Why did Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf use this phrase?

That's basically the same thing Petreus said. What's your problem?

He said what he meant and he meant to threaten the people of the New York to allow him to have his way of there will be explosions. This from the "bridge builder" and the Muslim voice of America to the Middle East.

It is different than what Petreus said for one reason. Petreus was talking about an action that desecrated the Muslim religion with the burning of the Quran. The moving of the mosque does not stop them from worshipping as they please, it just changes where they worship as they please.

He said exactly what he meant. He is a radical who is stirring up trouble. Notice the difference in perception between his history, and the just as controversial action of burning the Koran. Both actions are meant to illicit a reaction, and flex their muscle on the world stage.

'Explode' was appropriate. Code, no doubt.

There are two kinds of Muslims in the world.

1. The kind who blow things up

2. The kind who cheer news of the explosion.

Yes he is right the most powerful country in the World should be very careful and not allow its people freedom to express themselves.

He realizes the muslims are far more of a threat than the Americans against the cultural center.

Some culture, huh?

So I guess we must bow down to our peaceful Muslim friends to appease the crazy Muslim terrorists?

I thought we were at war with terrorists?

Another Islamic threat,give us what we want or we'll bomb something.

We need to tell them: " When the next bomb goes off,evacuate Mecca quickly,because we are going to destroy it."

When the bomb goes off,Islam loses a Holy City.

A revolution is a coming to this country

what he meant was, "We have to be careful recruiting new terrorists at the Victory mosque in New York, so we don't get caught."

Yes, it was a threat.
