Screw legislation... if they want to stop the building of the cultural center they need to pony up cash to buy it.
If they don't have the support of the people enough to put down their own cash they shouldn't have any right to get the state to stop it.
As for the whole "their religion spawned this!" b.s. argument, we should respect our own country enough to allow this to happen. Open tolerance of law abiding citizens is a cornerstone of our country, hatred and demagoguery is a staple of the fundies that caused 9/11.
