BTW is your friend apart of a coalition against the building of the masque? I am really hoping they fight this thing tooth and nail.

No, he's an attorney who believes that any legal attempt to stop the mosque is doomed to fail under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA). Interestingly enough, the same people who are against the mosque have had no problems in the past with churches using the RLUIPA to overcome challenges to church expansions, renovations, etc.
He also lives in Manhattan and personally has no problem with it.
