We Muslims know the Ground Zero mosque is meant to be a deliberate provocation

By Rahee Raza and Tarek Fatah, Citizen Special


Last week, a journalist who writes for the North Country Times, a small newspaper in Southern California, sent us an e-mail titled "Help." He couldn't understand why an Islamic Centre in an area where Adam Gadahn, Osama bin Laden's American spokesman came from, and that was home to three of the 911 terrorists, was looking to expand.

#5  It would be better if they simply renounced Islam or said, 'we will sign up again someday when its fixed'.

If they did that they'd be killed.

#4  Once upon a time (circa 2001-2003), I thought muslims like Rahee Raza and Tarek Fatah were the hope of Islam.

Since then, I've come to realize that such muslims are the theological human shields of Islam. They allow apologists to pretend that Islam isn't what it demonstrably is. They are kind of like the 'blue dog democrats'. It would be better if they simply renounced Islam or said, 'we will sign up again someday when its fixed'.

#1  Raheel Raza and Tarek Fatah, board members of the Muslim Canadian Congress, said:

...we Muslims know the ... mosque is meant to be a deliberate provocation, to thumb our noses at the infidel. The proposal has been made in bad faith, ... as "Fitna," meaning "mischief-making" that is clearly forbidden in the Koran.... As Muslims we are dismayed that our co-religionists have such little consideration for their fellow citizens, and wish to rub salt in their wounds and pretend they are applying a balm to sooth the pain.
