Well, the Islamic Center being proposed in New York isn't actually a mosque. There will be a "prayer room" but there will be no minarets and no Muezzins calling the faithful to prayer, nothing that would make the center identifiable as a mosque to a Muslim.

Now, that being said, what about Bugtussel? What if you had a bunch of Pakistani 7-11 franchisees move to town, maybe 100 or so of them? Suppose they wanted to build a mosque so that they could practice their religion in the conventional way. Would you be opposed to that?
