As a published author I did not find mention of the imam's 2004 book. Did I miss it or did they not reference this insightful work about this imam?

Thanks. You just reminded me that I need to order this book so that I can make my own determination of what his message in it is. I could just buy yours, if you want to sell it.

From Will Durst:

 

"Amazing how we, the people, will fight to the death for the Constitution. Until we won't. Love the theory. Hate the details."

 

"It is as wrong as Cabernet Sauvignon in a can. But that's the deal with Democracy. It's not a Chinese menu. You don't get to choose one freedom from column A and another from column B. Liberty is a buffet. With everything available to all."

Kind of misleading don't you think?

 

"Cook reports that Prince Al-Waleed's personal charity, the Kingdom Foundation, donated $305,000 to Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow, a project sponsored by two of Rauf's initiatives, the American Society for Muslim Advancement and the Cordoba Initiative, which is building the Manhattan mosque"

 

How much is that mosque again?

On a smaller scale, maybe. But I'm sure to the Columbine families it wasn't.

The NRA wasn't trying to hold their convention across the street.

Nor is the mosque directly across the street from Ground Zero. It's all relative.
