Islamic group to build mosque adjacent to ground zero

[PanzerJaeger]

Bonus question: Where were you hyperventilating alarmists when they built the Islamic prayer room in the other 9/11 target, the Pentagon?

I wonder if the Hassan incident has caused any critical reassessment of this. We've seen what happens when the military bends over to placate the Muslims. Real Americans get shot to death.

Here's the economist's analysis:

Build that mosque: The campaign against the proposed Cordoba centre in New York is unjust and dangerous

I don't appreciate the intellectual blackmail in which the authors are engaging. 'Build the Mosque or you'll radicalize your Muslims.' Our judgments on what is appropriate and what is not should not be held hostage to the ever-present threat of crazy Muslims waiting for a reason to radicalize.


Anyway, is there any truth to the accusation that this Imam Rauf refuses to acknowledge Hamas as a terrorist organization?
