Writing in Malaysia’s The Star Online earlier this year, Ground Zero mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf scolded Christians for provoking Islamists into burning eleven of their churches to the ground:
“Most recently that anger has surfaced in Malaysia, where 60% of the people are Malays. The High Court’s ruling that Allah is not exclusive to Muslims led to the fire bombing of some churches and protests among Malays, who fear Catholics are trying to manipulate the word to win Malay converts. … My message to the Christian community in Malaysia is that using the word Allah to mean the Christian God may be theologically and legally correct, but in the context of Malaysia, it is socially provocative.”
Osama bin Laden took credit for 9/11 and genocide:
“While I was looking at these destroyed towers in Lebanon, it sparked in my mind that the tyrant should be punished with the same and that we should destroy towers in America, so that it tastes what we taste and would be deterred from killing our children and women. … God knows that it had not occurred to our mind to attack the towers, but after our patience ran out and we saw the injustice and inflexibility of the American-Israeli alliance toward our people in Palestine and Lebanon, this came to my mind.” — Osama bin Laden, October 2004
Imam Rauf began blaming America three years before bin Laden:
As early as October 2001, Rauf was citing the Iraq sanctions in discussing what motivated terrorists. In an NBC “Today” interview less than a month after 9/11, he told Katie Couric that Osama bin Laden primarily focused on issues including “the innocent victims in Palestine, the innocent victims, the women and children are being killed as a result of sanctions against Iraq or as a result of American bombing of … Iraq.” Asked by Couric whether he agreed with bin Laden’s “political goals, but not his methods,” Rauf replied that innocent people dying in Iraq was “not necessarily an Islamic issue, it is a human issue — a humanitarian issue.”
Four years later, Imam Rauf was still letting butchers off the hook:
“We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims,” he said during a July 2005 dialogue session in Adelaide, Australia. “You may remember that the U.S.-led sanctions against Iraq led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children.”
That is the kind of Inter-faith dialogue we can expect to hear preached if Imam Rauf builds his Park51 Islamic cultural center and mosque overlooking Ground Zero.
Saddam Hussein let Iraqi children starve and diverted billions from the UN-sanctioned “food for oil” program to buy arms and build mosques. Osama bin Laden and his allies have been slaughtering the innocent for nearly two decades. But it wasn’t their own faults, according to their fellow Islamist, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.
Say what? Proselytizing for Islam from the "

The Ground Zero Mosque is a Shrine to Mohamed Atta and the Muslim Martyrs who flew the planes into the World Trade Center Towers and Pentagon. Placing such a large Mosque there is the same as raising the Islamic Victory Flag, it is an insult to the people of the United States..
