New audio has surfaced of the imam behind the controversial mosque near Ground Zero allegedly telling an audience overseas that the United States has been far more deadly than al-Qaeda. "We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non Muslims," Feisal Abdul Rauf said at a 2005 lecture sponsored by the University of South Australia. After discussing the U.S.-led sanctions against Iraq under Saddam Hussein, Rauf went on to argue that America is to blame for its testy relationship with Islamic countries.
"What complicates the discussion, intra-Islamically, is the fact that the West has not been cognizant and has not addressed the issues of its own contribution to much injustice in the Arab and Muslim world." The audio was uncovered by blogger Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs.
We are at war with foreign enemies and with the enemies within and we are at war with the stupidity of many in this country. Any one of these enemies can and will destroy our country and our freedom.

Ground Zero Mosque IMAM: "US HAS MORE MUSLIM BLOOD ON ITS HANDS THAN AL QAIDA"
Only IF we allow it to happen.
I’m not willing to do that.
There is some truth to the Imam’s claim, but only in the following way: The more powerful a thing is, the greater its ability to do both good and evil.
e.g. Human beings do absolutely atrocious things compared to animals. We also to far more good than animals.
