23. No, it's not up to them. This is a Constitutional issue
There is absolutely no legal reason why one group should be discriminated against because of their religious beliefs.

If NY was to deny them the right to build their Center, this would go all the way to the SC and NY would lose.

Prejudice is an ugly thing. We have laws against it here. The Constitution protects the rights of people to NOT be harassed because of their beliefs. Several Constitutional Amendments would be violate if the bigots got their way with this.

The sad thing is that those screaming the most could care less about the victims of 9/11. They are simply using those people in the most despicable way as an excuse to express their bigotry.

Thank god we still have a Constitution.
