Anyway, the banning of building a religious building would fall under the building permit laws and zoning laws. Which are local laws. I have a feeling that much like buying/selling a house or apartment, there are rules that say something to the effect of 'does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, or creed,' in it.
Of course, trying to change the building permit and zoning laws to ban mosques would NEVER make it through the court system as acceptable.
I would assume so. I got the impression from the Fox interview that his concern was with terrorism. Thats a legitimate concern as there are mosques associated with Wahhabism that seem to foster extremism, and if the founders of a prospective mosque have dubious connections then there would be a legitimate concern but objecting to a mosque simply for its religious association with Islam is going a bit far.
If Mr. Cain was as serious as he claims on terrorism. Then explain why he isn't as strong attacking white, middle class, folks that once served in the US Military? Since that *IS* the discription that could be attached (among other things) to Mr. Timothy McVeigh. Last I checked, he was accused of of the Oklahoma City Bombing back on April 15, 1995 (and found....GUILTY). And you know why he doesnt do that? Because he would never get nominated for the GOP ticket.
I actually disagree with Cain's stance as illustrated above but contrasting a handful of white anti-federalist extremists like McVeigh with Islamic extremism isn't fair either. I'm not saying that all muslims or a majority are terrorists. Clearly it is only a small minority but extremism is a trait of Islam more so than other faiths, even compared to Christianity which has its share. How can I justify that? Well in Egypt which is a relatively westernised Islamic nation some 83% still support death for apostacy as a PEW poll found that was taken last year. I think it is possible to point out these problems whilst still asserting that most Muslims are responsible law abiding people.
