Subtle!

The attitude and approach of these developers are strikingly similar to those of the Ground Zero mega-mosque's backers: they are demanding sensitivity while showing none, building ostentatiously and acting aggressively, and then gnashing their teeth about "intolerance."

Suppose these obnoxious structures planned for Dudley were part of a mall or a sports arena. When non-religious developers act like this, community members rightfully demand transparency, and air their concerns about the impact of the project on the character of the area. No one gets called a shopper-phobe, or anti-athletics. Indeed, calling the planned structures "obnoxious" wouldn't ruffle any feathers.
