Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf pretty much says, "If you don't built the Mosque, they will come and kill you."

As long as I added the first portion, I can do whatever the heck I want. All I did was sum up what the guy said. He thinks we deserved the 9/11 attacks.

The imam behind the Ground Zero mosque last night warned that caving in to pressure and moving the project would trigger a massive backlash in the Muslim world, jeopardizing national security.
"If we move from that location, the story will be that the radicals have taken over the discourse," Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said on CNN's Larry King Live.
"The headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack. The danger from the radicals in the Muslim world to our national security, to the national security of our troops . . . will be increasingly compromised if the radicals are strengthened."

So, you think it was okay for a group of terrorists to kill 3,000ish people on 9/11?

He sounds like a completely reasonable, educated and intelligent man.
US policies WERE an accessory to the crime of 9/11. Osama Bin Laden WAS made in the USA.
What's the problem with what he says?

I will go back and fix the statement in my first post. I took out the quotes and added hyphens instead.

Rauf said he intends to go ahead with the "multifaith" center near the site where Islamic terrorists killed nearly 2,800 people because not doing so would unleash fury abroad.
"If we move from that location, the story will be that the radicals have taken over the discourse," Rauf told CNN. "The headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack."There is a certain anger here [in America], no doubt," he said later in the interview. "But if we don't do this right, anger will explode in the Muslim world. If we don't do things correctly, this crisis could become much bigger than the Danish cartoon crisis [over images depicting the Prophet Mohammed], which resulted in attacks on Danish embassies in various parts of the Muslim world. And we have a much bigger footprint in the Muslim world."

I personally believe in the original story, and I think people who think otherwise should be locked in an asylum.
