Yeah it has nothing to do with Dome of the Rock or Hagia Sophia. It's a community center with a mosque, kind of like how my Catholic campus had a YWCA and a mosque on it.
I think the thing that gets most people 'up in arms' about it is that it's Islam and that a majority of them wouldn't know what an Imam was or what a controversial statement in Islam was.
