re: #931 EdDantes
It is nice that Hamas has no influence on their decision.
Hamas was never going to have any influence on their decision. The group building Park51 is Sufi, which places them in both ideological and theological opposition to fanatical groups like Hamas and Al Qaeda.
All of the hysteria over Hamas has been because people are acting like all Muslims have some sort of weird hive mind. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
