That is not happening nor will it. That is a what if scenario. I do not care if the build the building but it is not a Constitutional right. Muslims are currently doing fine worshiping in NYC so this building is not going to make or break the religion. It has brought religious differences to the forefront and instead of bringing together all of New York it is putting a rift between the Muslims who want to build this and those opposed. I did not say Christians because there are Jews and other Muslims who are opposed to this as well.
Preventing a religious group from accomodating its members with necessary facilities is tantamount to placing restrictions on freedom of worship. The government does not have the power to interfere with anybody's property rights simply because what they're doing is deemed "insensitive" by some... sensitivity toward others' misguided emotions is not a requirement in New York City's building code.
Now go tell all your Muslim Buddies in their Countries the same.... ohh wait I forgot, since Islam is the only religion that matters outside the US you are fine with Islamic Countries preventing the free exercise of religion with in their domains.
Hypocrite.
We're talking about *OUR* Constitution and preventing freedom of religion and peaceable assembly is against the Constitution, how many mosques and synagouges are in Vatican City?
