I think that in fact this mosque is getting POSITIVE special treatment because of religion. THAT, I have a problem with.
Would, for example, the Westborough (sp?) Baptist Church have had any problems? (assuming their inbreed congregation could cobble up enough money to buy a hotdog stand in NYC, let alone a large parcel of land) That is the "god hates fags" church.
Think THAT would manage to get through zoning in NYC? Or would they have found SOME reason to disallow them—say in the same area as Stonewall in the Village.
My guess is that "god hates fags" in the Village would manage to get disallowed using the same legal methods used to ALLOW a mosque.
