[Happy Monkey]

Irrationality is hammered. Christianity bears the brunt because there are more of them in the US, and they are more often the ones trying to make their religion into law. Any Muslim attempting to push for Sharia would (if he weren't simply laughed off the stage) be hammered just as hard.

In this case, what they are trying to do is build a properly zoned building on their own property. What's to hammer?

I've heard it will be visible from the WTC site. It won't. It's in the middle of a block on a road that does not intersect the site. If they ever build the tower, you probably will be able to see part of the roof, but that's true of most of Manhattan.

I've heard it will cast a shadow on the WTC site. It won't. At least one building between it and the WTC site is taller than it.

It's not even on a route to the WTC, unless you are zigzagging through the blocks.

I've heard it's too close. But mosques across the country are protested.

I've heard the guy in charge is a terrorist sympathiser. But he's been sent overseas by the US government as a goodwill ambassador. The quote used to paint him as a terrorist sympathiser is essentially saying that US foreign policy has made things worse in the Middle East.

The argument against the building could be used to say that a Baptist church shouldn't be built near a daycare center because some Catholic priests molested children, and Catholic priests are Christian, and so are Baptists, so the Baptist church is insensitive to area parents.
