The Muslim cleric behind plans to build a mosque close to the Ground Zero site has blamed politicians such as Sarah Palin for fuelling a "growing Islamophobia" that led to the burning of Korans on the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
The Reverend Terry Jones abandoned his "international burn a Koran day" in Gainesville, Florida on Saturday but there were isolated instances in Tennessee and New York of the Muslim holy book being set alight.
"What has happened is that..certain politicians decided that this project would be very useful for their political ambitions," Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said, adding that this had prompted a "growing Islamophobia" in the US.
Imam Rauf's proposal for an Islamic Centre, containing a mosque, two blocks from the site of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centre, has become embroiled in controversy.
Mrs Palin was the first major national figure to get involved in what had been a localised dispute when she sent a Twitter message in July stating: "Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing."
Imam Rauf said Mrs Palin's intervention had been "disingenuous" and played a part of the issue being "hijacked by the radicals" over the summer.

There are no Muslims anywhere in my part of this state that I know of. I will not welcome any. I will say no more.
It seems that the DEMS have now partnered with the Muslim Community to fight the Tea Party??
So He regrets his decision, which means it WAS insensitive, otherwise he would be proud of it. But if you agree with him that it was a mistake you are Islamophobic. But if he changes his mind its a victory for Terrorists. I have a better idea why doesn’t he get shut up and leave our christian country.
“...cries of DEATH TO AMERICA!”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They want more American blood and that’s all I need to hear from the islamists. I WILL NEVER FORGET 9/11 and I will NEVER support a mosque @ Ground Zero.
Go burn another tire pyre, heathens.
Screw these assholes, this political correctness B.S. is gonna damage this country more than a Quran burning ever would!
Well, that explains why all of those Tea Party types have been going around burning down mosques & attacking muslims for the past 9 years, right?
I blame the imamnazi for growing americanophobia
Wow. It really has come to another war between Judeo-Christianity and Islam. The evil one is rubbing his palms together while grinning and thinking “it” is now almost in his grasp. He’s so happy to have come up with this latest idea of letting the radical Imam do the dirty work for the leftists in America. His ultimate goal is accomplished: Islam wins all; Sarah Palin, Christians and Jews lose and fall.
LOL! Good one. Just about died laughing. Thanks.
Looks right to me. half the things the dams really want makes it easier for the muzzies screwballs to latch onto and lie like the pigs they are and receiving the same “tolerance PC BS. Dems must figure it out soon that the cult of allah only want to kill them along with the rest of us.
He just keeps digging that hole deeper and deeper...
Must be getting his talking points from the White House...
Muslims are very primitive psychologically. They use primitive defense mechanisms with Denial being the basis of all of them, thus the rage we see all the time. They are good at projection, displacement, rationalization, reaction formation, to name a few. And yes, Islam means never having to say you're sorry. That would imply a slight degree of psychological insight. Can't let the masses have that. . .
What realy gauls Rauf is that this woman does not lick Imam Obamas boots and put a scarf on her head.
GFY Rauf. FUBO. FUMO. FUDA. FURE.
Oh GOOD! George W. gets a break. He should send Sarah a thank you card.
Uh...it could be the beheadings, stonings, the abuse of women, and other 7th century atrocities practiced in Muslim countries.
And our POTUS has the unbelievable gall to recite scripture to us “For Scripture teaches us to ‘get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Where on earth did he ever hear this??? It certainly wasn’t from Jeremiah Wright! Does he think whites have no right to be outraged - that this is reserved for browns and blacks only?????
I say, Onward Christian Soldiers! Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. And while we’re at it we ought to store up some pig juice.
They seem to really harp on it. They blame everything on Islamophobia, like the Nazis blames the Jews for everything.
