What does Sheikh Maududi or Ayatollah Khomeini have to do with the Park 51 mosque?
btw it will basically be a Sunni mosque and not a Shite one.
They are planning to discriminate against their own religion and you claim they are moderate?
But the question on whether they could have is trumped by the question of whether they should have. The stated aim of the Park51 developers is to provide a community center for lower Manhattans 4,000 Muslim residents. Their own website explained that they understood the need to appeal to the undecided, and change the conversation about Muslims in America. Its pretty clear that this play for federal dollars will generate none of that, starting with the lack of disclosure or community consultation before developers submitted their application, which was due November 5.
