During an interview on New York WABC radio in June 2010, Imam Rauf declined to say whether he agreed with the U.S. State Department's designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization. Responding to the question, Rauf said, "I'm not a politician. I try to avoid the issues. The issue of terrorism is a very complex question... I am a peace builder. I will not allow anybody to put me in a position where I am seen by any party in the world as an adversary or as an enemy."

So, he is a master deflector. When asked about the bombing of innocent civlians he plays the blame game with the US going back to WWII.
When asked if the US deserved what happened on 9/11 he says that we were at least complicent in what happened. So yes he does believe we deserved it.
When asked if he would denounce Hamas, he dances like a supporter of Hamas.
