| 1. I doubt there is much critical thinking going on... |

in those Muslim nations that treat other religions as 2nd class citizens or don't allow any other religious places at all. The only place the story will play at all are those Muslim nations that are somewhat tolerant towards other religions themselves. Most Americans think they have the right to build the mosque at least. But there is still a lot of fear and ignorance out there.
