I don't see how the situations are similar. The pastor is burning a book which represents the entire religion of Islam. Building a mosque and Islamic center in downtown NYC only offends those who ignorantly paint everyone with the same brush or those who accept freedom of religion as long as it's their religion.

Even though this "pastor" is Christian I don't characterise all Christians as book burning intolerant fools.

EDIT: If they were building the mosque out of ground up Bibles then there'd be a parallel.
