And if we disallow it then it will appear that we are biased against Muslims. It would be a mistake to play into the hands of the radical minority by offending the non-politicaly radical Muslim majority.



Who said disallow? Put the plans to build in suspension. Let the furor die down. Stop that purple lipped idiot in the WH from opening his incompetent pie hole about it (good luck). Then negotiate with the planners of the mosque a solution that will allow them to save face (very important in their culture). As for appearances, I don't believe our national dignity should be dependent on your (or any ones) sense of political correctness.
