TED Talk Tuesday: Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf

Last year, controversy surrounded this speaker, a community center and Ground Zero.  Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf lead a congregation of Muslims who wanted to build a Mosque and Community Center in Manhattan in a building that one of them owned.  As right-wing hysteria broke out about the project, Imam Rauf became the target of their rage as his character was assassinated in public.  In this TED talk, the mild-mannered man tells us to get out of our own way and find compassion for others - an important lesson for us all to learn.
