Imam terror error Ground Zero mosque leader hedges on Hamas By TOM TOPOUSIS June 19, 2010 http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/imam_terror_error_efmizkHuBUaVnfuQcrcabL#ixzz0radT2Pys The imam behind plans to build a controversial Ground Zero mosque yesterday refused to describe Hamas as a terrorist organization. According to the State Department's assessment, "Hamas terrorists, especially those in the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, have conducted many attacks, including large-scale suicide bombings, against Israeli civilian and military targets." Asked if he agreed with the State Department's assessment, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf told WABC radio, "Look, I'm not a politician. "The issue of terrorism is a very complex question," he told interviewer Aaron Klein. "There was an attempt in the '90s to have the UN define what terrorism is and say who was a terrorist. There was no ability to get agreement on that." Asked again for his opinion on Hamas, an exasperated Rauf wouldn't budge. "I am a peace builder. I will not allow anybody to put me in a position where I am seen by any party in the world as an adversary or as an enemy," Rauf said, insisting that he wants to see peace in Israel between Jews and Arabs. Rauf also would not answer a question about Egypt's outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. "I have nothing to do with the Muslim Brotherhood. My father was never a member of the Muslim Brotherhood," he said, disputing a rumor. Rauf's position has come under a microscope as he leads an effort to build a $100 million mosque and community center at 45 Park Place, near Ground Zero. Meanwhile, a pastor on Staten Island who signed off on a controversial plan to sell a former convent to the Muslim American Society has changed his mind. St. Margaret Mary R.C. Church Pastor Keith Fennessy sent a letter to Archbishop Timothy Dolan saying that, "after careful reflection," he has withdrawn his support for the convent sale. But New York Archdiocese spokesman Joseph Zwilling told the Web site SI Live, "The contract was signed, and [Fennessy's withdrawal of support] does not cancel that."
