology.

I saw Daisy Khan on either Hannity’s or O’Reilly’s program. I’ve got to hand it to her in one area. She is capable of yammering on, without stopping for breath, for the entire segment without stopping to listen to the other guests’ viewpoints. It was obvious that she didn’t want the viewers to hear dissenting viewpoints. Typical.
Isn’t this last Daisy deception a classic case of Taqiyya? With your background, please give us your interpretation of this slippery Muslim concept of Taqiyya/Kitman, and how it is applied, so that we may spot it when it pops up? I don’t think we Americans are equipped to be adept at this word-manipulation which apparently enable the practitioner to effectively turn any event upside down without the least qualms. It’s superbly artful spinning.
….thanks in advance….
Be vigilant. Do not believe what they say. Rather, see what they do. Insist on facts. I had employees also very adept at this art of deception. (A small band of people actually succeeded in pushing me out of my workplace of 18 years.) I’m sure they would have passed lie detector tests. One swore “on the head” of her children. (Bizarre.)
You may also want to check the history of Islamic antisemitism as Muslims have thousands of years of deep resentment against the Jews for not accepting Mohammed. For that, they accuse Jews (and Christians) of distorting the scriptures, even blames the Jews for arousing strife against the early caliph, the third one. Even today, their tendency for blaming everyone except themselves continues. Wafaa Sultan, as rational and independent thinker as she is, quoted as saying” Up to the very first day that I immigrated to America, I used to believe that Jewish people were not human creatures, that they had different features, different voices than the human race. Unfortunately, this is the way I was raised.” (This is a real straight quote that appears in the introductory section of “The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism”, edited by Andrew. G. Bostom.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Wafa Sultan in person when I attended one of her lectures, as well as reading her book, “A God Who Hates.” She is clear thinking, rational and speaks directly from the heart, without mincing any words. It would be a sharp contrast to have her and Daisy Khan side by side. Khan slithery, slimy veneer will fall off.
I thank God every day for Wafa Sultan and many people like her who are now fighting the real war to preserve our cherished values.
Wafa Sultan and Oriana Fallaci have been my heroines.
Long ago, I watched this video, which made an enormous impression on me.
Not to mention how lame Ms. Sultan’s detractors appear.
Brother, you can believe in stones as long as you don’t throw them at me.
Ground Zero Mosque Imam`s wife?? Is this wife #1? #2? #10? #30? Just curious….
A TEST FOR IMAM RAUF OF THE PROPOSED GROUND ZERO MOSQUE:
Let us put Imam Rauf’s “moderation” to the test, shall we? If he is truly a moderate, let him stand before the world in Mecca or Medina or at Ground Zero and openly condemn the atrocities of Sharia and call upon the entire Islamic world to end these abhorrent practices immediately. Let him call upon King Abdullah to end the abhorrent practices of Sharia in Saudi Arabia.
And given the schism between Sunni and Shi’a it would be too much to ask I suppose to have him also call upon the ruling clerics in Iran to also stop the atrocities of Sharia…but as devoted to the Prophet and to Allah as they should be, perhaps they can meet as brothers-in-the-faith and agree upon this. The rest of the civilized world is waiting for the nations of Islam to shed this medieval and barbaric system that maims, tortures, brutalizes and murders men and especially women and children.
The onus is on them to prove that they are indeed moderate and tolerant and willing to be part of a truly civilized world community. If the imam refuses, please help us understand what the definition of “moderate” really means or why we should bother to allow this mosque to be built so close to Ground Zero – where so many Americans and even American Muslims were brutally murdered.
Islamists will destroy America as they destroyed all countries tey are ruling, Islam means submission and despotism. Islam not a religion, it’s a warlike doctrine.
Islam is a real danger on modernity and civilization, don’t be cheated you Americans about that, I have written hundreds of articles in my website about that, and translated dozens of them into English but I think no one wants to lisen to that. Obama’s decision is, symbolically, very insulting and humiliating simply because those people dislike and disdain others and never believe in any kind of human rights. I want you to be careful before the worset thing is coming, wait and see.
great stuff. Do you have a RSS feed? And will it be cool if I put in your feed to a site of mine? I have a blog which pulls content out of RSS feeds through a few sites and I would like to include yours, many people don’t mind because I link back and everything but I like to get consent 1st. Anyway let me know if you could, thanks.
