One of the arguments against the Sufi mosque near Ground Zero was that there was already a Salafi mosque in the basement of one of the nearby buildings. This is an old argument. I found this quote in one of my Baptist history books.
"I [Fristoe] knew the General Court to refuse a license for a Baptist meeting-house in the county of Richmond, because there was a Presbyterian meeting-house already in the county, although the Act of Toleration considered them distinct societies." ~ 1772
