I can understand and respect that. It is just that the thread has touched upon legalities so I wanted to clear things up for myself.
I am not opposed to bitching about things you don't like, that is a right as is responding to the bitching with counter bitching, turning it into a never ending cyclone of bitchage, which can either be bitching or more annoying than a bitch in heat (some dog owners can attest to that).

I believe the objection to this building is based on a moral stance to be sure. Many feel that Islam is thumbing their nose at the US by building this structure very close to the World Trade Center grounds. Perhaps some are not seeing this as a religious house of worship but a political statement.

And this is what I really take objection to, treating islam as if it was a single conscious entity. It is not, there are as many interpretations of islam as there are of christianity, just lumping it all into the same pot is far to great of a generalisation to be acceptable in my book.
