re: #287 jayzee

I’m wondering, if elements of this mosque’s committee felt sympathetic to Hamas or AQ, but broke no laws-would that change anyone’s opinion of their right to build this mosque? Or, like Christians (and other religious groups) are Muslims allowed to have opinions that are offensive to others?

I assume there’s probably some level of sympathy for Hamas. It’s very rare to see Muslim groups denounce Hamas and if they do it’s usually in the form of denouncing all “terrorist” activity including Israeli. That’s just the way it is. As long as they aren’t sending money or material support they are allowed to root for who ever they want.
