[DAISY] KHAN: The extremists have defined the agenda for the global Muslim community, and we wanted to amplify the voices of the ordinary Muslims who are, you know, law-abiding citizens, and it was my way of, like, helping rebuild by building a center that would create a counter-momentum against extremism.<\/p>\n
[SALLY] REGENHARD: I want to make it clear that I and my\u201d\u201dmembers of my group do not have anger towards Muslims. But it\u2019s too close, it\u2019s too painful, it\u2019s too soon. I\u2019m still trying to find remains of my son.<\/p>\n
[MICHAEL] BURKE: It amounts to an insult. It comes across as intentionally provocative.<\/p>\n
[BOB] FAW: Proponent Khan, though, has drawn a line in the sand, arguing that being forced to move the site elsewhere amounts to \u201csurrender.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
KHAN: I think it would be un-American to ask anybody to leave the neighborhood. We\u2019re part of the neighborhood. I don\u2019t think anybody should be driven out of their neighborhood. It\u2019s about acceptance. Muslims are not being accepted as equals in this country yet.<\/p>\n
