Legality and civility are separate in this issue. The government can't say no, but the people surely can. They have made their case as well.

It's not all Crusading Karate Kids looking to bust some Middle Eastern hiney either. A bi-partisan disapproval from decent American citizens chiming in about a domestic issue. It's a bad move for those wishing to heal relations in the Muslim community -- regardless if the Imam represents them or not.

But if "The People" don't want it, what difference does it make? They have no power to prevent it outside of legal means.
