Totally agree with you, Hugh.  They want consenssions from us but are not willing to extend any in our direction.  There was a newsman on Fox one evening saying he wanted to open a gay bar next door to this mosque - apparently he received a letter from a muslim cleric saying that he could legally do that but he should show some sensitivity towards islam and not do so!  Apparently this is a one way street!  I really don't know if this guy were serious or not - half the time it seemed as though he actually contemplated doing this - he had a whole stream of proposed names for it - islamabar, etc.!

Personally I am creeped out by the way the politicians on both sides of our border are tripping over their own feet in a rush to accommodate this (and other) religions (with the notable exception of Christianity).

I watch Fox News far too much!
