Sorry, Cyn, but it's pretty obvious that any chance of this being a strictly local issue ended 9 years ago next month. Just like the decision to leave the USS Arizona where it is wasn't a local issue.
It's also not a local issue since the media is reporting it as a national issue.
Honestly, "local issue" feels like the response of someone who wants to use that excuse to infringe on someone else's right to the practice of their religion.
