Your argument is unbalanced and shortsighted as to cause and effect.
Comparison of Civil and Religious Rights
US Constitution Amendment 1 – Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press, or the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for redress of grievances.
Sharia Law
Non-Muslims are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property. Non-Muslims are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, recite their scriptures, or make a public display of feast days or funerals. Non-Muslims are forbidden to build new churches. A non-Muslim may not enter a mosque without permission. The protection for non-Muslims is withdrawn if a non-Muslim commits adultery with a Muslim woman or marries her, leads a Muslim away from Islam, kills a Muslim, or says anything derogatory about Allah, the Prophet, or Islam. (o11.5 through o11.10)
There's plenty of land. Why do they want to build it there?
Do you think they didn't expect it to be controversial and it might offend many people?
Is there a possibility of them doing that on purpose? You know to divide us even more.
There's plenty of land IN MANHATTAN? You've got to be kidding me.
As to this tired old question of why they want to build it there--the same reason everyone else wants a church or synagogue or mosque in their own neighborhood.
And as has been stated over and over again--THEY ALREADY MEET THERE. They want to build a new building to replace the old, decrepit, damaged building they currently meet in.
A mosque has existed 12 blocks from the WTC for more than 30 years. Then a few years ago this group started to meet in the old Burlington Coat Factory. But now that the neighborhood community board approved the building of the new building and the NY Post got hold of it and put some fancy twists on the story on a slow news day, everyone and their brother is suddenly against the presence of Muslims in lower Manhattan.
About 300 Muslims were killed in the WTC attacks. A lot more ran for their lives out of that building that day--an approximate total 15,000 people got out of those buildings alive--are people so misinformed that they really think that none of them were Muslim???? Are people also so incredibly naive that they think no Muslims are working on the huge rebuilding project at the WTC site in lower Manhattan? How far do we take this? Fire engineers, finance people and construction workers because they belong to the same religion as the one 19 terrorists claimed?
Maybe Newt can hear the silent voices of the thousands of dead innocent Americans

The lawsuit is in regard to David Yerushalmi and the Thomas More Law Center lawsuit against the US government's acceptance, promotion and advancement of sharia (Islamic law and finance).
Neither do Biblical principles. That is why the USA was founded on secular enlightenment principles
You'd probably be surprised to know that there are Christian churches that most definitely do NOT want entanglement of church and state, for many good reasons.
