In other words, you just SAID that, about religious law not being the stated opposition? You don't really have any idea? They didn't hear the case at the ZBA yet - so I'm not sure what you meant by "stated opposition." But you're the one who has been telling us that the mosque didn't want the Wine & Spirits Shoppe across the street and you thought that should be "respected." Why do you think they didn't want it there, if not for religious reasons? Now, I'm sure the list has heard enough of this dialogue, so I'm going to drop it.
