GZ Imam Rauf Attempts to Beguile Christians Gathered at Q Gathering. Any Bonhoeffers Here?

 Some scenes from last night’s informational picket of Imam Rauf who wants to build a mosque at Ground Zero in the name of tolerance and comity. Sure, buddy.
It was a small gathering but we handed out some flyers containing some of the Imam’s immoderate statements in hopes that someone going to the Q gathering would ask him about them. I don’t know if they did, alas. 
Participants looked sheepish walking past.


They probably thought it was closed minded of us to bring up the unpleasant things the Imam has said.
The Portland based freelance religion writer for USA Today,  Tom Krattenmaker, asked me a couple of questions but took no notes. He asked me why I believed the things I did about the Ground Zero Imam. Besides the obvious –wanting to plant a victory mosque at ground zero and his statements about September 11th, I named work by terrorist prosecutor Andy McCarthy, Robert Spencer (he pulled a face when I said this name) of Jihad Watch, Brigitte Gabriel of Act for America, former terrorist turned born again Christian Walid Shoebat, Victor Davis Hansen, and Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy. He told me he didn’t trust any of those sources. I think it’s safe to say that Mr. Krattenmaker is a September 10th American. We’ll move him to the Neville Chamberlain column along with some of these gullible folks who attended the Q. Don’t expect to find any Bonhoeffers here.
