'peaceful' religion says that Muslims are likely to react with 'violence

• against Americans' if the mosque is moved.

9/9, "Imam: Handling of Islamic center (Ground Zero mosque) a matter of national security," CNN

• Imam Rauf spoke on CNN's Larry King live program Wednesday night 9/8 with guest host Soledad O'Brien:

He said "America's national security depends on how it handles the controversy.

"If we move from that location, the story will be the radicals have taken over the discourse,"

• Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf told CNN's Soledad O'Brien on "Larry King Live."

"The headlines in the Muslim world will be

• that Islam is under attack."

The imam, who repeatedly said his mission was to promote peace and build a bridge among faiths, said he was also speaking about

• "radicals" on both sides of the debate on the Islamic center.
  

"Our national security now hinges on how we negotiate this, how we speak about it."

• "The battlefront is between moderates of all sides... and the radicals on all sides," he said.

Moving the project to another location would strengthen Islamist radicals' ability to recruit followers and

• will likely increase
  
• violence against Americans, the imam said."...

• And one wonders: 9/8, "Another interesting byproduct of this situation is once again the disconnect between the

(Our tax money has paid for several expensive 'outreach' trips for this Imam between the US and mid east points going back to the Bush administration. We've also paid for at least one of his wife's trips (6th parag. in linked article) and those of a bunch of other people, per Crowley. Assuming his job was to 'get them to like us,' he obviously failed after years of 'trying.'

• Rauf may not be capable of such a job as he seems to have a reality problem, equating mere discourse by Americans with violence (and death) by Muslims.) ed.
