Latest “Ground Zero Mosque” Revelation
There’s still time to sign our petition
Imam terror error
Ground Zero mosque leader hedges on Hamas

www.nypost.com | The imam behind plans to build a controversial Ground Zero
mosque yesterday refused to describe Hamas as a terrorist organization.
According to the State Department's assessment, "Hamas terrorists, especially those
in the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, have conducted many attacks, including large-scale
suicide bombings, against Israeli civilian and military targets."
Asked if he agreed with the State Department's assessment, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf told
WABC radio, "Look, I'm not a politician.
"The issue of terrorism is a very complex question," he told interviewer Aaron Klein.
"There was an attempt in the '90s to have the UN define what terrorism is and say
who was a terrorist. There was no ability to get agreement on that."
Asked again for his opinion on Hamas, an exasperated Rauf wouldn't budge.
"I am a peace builder. I will not allow anybody to put me in a position where I am
seen by any party in the world as an adversary or as an enemy," Rauf said, insisting
that he wants to see peace in Israel between Jews and Arabs.
Rauf also would not answer a question about Egypt's outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
"I have nothing to do with the Muslim Brotherhood. My father was never a member of
the Muslim Brotherhood," he said, disputing a rumor.
Rauf's position has come under a microscope as he leads an effort to build a $100
million mosque and community center at 45 Park Place, near Ground Zero.
Meanwhile, a pastor on Staten Island who signed off on a controversial plan to sell a
former convent to the Muslim American Society has changed his mind.
St. Margaret Mary R.C. Church Pastor Keith Fennessy sent a letter to Archbishop
Timothy Dolan saying that, "after careful reflection," he has withdrawn his support
for the convent sale.
But New York Archdiocese spokesman Joseph Zwilling told the Web site SI Live,
"The contract was signed, and [Fennessy's withdrawal of support] does not cancel that."

Dear Harold,
We know the imam spearheading the mega-mosque at 9/11 “ground zero” supports sharia law.
We know he blames America for Islamic terrorist activity.
Now we have the latest revelation – he just can’t bring himself to acknowledge that Hamas is a
terrorist organization (See New York Post story below).
We have over 56,000 names on our “stop the ground zero mosque” petition – the strongest response by
far to any petition we have launched. If you haven’t yet signed it, there’s still time to do so by clicking here.
With your help we could reach 60,000 names in the next few days. We plan on delivering the petition
to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg next month.
