It is so sad that the leaders of this nation, and others, along with the media that informs everyone, are so ignorant concerning the real meanings involved with the acts and thoughts mentioned here ...
The idea, also held and promoted by most religions, that what we see objectively on the surface is what things are all about.
All major religions are much more like almost all peoples that think about them and everything else ... they are simply dualistic (+/-) in that there is good and there is bad, that the major differences in the extremes is what it is all about and the only thing that should be considered, choose your (actually "their", the "authorities" and "leaders") versions of good and deny, fight, and try to "exterminate" the "other", the "bad" ... never ever attempt to understand the nuances, the middle ground grey areas, no no no, never any of that, called "fence sitting" as if it were evil itself ... compassion and cooperation are said to be weaknesses by the dualists ...
The real truth of the universe, denied out of ignorance by world dualists, is that we are all one and that the total is GOD and there is a ubiquitous Spirit as the Trinity aspect, being the (=) in between the potentials of positive (+) and negative (-) choices and realities of this thing we call reality ... (+=-) ... as paradoxical as that seems to objective dualists, it is the subjective truth ...
Back to the Mosque/Koran/Flag/Bible aspects of it all ... they are but OBJECTS that people superficially wrap their minds around ... and most religions, the "orthodox" variety, also see things too objectively involving more the symbols themselves, rather than the subjective spiritual meanings that lie a priori and underneath, the real meanings ... taking the shallow meanings as the sum total as they deny and reject the essence that should be most important ...
Just as Christian "orthodoxy" denies the validity of their own religious Mystics", those that are essentially all about Love and Peace, the Truth ... calling them occult, relating them to evil, and labeling them at best heretical ... so do the Muslims related to their own Mystics, the Sufi, of which the Imam Rauf has always been associated with ... those who practice Jihad as the improvement of the Mind INternally related to Love and Compassion ... as opposed to orthodoxy whose jihad is objective around killing people ... divisiveness, "othering", objective orthodoxy versus subjective Mysticism, the esoteric meanings of Universal Truths concerning Love ...
The promoter of the Mosque does have the better transcendent understanding and motives around the whole issue ... his detractors are just ignorant about the real truths and thus completely misguided ... and the Media is most instrumental in promoting the lessor view ...
