Indeed. First Amendment rights also belong to the community, not just the builders. But like I say, the NYers have to decide what they want in their neighborhoods.

Is the fact it is going to be Islamic, situated close to where Islamic fundamentalists destroyed buildings and killed innocent people a valid criterion for making that decision?

That is the link being made.

It wasn’t the Muslims requesting to have a Mosque there that killed those people, but they seem to be guilty by association. Enough guilt apparently that they should be refused a permit.
