I post the following quotes to rebut the argument that speech that "incites the masses" should not be defended by the ACLU, and to put this thread back on topic..........

II - Religious leaders:
The most notable feature of the increased climate of negativity facing Arab Americans in the post 9/11 environment has been an increasingly vicious, sustained and coordinated attack by leaders of the evangelical Christian right on Islam as a faith and even on the Prophet Mohammed as an individual.
Rev. Jerry Falwell told CBS's 60 Minutes program that the Prophet Mohammed was a "terrorist."
Rev. Pat Robertson of the 700 club said Mohammed was a "killer" and a "brigand," and said that Islam was inherently violent and that the Koran preaches violence.
Leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention called Mohammed a "demon possessed pedophile."
Rev. Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham and head of Billy Graham Ministries Inc., and who led the prayer at President Bush's inauguration, repeatedly denounced Islam, calling it "a very wicked, evil religion.
"While this campaign of defamation has been criticized in many quarters, the evangelical preachers involved have by no means suffered significant social or political stigmas. The Rev. Robertson's organization was in receipt of many thousands of dollars in federal aid under the President's faith based initiative programs. Rev. Graham was invited to give an Easter sermon at the Pentagon in 2003. None of these religious figures have been treated as pariahs as a result of their open bigotry, and all continue to be seen as legitimate public figures with an important contribution to the national conversation.

This is no time to be precious about locating the exact individuals directly involved in this particular terrorist attack. Those responsible include anyone anywhere in the world who smiled in response to the annihilation of patriots like Barbara Olson.
We don't need long investigations of the forensic evidence to determine with scientific accuracy the person or persons who ordered this specific attack. We don't need an "international coalition." We don't need a study on "terrorism." We certainly didn't need a congressional resolution condemning the attack this week.
The nation has been invaded by a fanatical, murderous cult. And we welcome them. We are so good and so pure we would never engage in discriminatory racial or "religious" profiling.
People who want our country destroyed live here, work for our airlines, and are submitted to the exact same airport shakedown as a lumberman from Idaho. This would be like having the Wehrmacht immigrate to America and work for our airlines during World War II. Except the Wehrmacht was not so bloodthirsty..............
......We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."
--Syndicated columnist Ann Coulter (National Review Online, 9/13/01)
