1st link: Umm any unbiased mind can see some truth in his two small quotes here. US policies towards the Middle East has assisted the creation of animosity towards the US. That animosity is part of what Al Queda and similar organizations use to gain converts to their twisted plans. Many people who are not Muslim have made the same remarks and a little open dialogue on how the US foreign policy acts in this region (including one sided support for the illegal actions of Israel) is simply fuel for this type of hatred.

2nd link: He's an Arab who supports a pro-Palestinian charity that was trying to bring much needed aid to the largest prison in the world. Wow that's a shocker.

I think you need to be a little more objective. His history has all been about strengthening an American Islamic voice, one that is built around the American values of freedom and modernization. Those actions far outweigh your disagreement with him on these rather poor choices to proven him to be shady. Maybe read synopsis of his many books.

Yup can't disagree with you there. Terrible links sufficiently embarrassed

I would never want to stop the building of the Mosque considering it is legal. 

But I can't get passed those towers and the reason they give for selecting that area it seems like a slap

And that Imam does not consider Hamas a terror organization it is true

You would have to be nieve if you didn't question his motives
