there IS no "but" if you truly support their constitutional right to build a "mosque" (which is really a community center with an area to pray on the top floor of the 13-story building).

When you add "but...", you do NOT support their constitutional right. You want them to COMPROMISE their constitutional right. And that's un-American. Period.

Edit to change the original wording to:

For all those who say, "I support the Constitution's 1st Amendment BUT..." there IS no "but" if you truly support their Constitutional right to practice their religion BUT you wish they wouldn't build a "mosque" THERE.

When you add "but...", you do NOT support their Constitutional right. You want them to COMPROMISE their Constitutional right. And that's un-American. Period.
