Isn't this unconstitutional? Why does it make a difference if we subsidize Islam overseas, rather that here? I don't really mind the government helping religion out a little, but it should be impartial, and we should be getting more than continued terrorist attacks for our money.

The Middle Finger Mosque is a clever PR ploy by Muslims who are not really looking out for the greater glory of God. If we allow it, we look like we've given in to the forces of a new caliphate. If we drive it elsewhere, Muslims overseas will be told that it proves we hate Muslims. However, it should be clear to everybody that it is not outlawed. All the opponents are asking is that the developers show some respect to the people of NYC and New Jersey who bore the brunt of the 9/11 attacks. I doubt that an attempt to build a cathedral in Mecca or Medina, or most other Muslim cities would get as restrained a reception as this has gotten.
