City of Kennesaw, GA, council ruled against building a mosque in a busy shopping center. Good call or violation of the 1st?

My take: as much controversy as Islam has caused for centuries, they shouldn't be denied to build mosques. One can may impose limitations on it, impose criteria that will provide strong accountability for peaceful assembly, but not outright deny it.
If anything, people of Kennesaw should've been distributed ballots house to house and present it to the council, not council taking it into their own hands and voting down on the mosque.
It's now a ticking time bomb of potential state and federal intervention in my opinion.
Your turn

This is a retail space they wanted to lease, not a location zoned for this type of use. Islam does support terrorism. Those who practice radical Islam murder Christians, gays and anyone they disagree with. Those who practice moderate Islam contribute money and provide other support to those who murder Christians, gays and anyone they disagree with.

Sorry to be like this but my attitude has become bitter towards Islam.I feel they are infiltrating our country and we have been fighting against them for several years now.

We can't just build what we want where we want. Urban Planning, zoning permits, public support, there are a myriad of issues that go into the development of an area. Just because something CAN be zoned for a church (no matter what faith), doesn't mean that we wave the wand and voila. I live in Arizona and had no idea that there was such an intense Mormon presence. There are areas where there are elegant Mormon churches facing each other. I will never understand it, but I never felt like it was news worthy. Hate and fear are universal. No one religion owns the rights to extremism.
