The Times ironically accuses anti-Islamic blogger Pamela Geller for having "quoted selectively" the controversial imam, and accuse her of spreading "misimpressions that the project was at the World Trade Center site and would solely house a prayer space." It also hinted why Geller is popular: She ran the cartoons of Muhammad that the Times and other outlets refused to.

The Times' inaccurate portrait of Ann Coulter being outflanked by the Tea Party was accompanied in Sunday's edition by a hostile profile of fiery anti-Islamic provocateur blogger Pamela Geller by Anne Barnard and Alan Feuer. It appeared on the front of the Sunday Metro section under a selection of photos of Geller and the headline "Outraged and Outrageous."

Reporter Anne Barnard (with reporting help from a former CAIR lobbyist) runs interference for imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, sponsor of the secretive mosque project near Ground Zero: "...a host of allegations have been floated: that he supports terrorism...that his publicly expressed views mask stealth extremism. Some charges, the available record suggests, are unsupported. Some are simplifications of his ideas."

The Times offered still more moral support for the controversial Ground Zero mosque on Sunday's front-page profile by Anne Barnard of the man behind the building project, imam Feisal Abdul Rauf - "For Imam in Muslim Center Furor, a Hard Balancing Act." Among the contributors to the report: Thanassis Cambanis and Mona El-Naggar in Cairo, and Kareem Fahim, Sharaf Mowjood and Jack Begg in New York.
