Or are you conceding that there are indeed some organizations should be disallowed from erecting facilities (if not, explain Walmart...)?

If you are indeed conceding the latter, please justify how you would permit this organization under this particular leadership while not allow another extreme organization under extremist leadership.

As an aside, I love how Bloomberg repeatedly refers to "tolerence" on this issue. So wait - we're supposed to tolerate those who wish us and our way of life destroyed?

Perhaps America stands for tolerence, but shouldn't there be pragmatic limits to that?

PS: Here's another one - should NAMBLA be allowed to build a facility across the street from an all-boys elementary school? If you were the a parent of a student there would you attempt to block that? (If not, what the hell is wrong with you?)
