Your analogy is apples and oranges.
That's not a religious rights issue. It's not Freedom of Religion that gives a church the right to build a church or mosque on any land it chooses.
Even a church would have to abide by zoning laws and OHSA safety laws, and wetlands regulations, etc., etc.
In the case in NY there is evidence that the money to build this mosque is connected to people and organizations with suspected terrorist affiliations.
Whatever is decided, it's not a religious freedom issue.
