NEW YORK -- The wife of an imam planning an Islamic community center and mosque near the World Trade Center site said Sunday that she and her husband have received death threats.
"For the record, my life is under threat," Daisy Khan said during a town hall debate on Islam broadcast on ABC's "This Week" news program.
Khan, who's married to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, said her husband's life also is under threat but, "We do not walk around with bodyguards because we love this country."
Chief police spokesman Paul Browne confirmed that Khan had told authorities about the telephone threats she'd received.

Khan said that moderate Muslims like her must lead the fight against extremists in their religion.
"This is what we Muslims want to do, but you have tied our hands," Khan said. "You don't allow us to do this because you brand somebody like me as an extremist and throw me into the arms of Al Qaeda."
Developer Sharif El-Gamal last week released preliminary sketches of the planned Islamic center. He said groundbreaking is probably two to three years away.

Bring it on....
Dear Daisy ... how do YOU LIKE IT??? Someone tells the truth about your Death Cult and you’re people Threaten SOMEONE with death...
After 9/11/01, you have been allowed to stay in this country, to walk around free, you have not been rounded up (IMHO you should have)and put in camps, and you’re still ALIVE.
I don’t see where you have much to complain about.
I call Bulls**t...
Of course it is, Daisy. You're walking around in public without a veil. You could be stoned (*snicker*) any time.
The old "noose in my yard" routine. Seen it before.
Bet his own people are calling them in per his orders ... or is he just saying?
Announce you’re going to build a church or synagogue in Mecca and watch the response by Muslims. It will be more than death threats.
yeah, sure he is. I wondered why I hadn’t heard from their PR team in a while. They must have coordinating the next phase.
That's my bet; although probably nobody needs to call anybody, 'cause everyone understands the playbook is about playing dirty.
I have absolutely no sympathy for these two pieces of crap. None whatsoever.
Don't like it? GTFO of our country.
Gee, now you know how Christians feel in Muslim countries, Daisy.
Gee, now you know how Christians feel in Muslim countries, Daisy.
These people lie like rugs .
If someone buried a pig on that property and it would put an end to this foolishness.
Maybe you should "disappear," like that reporter out in Portland (or wherever).
I don't think she got to have a press conference on national television before she ceased to exist.
You know what? I'm more tolerant than most people, I've always posted about the nice muslims I've known, but I'm so over this sh(t. STFU and get out of Dodge, you cameljockey. You are not, and never will be, welcome.
I do not condone, if true, but they have intentionally agitated a whole city, then cry poor me.
“Gee, now you know how Christians feel in Muslim countries, Daisy.”
Actually, in ANY country if you happen to “insult” mooselimbs.
Yep, it’s a threat...and hardly veiled.
Might as well lance this boil and deal with ooze, IMO.
Islam has been at war with civilization for over 1400 years. We are currently caught up in the latest escalation of that war.
After 9-11 and everything else, she should not be surprised. Now her and her nasty husband are getting a taste of the rage of the citizenry. A Pi$$ed off citizenry that is FED UP with the Muslims pushing and pushing and pushing and these threats are just another excuse to pull something.
