In fact it only seems to be a controversy because the republicans want to turn it into a political point scoring issue.

As MMM said... it was approved unanimously by the city.
Maybe I've misunderstood then, because the articles I've read about this seem to point out that opinion polls show that more than 70% of Americans asked are furiously against this. That is not to mention the debates at the bottom of these articles; There are clearly huge negative sentiments towards Muslims, and they use this issue as ammunition.
