At a forum in 2006, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf maintained that U.S. terrorism brought about Islamic terrorism. This aides the comments that the Imam made just 19 days after the September 11 terrorist attacks that U.S. policies were an 'accessory' to what happened on 9/11. Last week, we went to the site of the Ground Zero Mosque-- which is located just two blocks away from the WTC site-- and interviewed the Imam's close friend and security guard on whether Imam Rauf ever clarified his comments made about U.S. policies as the reason for the attacks; he responded saying the Imam doesn't have to.
