More confusing the issue because some people are dishonest
Should they be allowed to build the mosque? You bet, the government should not tell them they shouldn't build it.
But, they should CHOOSE not to in light of the fact that the people they claim to want to build bridges with oppose it 2:1.
I liken this to our own soldiers in Afghanistan, they sometimes come upon villages where they should destroy the whole village because it is infested with with Taliban soldiers and supporters, but they CHOOSE not to because that would offend those who we really do want to build bridges with.
Just because you CAN do something, does not mean you SHOULD do something.
