In what way do the cultural mores of the leaders and congregants of
the mosque/masjid contribute to our vaunted tolerance, when they
oppose a state liquor store in their immediate vicinity?

They may be motivated by their religious beliefs. As I am, in this
case, motivated by my belief that the community at large should
show more sensitivity to the cultural mores of some of the very
neighbors who contribute to our vaunted diversity and tolerance.
I may be wrong on this, of course, I'll certainly stand corrected
if you have proof otherwise. But religious law is not the basis of
the stated opposition to the granting of a zoning variance as
presented in the arguments by the leaders and congregants of the
Mosque as presented to the Zoning Board.
