Hey, no fair using my Sith Lord tricks of mischaracterization of argument against me.

I don't think I ever said the Imam was necessarily a bad man. And I'm pretty damn sure I never said he should be excluded from public life.

He is building a mosque at the site of 9/11, and his justification is "I'm a tolerant inter-faith man of the west, trust me". I provided you with 2 examples where that was shown not to be the case, and therefore, his claims should not automatically get the benefit of the doubt.

And as I mentioned during my lunchbox epiphany, he of all people SHOULD have had the idea to make it an inter-faith center, not a conquerers mosque (which could arguably be dedicated to the 19 martyrs at any time, by a planned or unplanned successor).
