I see that this film is sponsored by the David Project, which is trying hard to prevent the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB) from finishing the mosque it is building at Roxbury Crossing. The David Project throws a lot of vague accusations about 'terrorist connections' against the wall in hopes the some of them will stick. This conduct creates needless discord between the local Jewish and Muslim communities.
Not that I'm a great fan of the ISB, either. They are suing the David Project and various news media, claiming defamation. I think even wrongheaded speech is free speech and deserves to be protected, and this lawsuit has a chilling effect.

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
