The NY Times has a nice writeup of Imam Rauf (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/22/nyregion/22imam.html?_r=1&pagewanted=1&hp).
It should also be noted that the actual Mosque even closer to ground zero than Park 51 is beyond capacity. Given how Muslim prayer is scheduled, expecting them to be forced to travel to some mythical "not-ground-zero" zone just to pray is just plain rude.
