On September 22, 2002 The Miami Herald reported that "officials from Islamic organizations in Florida gathered Saturday to look for ways they could influence some Americans' perceptions of Muslims in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. At a conference... in Davie [FL], the officials showed visible anger at the detention of three Muslim students on Alligator Alley nine days ago and the media coverage of the incident... Ahmed Bedier, of the Islamic Society of Pinellas County, noted the discrepancy between media and police handling of the Sept. 13 incident and the case of Robert Goldstein, a 37-year-old Tampa doctor arrested on charges of planning to blow up mosques."
