“The major purpose is to make people aware of what America means as a country that protects the right to freedom of religion,” Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf told The Associated Press.
The Muslim cleric who hopes to build an Islamic center near the World Trade Center site said Friday that he’ll tour the country in an effort “to inspire interfaith understanding” for a project that has ignited explosive faceoffs between supporters and opponents.”

This imam is spreading more finely-crafted lies intended to deceive and lull Americans into submitting to pushy Muslims arrogantly shoving their toxic ideology into our culture. We do not have to accept it. What is especially despicable about this as that this man is taking advantage of the naive good will of Americans and using that openness against them to promote a system that is designed to destroy their way of life.
If America truly does wish to protect the right to freedom of religion, it will discourage the spread of the bigoted, violent, hateful ideology that is taught from the Koran, in mosques. If Islam gains the numbers and power it is persistently pushing for, religious freedom will be lost, because Islam is fundamentally opposed to freedom of religion.
This has been played out over and over and over through history and all across the planet: anywhere Islam gains power it violently oppresses other religions.
Preserve religious freedom: oppose Islam.
Islam is to religious freedom what the KKK is to civil rights.
We openly object to and criticize the hateful, bigoted teachings of the KKK, it is time for America to do the same with Islam, and not let it intimidate us with threats of violence or deceive us with smooth words about religion and religious freedom.
