If Imam Rauf was so worried about people being offended then he wouldn’t be building a giant victory mosque next to Ground Zero…. (USA Today) - Just when we thought the Bill O’Reilly- View dust-up might be dying down comes a statement from Feisal Rauf, imam of the Cordoba House at Park51, site of the proposed mosque two blocks away from Ground Zero in New York. “Bill O’Reilly’s remarks about Islam on The View were not helpful to the cause of mutual trust and understanding and only served to further fuel an irrational fear of Islam,” says Rauf. “We all have a right to express our opinions. But we also have a responsibility to do so in a civil and respectful fashion.” He adds, “If future generations are to live in a safe and peaceful world, we must break the cycle of misunderstanding and mistrust that encourages extremism here and around the world. Mr. O’Reilly’s uninformed comments were offensive, not only to his interviewers, but also to millions of American Muslims.”
