Do you support Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf?

. . . or is it just the mosque and it's attendees that you support because they need a place of worship, regardless of how much turmoil they cause?

From what I've read (by no means exhaustive), I support Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, at least in his attempts to bring greater understanding among the Muslim and non-Muslim communities.

If he does other things that I don't approve of, then I don't approve of those. Approving of one facet of someone doesn't mean that they get a pass on everything.

Otherwise -- I think you like me OK. Does that mean that you support all my opinions? Or just my right to have and express them?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I do like you Ok - I don't agree with your opinions, and regardless, I would still put you on my resume as a contact.

Would you say the same for the Imam?

Define your meaning of "support" in this context.

Well, I don't know him. But frankly, I don't think I'd avoid mentioning that I knew him if I did.

Should the mosque be built where and how - even if any other Imam was to run it.

The other half dozen threads are insufficient to answer this question?

Obviously not.

I don't support or oppose either one.

I do support the right of people to buy property that they can afford and that meets zoning laws - even if that pisses off religious extremists.
