International TV celebrity Ground Zero Imam in clover as US elected public servants let Americans twist slowly, slowly in the wind

"Citing Muslim attacks on Danish embassies during the riots in 2006 over Mohamed cartoons (Imam) Rauf went on to say that the result of this current “crisis” could be that
  • “anger will explode in the Muslim world.”
That, he said, could lead to “something which could really become
  • very, very, very dangerous indeed.”

Please bear in mind that CNN beams this stuff out not only across America, but around the globe. While Rauf might proffer that he was merely giving helpful advice, there’s an Islamist audience out there who could hear his well-amplified words – “Islam is under attack” —

  • as a summons to inflict yet more of those explosive onslaughts
  • in which thousands of Americans have already been killed.

As for the message Rauf’s words might impart to the many Americans who oppose his project,

  • his warning doesn’t sound like bridge-building.
  • It sounds like blackmail.

Before Rauf rolled out his Cordoba House project for approval by a Manhattan community board this past May, America’s annual observations of Sept. 11 were a solemn matter, focused on the enormity of the Islamist murder of almost 3,000 Americans. This year, the run-up to Sept. 11 has become an angry showdown, involving Pastor Terry Jones and his widely and rightly condemned on-again off-again plans to burn the Koran,

  • growing frustration on the part of many Americans who feel they are endlessly asked to defer to the sensitivities of Muslims

who respond with ever-growing demands, and at the center of it all, the obdurate and

  • self-promoting Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf."...
