“…This [community center project] is also our expression of the 99.9999 percent of Muslims all over the world, including in America, who have condemned and continue to condemn terrorism.”
—Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, Imam Feisal Press Conference - Youtube video

It’s been alleged that Imam Rauf has repeatedly been asked if he would explicitly condemn Hamas for its terrorist activities, and that he has consistently declined to do so. If that’s a false allegation, a counterexample should be easy to find, and would be most welcome.

Apart from the issue of implicitly or explicitly condemning any particular organization, Rauf is saying only about 1 per million Muslims do NOT condemn terrorism, worldwide. That would be approximately 1500, by my estimate. Seems low.

Actually, I’m not looking for a counterexample, I’m looking for a quote of him being asked to condemn and declining. I want to see what he actually said.
