The organizers of the mosque on Park Place are folks I recognize. One of the owners of the property for the planned mosque is a businessman, Sharif El-Gamal, who is married to Rebekah, an American woman from East Hampton, who converted to Islam, but who still wears shorts and tank tops in the photos posted on her Facebook page. She reads Goodnight Moon to her baby Jennah, her daughter Sarah, a toddler with locks of curly blond hair, and Peanut, the family cat. The couple and other organizers, such as my friend Ameena Meer, an advertising executive who once dated Salman Rushdie, want a moderate imam at the mosque, and have found one in Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf.
