I guess it was after this all Christians evolved. Catholics must not count or FLDS or abortion doctor killers or...

Wow, Islam MUST be the one true religion!!
(Weird to see the usual elements who are paranoid about anything Christian now waving the flag of Islam)
I mean, isn't it weird to have the president and a mayor so outspoken about how important it is to have a particular religious building in a certain place? Why is this a government issue at all? Whoever owns the land can put what the hell they want there (assuming compliance with reasonable zoning laws), and whatever private citizens don't like it can oppose it or put barriers in the way utilizing legal means (the actual land ownership/usage situation might be more complicated than that, I haven't bothered to look that up).
Personally, I'd rather not there be a mosque/prayer area there, but I wouldn't lift a finger to stop it. Part of religious freedom is having religious preferences - even if you're not a practicing member of any religion. One can think that Islam is "worse" than Christianity or Judaism, either because of the philosophies, the practice, the impact in the current world, whatever (Just like one can think that they all suck).
