Against Ground Zero Mosque's imam & wife

NEW YORK — Daisy Khan, a self-styled hijabless moderate Muslim, wife of the imam of Ground Zero Mosque Islamic community center says she and her husband have received death threats.

Daisy Khan said Sunday the lives of her and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf are "under threat."

Police do confirm telephone threats were made.

Khan was part of a discussion of Islam on ABC's "This Week" news program.

She says moderate Muslims like her must lead the fight against extremists. She says if moderates are branded extremists they'll be thrown into the arms of al-Qaida.

Developer Sharif El-Gamal has released preliminary sketches of the Islamic center. He says groundbreaking could be up to three years away.

Opponents say the center should be farther away from where Islamic extremists destroyed the World Trade Center on Sept. 11.

Supporters say religious freedom should be protected.

Assalamu Alaikum, Brothers don't forget that Prophet Noah's son was among the wrong doers, Prophet Lut's wife was among the wrong doers. We should think that Imam Feisal is after all a common human being like us and not a prophet. Please come united and support the Imam. His wife even though not wearing Hijab, she is siding the Muslims unlike the wife of Prophet Lut. So please think about this before you write anything about this Imam and his family. JKK for reading.

Assalamu alaikum,
I wonder why some "so called Moderates" are becoming extremists in supporting disbelievers... Should they be called "Moderate Muslims" or "Extreme Supporters of Falsehood" or "Extreme Hypocrites"..I urge our Muslim brothers and sisters to be aware of what is going on behind such scenes. Allah knows the Truth behind all their acts.May Allah keep the Muslim Ummah safe from all fithna.

#1 What exactly is a moderate moslem anyway? 2010-10-03 11:15
I don't get it.. where does this fit in the Islam that came with prophet Muhammad, peace be on him? Does moderate mean another new group? That's all we don't need these days - more groups. Please tell this lady to get dressed as a Muslim and stop playing games.
