No, I don't believe it's a threat; I believe it's a statement of fact. The Imam is saying that if the building is moved, some fundamentalists may see it as a slight against Islam. Throughout this whole debate though I don't think we've heard anywhere near enough from 'ordinary' Islams, most of whom I'm sure wouldn't careif it was moved. The "voice" of this issue seems to be sitting with the radical Muslims who are not pushing the matter on the basis of religious freedom, but as a further inducement to violence.
