Imam Rauf Rejects O'Reilly's Surrender

O'Reilly has no clue what he is dealing with.

Bill O'Reilly Will Help Build Ground Zero Mosque If Imam Rauf Condemns 9/11 and 'The Jihad' (VIDEO)

Bill O'Reilly had Deepak Chopra on 'The O'Reilly Factor' (weekdays, 8PM ET) Tuesday, and during a discussion about O'Reilly's role in the Ground Zero Mosque controversy, Chopra revealed that he knew Daisy Khan, wife of Ground Zero mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.

O'Reilly had message for Chopra to deliver to Rauf through Khan:

"You tell him this. All Imam Rauf and his crew have to do is say 'we're going to dedicate this mosque -- community center -- to peace. And we are going to condemn what happened here on 9/11,"' O'Reilly stipulated. "(Then) I'll get a hammer and help them down there."

"I'm telling you, they're prepared to do that," Chopra responded.

As it stands, O'Reilly has tasked Chopra with bringing Imam Rauf onto 'The Factor,' where Rauf will presumably do his condemning, and then O'Reilly will presumably make plans to do his building.

Will this happen? Who knows. But there is no doubt O'Reilly is milking the whole Ground Zero Mosque thing for every last drop.


He doesn't know Rauf has done it already.
Now he will have to help build the mosque.
I can see the happy press conference where Bill takes a spade and does the groundbreaking, and makes a speech praising Rauf and moderate Islam..........

Uh....wait. Not so fast.

The Imam's response? Another giant middle finger .............

Irony: Mosque Imam Thinks O'Reilly Is 'Offensive' FOX Nation

Just when we thought the Bill O'Reilly-View dust-up might be dying down comes a statement from Feisal Rauf, imam of the Cordoba House at Park51, site of the proposed mosque two blocks away from Ground Zero in New York.

"Bill O'Reilly's remarks about Islam on The View were not helpful to the cause of mutual trust and understanding and only served to further fuel an irrational fear of Islam," says Rauf. "We all have a right to express our opinions. But we also have a responsibility to do so in a civil and respectful fashion."

He adds, "If future generations are to live in a safe and peaceful world, we must break the cycle of misunderstanding and mistrust that encourages extremism here and around the world. Mr. O'Reilly's uninformed comments were offensive, not only to his interviewers, but also to millions of American Muslims."
