But a legal side must be relevant to us all. Would a religious Jewish person to whom the country law is not relevant rid themselves of Halacha.

We must respect the law and abide to it even if we do not like it.
( I am not talking about where the country’s law clearly violates halacha, but when it is emotional and ethical, which clearly does not override halacha.
Personally, It doe not bother or effect me at all, no matter what the outcome is. I truly believe that they do have the right and may build the mosque there.
Ethically, I wish they would re-locate somewhere else, as it does cause emotional stress (and trauma) to many people.
But, I would not fight it on any ground, since they have the right just as everyone else does.
I know I seem to be contradicting myself, but there is a difference between the ethical, legal, personal and even emotional standpoint.
