One of the interesting things about this is that Herndon is located in northern Virginia which is by far the most liberal part of the Commonwealth (It may in fact go to Webb). If the people feel to take action like this there, just think what the rest of the Commonwealth would do (of course the center would never be set up in the rest of the Commonwealth in the first place).
Actually, I see way more Bush stickers in Herndon than I do in Falls Church/McLean...
I didn't know about the Islamic dimension to this story. On a slightly related note, the last time I visited my friend in Herndon, I left her neighborhood just as the postal truck was making its rounds. The postman looked just like that freaky Abu Hamza guy from the UK (the guy with the cloudy eyeball). He was decked out in white kurta pajamas, plus prayer cap. I called my friend immediately to laugh about Osama bin Mailman.
