“However this is NOT about Congress on the Federal level. This is a local government issue and the people have a right to decide the issue of a mosque being built in their community.”

Is it you view that only the Federal Government must abide by the Bill of Rights, while state and local governments may violate your First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Fourteenth Amendment Rights?

The local government is not denying their freedoms of religion practice as outlined in the First Amendment. They just don't want a mosque built on that particular site. There are lots of mosques and practices of Islam has protected freedoms in the USA. Can you park your car any dang place you decide to? Of course not but there are many other places available to park your legal car.

Let's say a sex cult of pedophilia wants to operate as a religion. They want to build their church next to a school but the local community rejects. Does the First Amendment give them ironclad rights to build where ever they please over the objections of the people, by the people and for the people?
