The mosque is something they have every right to put up, but the timing and placement of it is obviously not well conceived.

I just picture the reverse happening and it was Christian's or Jews 10yrs after some radicals from their religion did something similar to Muslims and then opened up a religious center a decade later.. There would be riots and chaos.

But having said that, the ground zero mosque debate has gone off its rails and is really doing what we expected when the first hint of controversy came up; divide and stir up religious anger, frustration, mistrust, etc..

As for this particular small church burning books, well he's an idiot and his congregation are also morons for going along with a horrible horrible idea. Whats much more frustrating to me is the amount of time and coverage they get since its basically a tiny group that isn't representing many people.
