If your block is zoned for single-family residential, would you object to a Moslem building a 30-story Mosque on the lot next door to you?
Disingenuous response.
How about: If a Muslim family built a similar structure in their back yard and had 15-20 people there for prayers, would we be reading the same story here? Forget the structure, go back to what took place *before* that. If the Muslim family has 15 people in their living room would they have been subjected to the same treatment?
How about the Friday night party of the local gay rights group being hosted there? 15-20 people every Friday night for drinks and a strategy meeting? Not not noisy or disruptive. Would they have been subjected to the same treatment?
You may consider my question rhetorical. We all know the answer. We are not seeing equal treatment under the law. If we were this would be a different discussion.
