Trainer of Future Jihadists?

Who would say such a thing as this?
I share the view of many Americans, French, and Europeans, who say that 9/11 could not have been carried out entirely from outside [the U.S.] - by Muslims or others. The confessions by some people could have been edited. But even if they were not edited, I believe that these people were used in a marginal role. The entire thing was of a large scale and was planned within the U.S., in order to enable the U.S. to control and terrorize the entire world, and to get American society to agree to the war declared on terrorism - the definition of which has not yet been determined.

Answer: A teacher of children in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, named Salah Sultan (or sometimes spelled "Soltan"), on May 17, 2006. Mr. Sultan is the former religious director of the Sunrise School in Hilliard, Ohio, a private Islamic school for K through 8 grades. He continues as a once-a-month lecturer, apparently. Mr. Sultan's online resume lists his personal ambition: "“To live happily. To die as a martyr. To meet the beloved ones in the Paradise of the Lord of Heaven and the earth."

Although he signed the July 2005 Fatwah against terrorism as a member of the Fiqh Council of North America (but see this critique), he has made some other public statements of concern, such as challenging a Swiss Mulim's proposal for a moratorium on the barbaric Shari'a law punishments, saying, that "such an issue may give a chance to secularists and anti-Islamists to move to attack Islam itself."” Shari'a law decrees death to those who convert away from Islam and has other punishments unfit for modern civilization.

In fairness to Mr. Sultan (or Soltan, whichever is correct), he is quoted in the Columbus Dispatch as saying, "But again, if you ask me if I support killing innocent people, I do not." Unfortunately, it has been suggested by many critics of Islam that in Islamic thought, no unbeliever is truly an "innocent." So one is left to wonder about the denial.
