I'll be a little surprised if they do. If Greg Gutfield is engaging in "hate speech," then you definitely are. But I was very proud to know you while watching it unfold.

Claire,
Kudos for this. It's engagement exactly as it ought to be conducted.

Park51 @ClaireBerlinski I can't speak for Imam Feisal, you'd have to ask @cordobainit
Hi @Cordobainit, I'm an Istanbul-based American journalist with a few questions. Wonder if you could help me out.
@Cordobainit, I understand that Imam Rauf is a key figure in the Perdana Peace Org., key sponsor of Gaza Flotilla.
@Cordobainit, I'd like to know if there are financial links between Park 51 and the Gaza Flotilla, particularly to the IHH
@Cordobainit, I've spent a lot of time interviewing the IHH, and they're not my idea of moderates.
@Cordobainit The IHH was behind the Mavi Marmara, and as you know the IHH has been declared a terrorist group in France and Germany
In fact, @Cordobainit, they nearly brought Turkey and Israel to the brink of a naval war--in my neighborhood. So I view them dimly.
So @Cordobainit, I'd really welcome the chance to look at your financial records vis-a-vis Perdana. Can you help with that?
Re: A Chat With Park 51 on Twitter
Thanks, Conor.
Re: A Chat With Park 51 on Twitter
So, so far, nothing from anyone? Wow. @cordobainit has only 388 Twitter followers. Not so many, I don't think, that they can plausibly say they missed your Tweets.
I smell a coverup. Keep at it, Claire.
