On “The Early Show on Saturday Morning,” Jasser regarded the rallies being planned at Ground Zero, for and against the center, and said he thinks, “Today is especially a day, as we remember and reflect upon 9/11 and looking over that pit of devastation there and feeling that, today, we look through that lens as Americans, not as a Muslim, not as of any faith. I don’t look through this lens of trying to repair my – trying to promote Islam. It’s about fighting the forces that caused this, and I think, if we’re able to unite under that, that’s why 71 percent of Americans are against (the Islamic center).
“It’s not because they don’t want mosques there, there [are] even other mosques closer. Many of us have built over 2,000 mosques in the United States with very little problem. But, I think what unites us is the freedoms and liberties our Constitution gives us, and it’s time for Muslims to look less about promoting ourselves, (have) less of a victimology and (be) more about feeling the pain of the families of 9/11 and understanding what we have to do to repair the house of Islam.”
