Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf
The chairman of the controversial Cordoba House Initiative in New York in conversation with Sami Zeidan.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is the founder of the Cordoba Initiative which is currently seeking to build a cultural center just two blocks away from what is know as ‘ground zero’ in New York City. Many people in the US oppose the so-called ‘ground zero mosque’.
He talks to al Jazeera’s Sami Zeidan about the controversial project, 9/11 and the media, Muslims in the US, building bridges, allegations that he supports terrorism, US foreign policy, and the recent Quran burning.
