Support would be more precise than ties. He lauded the Khommeini Revolution at the time and still supports its intents:
Rauf's 1970s letters: Make Israel 'another Arab state' - Maggie Haberman - POLITICO.com
Letters From the Imam - WSJ.com
So, no "ties".
Ok.
I guess the fact he believes 9/11 was an inside job is fine by you? I assume?
Truthers are idiots.
But Rauf never claimed that 9/11 was an inside job - that was someone else.
