Why do they need a mosque there if there is already one 800 yards away? This is a bullshit spit it in the face to everyone who lost someone on 9/11.
Oh, you got any evidence to support your claim that he applauded the death of Bin Laden?
The old mosque is way too small to support the large Muslim community in that area.
What he is wanting to build is a very large community center that will have classrooms and a gymnasium and a swimming pool plus a mosque.
Just Google Imam Rauf talkss about the demise of bin Laden.
And you Will see exactly what his views are on the issue of Osama and wiping out global terrorism.
Imam Rauf wants all American Muslims to assmulate into American society and culture .
And he wants the process to speed up so that American Muslims will no longer be treated as second-class citizens.
