I didn't mention anything about any religion so I don't know what you are talking about. If the majority of people don't want it there, then it shouldn't be there, that's democracy. Considering I'm English it's really got nothing to do with me and I can only go on what the actual people in New York think.
I think I am confused. You are pro-church but anti-mosque?

And actually what you describe is not how things work in America. Recently in California a vote to ban gay marriage passed (52%-48%) but that vote has now been deemed unconstitutional by the District Court. Just because the majority vote for it, doesn't mean it is lawful or right.

And there has been no vote on allowing an Islamic community center blocks away from Ground Zero, there were just a poll done by CNN. That does not constitute a vote.

If a legal action were to be taken to block this center's construction, it would be unlawful and unconstitutional. There is hardly any way to deny that.
