oomis1105,
You are wrong when you write, “No one disputes the legal right for someone to build on property that belongs to him”. In fact, a right Christian group known as the American Center for Law and Justice — led by an apostate Jew — has filed lawsuits that seek to force the city government to stop the project despite the fact that it is completely permitted within the current zoning. That is a depicable un-American act and it is similar to what anti-Semites have tried to pull in their attempts to stop shuls and yeshivot from expanding.
noitallmr,
You write, “Its like the Japanese building a huge center next to Pearl Harbor…” In fact, there are numerous Shinto shrines in Hawaii, including one close to Pearl Harbor.
