Son of Hamas Founder: Ground Zero Mega Mosque a “Bold Affirmation” of the Same Quran That Brought Down the Towers

Weasel Zippers:

Several experts on Islam, including the Son of Hamas  author, are opposed to the idea of building a “mega mosque” near Ground Zero because they say the motivation is political not reconciliation.

“Why was this particular site selected? Because the need for a $100 million mosque is so great? Because 45-47 Park Place is the only place left in Manhattan to put a mosque?” posed Mosab Hassan Yousef author of the bestselling book Son of Hamas.

“No. Because it will make a powerful political and religious statement.”

Yousef, like several other Christian scholars with expertise on Islamic strategies, warns that despite appealing reasons given for the mosque – such as improving interfaith relations, it will stand as a “bold affirmation” of the same Quran cited by the Muslim extremists who brought down the World Trade Center and killed thousands of American civilians in 2001.

The “Son of Hamas” author describes Westerners as going to almost any ength to “avoid offending Islam,” while the Muslim community “appears to think nothing of pouring acid in America’s open wounds."
