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.

You didnt understand how my post was relevant?
You suggested that there was a double standard when it came to being nasty about Islam versus being nasty about Christianity. I was simply saying that "being nasty" is not the issue here. The issue here is that people are challenging the rights of others who happen to be in a minority.
Furthermore, there are safeguards in most democracies that guarantee particular rights and responsibilities to minimize the "tyranny of the majority" effect.
Put simply... basically there are certain things in democracies which it doesnt matter if you are in the majority or not. One of these things is freedom to worship whichever God you want to and not be discriminated it because of it.
