Imam fears moving NYC mosque could inflame tension
None
The imam behind a proposed Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero says moving it could cause a violent backlash from Muslim extremists and endanger national security.
He says the reaction in the Muslim world could be more furious than the eruption of violence following the 2005 publication of Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Rauf made the comments in an interview broadcast Wednesday night on CNN. (AP)
