Those of us who oppose its construction are not against Islam at all. We are against radical Islam. And if you think that Imam Rauf is the gentle ‘bridge-builder’ cleric that even as astute observers as Mayor Bloomberg seem to believe him to be, then I have a cathedral and synagogue in Mecca to sell you. Sure, his book’s English title: What’s Right with Islam Is What’s Right With America sounds benign enough. But the original title when published in Malaysia was more revealing of his mosque’s true symbolism. To the non-English speaking world the book’s title is: A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of America Post-9/11. Any U.S. politician care to explain that one? No? Then how about where he’s getting the $1oo million to finance the project? Still no takers huh?
