Can we spare 5 million to build the Mosque?

There are Muslim community centers all over the country and they offer community based services. Legal aid, medical clinics, food banks - why is this application for a grant for the same services any different?

Most of the (other) community centers were built before "PR" was needed, SO, what's the issue? Just some hate speech? LOL

I don't have a problem with the services. This just is far from being an actual Mosque and able to serve. If they apply for grants after they finish their Mosque in 5-10 years, it would make sense.
