Dr. Tawfik Hamid is Chair for the Study of Islamic Radicalism at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies.  He is also a former radical Muslim activist and is closely watching the controversy surrounding a proposal to build a mosque near New York City's Ground Zero. Dr. Hamid says there is one way the supporters of the mosque project can defuse criticism of their plans. According to Dr. Hamid, the mosque's supporters must make a public and unequivocal statement regarding their opposition to militant Islam and, specifically, to harsh provisions of Sharia law.  Click here to listen to Dr. Hamid's comments on Washington, DC's WTOP radio.
