| Daisy Khan claims death threats |
| 2010-10-04 |
| [Arab News] The wife of the imam planning an Islamic community center at Cordoba House said she and her husband have received death threats. Daisy Khan said Sunday that her life and that of her husband, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf were "under threat." Police could not confirm the threats. Khan was part of a wide-ranging discussion of Islam broadcast on ABC's "This Week." She also said that moderate Mohammedans like herself must lead the fight against forces of Evil in their religion, but that if moderate Mohammedans are branded as snuffys, they will be thrown into the arms of Al-Qaeda. The developer of the Islamic center has released preliminary sketches of the 16-story planned structure. Sharif El-Gamal said groundbreaking was probably two to three years away. |

| #6 The final consequence of the 'moderates will join AQ' argument is that these 'moderates' will be imposing their will on us using (the threat of) armed force. It would amount to ending terrorism by surrendering to islamofascism. |

| #4 …but that if moderate Muslims are branded as extremists, they will be thrown into the arms of Al-Qaeda. If this assertion weren’t so often advanced it would be easy to dismiss as trivial embellishment. But the notion that any critique of Islam will drive otherwise “moderate” Muslims to the extreme frequently is the prevailing perception. (Particularly by so-called moderate Muslims themselves.) Assuming this concept is valid the natural question is-why? Perpetual anti-Semitism offends the average Jew but doesn’t motivate them into savage acts of barbarism. The constant negative appraisal of the Catholic religion hasn’t resulted in the Pope advocating for a modern day crusade. When environmentalists are called tree huggers they don’t automatically join ALF. And The Tea Party has been labeled bigots from the get go but they’ haven’t’ said lets throw in the towel and just start some Klan rallies. Perhaps, it’s Muslims themselves that should address the question as to why they are so sensitive to criticism. More importantly, maybe more people should question as to why Muslims should be afforded their unique status. |

| #2 death threats? Islam? The two don't go together? It's not like she drew a cartoon of Mo, is it? |

| #1 This creature has a history of lying (Police could not confirm the threats). Still, to be on the up and up, Ms. Khan and ABC's "This Week" might want to contrast her experience with someone trying to build a cathedral or a synagogue in a muslim country. |
