Shaikh Shafayet Mohamed is an unlikely opposing voice in the heated debate over a proposed Islamic center just two blocks from the site of the World Trade Center.
The spiritual head of Darul Uloom in Pembroke Pines believes it will do more harm than good.
"It's a good idea, it's a good everything, but wrong place," said Mohamed. "To build a mosque on that spot will only aggravate more problems as it is already doing, and it hasn't even been built."
Shaikh Mohamed, who leads the largest Muslim congregation in South Florida agrees with President Obama's argument that Muslims have a constitutional right to practice their religion but to him its more a matter of sensitivity.
