Imam Faisal Rauf

Imam Faisal Rauf (the head of the mosque that is planned to be built near ground zero) has been very silent. Shouldn't America know that he said that the U.S. policies were "an accessory to the crime that happened" on 9/11; he is a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad Movement, "The trend towards Islamic law and justice begins by religious movements, like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Islamic Resistance," This Imam is now going to be an outreach speaker to the Middle East and he wants to establish an Islamic state as a model in Arabia. Obama backs him, the mayor of NYC is behind him, shielding him and us from the full truth about this guy.
