Ground Zero Imam: There Was No ‘Defensible Opposition to Us’
The “On Faith” page of The Washington Post website is plugging an interview with controversial Ground Zero Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf , a brief chat with a very agreeable Sally Quinn, with a modicum of slightly tougher questioning from her atheist pal Jacques Berlinerblau, a professor at Georgetown. The professor asked if during the mega-mosque controversy he found himself thinking of his opponents, “That was a reasonable criticism, I can agree with that.” The imam firmly denied that: ” There was no logically correct, or critically correct, or defensible opposition to us. The only opposition that they kept repeating was that we were insensitive to the feelings of 9/11 families. So the only thing I would have done differently would have been to have prepared more the 9/11 family members.”
