Can The Washington Post Pass It's Own Test?

In an Op-Ed for the Washington Post about Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Anne Applebaum writes:
And now we come to what may be a truly fundamental test, maybe even a turning point, for that part of the world generally known as the West.

The test is this: Are prominent, articulate critics of radical Islam, critics who happen to be citizens of European countries or the United States, entitled to the same free speech rights enjoyed by other citizens of European countries and the United States?

Legally, of course they are. In practice, they can say what they want -- and then they can be murdered for doing so.
Another test: can critics of terrorist groups such as Hamas get easy access to the Op-Ed page of newspapers such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The LA Times as easily as Hamas can? (See HonestReporting)

Furthermore, when can we expect full coverage of the Holy Land Foundation trial?
And one more thing: when can we expect real coverage of the various questions surrounding the activities of CAIR?
