Faisal quote taken out of context? I mean, who trusts Ed Bradley and CBS?
*Although the First Amendment does protect many examples of free speech, the Supreme Court decided in ''Roth v United States'' that standards could be applied to obscenity or otherwise ruthlessly inflammatory speech. Some could argue, as many of the 9/11 families have done, that the construction of a mosque near the former World Trade Center would constitute exactly this type of "speech."

Sarah Palin's Facebook page attributes to Imam [[Faisal Abdul Rauf]] the following quote:
* "United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened."<ref> [http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=411073718434 Sarah Palin's Facebook Page]</ref>
Faisal's website says that he was misquoted:
* The ‘60 Minutes’ piece was completely incorrect as the statement was edited out of context. In the full interview, Imam Feisal describes the mistake the CIA made in the 1980s by financing Osama Bin Laden and strengthening the Taliban. This view is widely shared within the US and the US Government today, and Imam Feisal underlines the importance of not supporting “friends of convenience” who may in the future become our enemies. This is common sense. [http://www.cordobainitiative.org/?q=content/frequently-asked-questions Cordoba Initiative] - Frequently Asked Questions
