Harold Attridge, PhD Biography |
| Title: |
Dean of Yale University Divinity School |
| Position: |
Pro to the question "Is It Appropriate to Build a Muslim Community Center (aka the ''Ground Zero Mosque'') near the World Trade Center site?" |
| Reasoning: |
"We need to begin by recognizing that it was not the whole Muslim world that crashed into the Twin Towers on Sept. 11. It was a small fanatical group within Islam, and I think we need to stop demonizing the whole of the Islamic world because of the actions of Islamic radicals. I hope this project will go forward."
"Most Religious Leaders Support Mosque," TIME, Aug. 18, 2010
