But dont worry, hes an interfaith healer, not a divider . . . or something.
While all eyes are on lower Manhattan, nearly 200 people gathered more than 100 blocks north of Ground Zero on Friday night to honor 9/11 families and to recognize a decade of interfaith work at the Interchurch Center.
Tonight we want to commemorate the event and we are going to honor 10 families who lost victims on 9/11. Five are Muslim, five are not Muslim, to show that we share the pain, we share the hope, we share the prayer, said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.
He hosted the event, In Good Faith: Stories of Hope and Resilience, along with the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA) and the Interchurch Center.
Rauf, the founder of the Cordoba Initiative, an organization dedicated to improving understanding among people of all cultures and faiths, fell under intense scrutiny when plans to build an Islamic community center adjacent to Ground Zero were unveiled.

That would be like putting up a Shinto Shrine at Pearl Harbor.
Both Islam and Sharia need to be outlawed as they are both treasonous and seditious. It is a outright affront to our constitution is is actively seeking to supplant and replace our constitution.
It is just like an cancer, invasive wanting to kill the host, thats you and me!
The founding fathers wanted a continuity to America, not to allow something foreign to move in and replace it while hiding behind “religious” freedoms and rights.
The restaurant someone should open next door to them.

He can say and think what he wants.
It won’t change the facts.
Screw that filthy pig worshiping POS.
Five are Muslim, five are not Muslim, to show that we share the pain, we share the hope, we share the prayer, said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.

That just makes it about muslims. WHY?
That is not sharing- 5 of one and 5 from many.
I am so sick of this crap.
Hey you douchbag Feisal Abdul Rauf, here's a interior picture of the Grand Mosque of Cordoba in Spain......
Oh' I forget to mention it's now a Cathedral
You are not fooling anyone with a brain
OMG! I just used the S-word!
So which of the 10 highjackers are they honoring?
Why don't we allow the Jivaro to practice their "religion"?
They both like chopping heads, the Jivaro are just more artistically inclined after the act.
Why allow one murder cult, and not another?
Somebody told me there was a Japanese shrine of some sort there when I brought up the idea about that several months ago.
Agreed - I wonder about the feasibility of getting a permit for a sidewalk vending stand in front of the mosque and serving only pure pork products.
Just another reason to never set foot in NYC again.
Not to mention another great argument for Upstatehood.
