NY Mosque Imam: US Rights in Line with True Islam

ASSOCIATED PRESS: MANAMA, Bahrain — The imam spearheading plans for an Islamic center near the New York site of the Sept. 11 attacks says America's sweeping constitutional rights are more in line with Islamic principles than the limits imposed by some Muslim nations.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf told the Al Wasat newspaper in Bahrain that the freedoms enshrined by the U.S. Constitution also reflect true Muslim values. >>> AP | Sunday, August 22, 2010
