Be fair, Ruben.
The article is about the fact that this cleric disappeared and these
quotes have appeared on an Arabic website, BUT there is significant
question whether he actually said these things.:
"Neither The Times nor the sheik's associates at the mosque in Manhattan
were able to reach him in Cairo to ask him about the remarks attributed to
him. But colleagues said that if he made the comments, they would be a
dramatic turnaround for a Muslim leader who was a mainstay at interfaith
events with New York's rabbis and ministers.
"It does not represent at all the policy and the beliefs of the Islamic
Cultural Center, nor what Imam Gemeaha was teaching the Islamic community
during his three and a half years here," said Mohammad Abdullah Abulhasan,
Kuwait's ambassador to the United Nations, who heads the mosque's board.
"It really took me by surprise to see this."
