[quote=harvey]How are they not equivalent? They are both religions and protected equally by the constitution.

Can you explain what is not equal?[/quote]

I am surprised you don’t see that (or suspect you don’t seem to want to see that, but will try anyway).

One historically used the religion for control of state but essentially retreated after a long bloody cycle of violence. The other still openly advocates violence as a tool to expand politically. It is an even more deadly variant of a memetic disease that has not been ‘dealt with’ yet.

But again, the OP expressed a much more local & mundane fear about buying next to islamic center. I provided example of a community dealing with just such a thing in Michigan. And some of you wanted to shout the OP down and attempted to draw a false equivalence between churches and moslem centers.
If expressing such a fear makes OP a troll, what does that say about who you are?
