Thanks Michael. I have no doubt that various public figures say different things depending on who is listening. There is plenty of evidence of that within our own political ranks where a politician will say one thing at a private fundraiser and something very much different on CNN.
I only ask because, to me, the phrase "best practice" would indicate that "everyone does it" and the context here was an unsourced statement that the Imam heading the Park51 project is preaching peace and religious tolerance in America but saying the exact opposite to Arabic-language media. I think that most Muslims, particularly in America, are peaceful and won't be clamoring for Shariah (meaning the Talib-style interpretation of Shariah) in English or Arabic.
