People disagree. Its really that simple. You say Islam, but forget that is has many different sects and sub-sects. All Muslims follow the Quran, but their interpretation of it varies. Its kind of like, why don't all Christians follow the Pope? As well, define 'land of the infidels'. You seem to imply that all Muslims consider the West as infidels, or something?What senor Dien either deliberately omitted or neglected is the question: Is it possible for one to wonder if, since there is a historical precedent for such a central moral-legal authority in Islam, why are there none today? Or more importantly, why are there no serious efforts by those who controls access to Islam's holiest icons, Mecca and Medina, to create such a centralized moral-legal authority for Islam? The cynical would move, or jump, to the conclusion that for now, when the world is religiously divided, it serves Islam's interests to have no such centralized moral-legal authority. Let the individual mosques do as they see fit wherever they are in the lands of the infidels.
Why are you viewing Islam is such a negative light? And the objections aren't irrational, just idiotic.The MEastern muslims' apathy to this proposed mosque seems to be an apt expression of that 'praxic understanding' and seemingly begs the question to American muslims: 'Why are you doing this to Islam's image when our faith is under such intense and negative scrutiny?' And Americans' objections are called 'irrational'?
Also, you used the words 'Animal Kingdom'. That is a insult to Saudi Arabia, just to let you know.
