Some commenters in this post (and over at Little Green Footballs) are (unaccountably, to me) skeptical about Laura Mansfield’s tale of the mosque. I emailed her to ask if she wanted to respond, and she wrote:
I did not provide details as to the location of the mosque or the date of the visit simply for safety reasons. They do not have my full name. However if I provide the date and the name/location of the mosque I might as well walk back in, hand the imam a copy of the article, and wait for the backlash.
I do not have the weight of a governmental agency behind me; I have had to redact certain information for security purposes.
Let me also add that the sessions were audiotaped – not broadcast quality but certainly understandable.
I suspected that was the situation, as I noted in previous comments. People will, of course, continue to believe (and disbelieve) as they choose.
