They're looking for reaction, and perhaps confrontation. They'll probably get both.
If their church constitution expresses fidelity to scriptures I would think they could argue its merits based on this scripture:

Act 19:19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

I agree that they are looking for a reaction. Do you think this might in part be a reaction to the deaf ear they have recieved from those who are putting up the ground zero mosque?
