Zolt, you can be sure that you can open up a pork store, a branch of Hillel House, a Hindu temple, or most anything across the street from the mosque.
I would welcome a monument to Daniel Pearl right near the place.
In the Middle East they call this stuff "incitement", in NYC, it's business as usual.
You can be sure that the Europeans remain ever ready to lecture the Americans on tolerance without themselves actually having any more than we possess.
