The point Condell is making, and which you are defending, is that Muslims should not have a right to build a mosque near the 9/11 site. In other words for banning it.
How is this banning the religion? It's mere banning the erection of a symbol of a belief system which caused the tragedy. It would be in the same bad taste as would allowing ku klux klan members to build their monuments in places where black have been persecuted or allowing neo-nazis to erect giant swastikas to be build near a synagogue....
