Can the Church Or Mormon Stop Me From Linking To Thier Site?

The Church of Mormon has a links section, open to anyone:

Quote:
"Below is the button you MUST use to link back to the site. Before I validate your account I will go to the front page of your site and if I don't see it with your link I won't validate your account. You can also use text links, but the button must be on your site as well. We check your site hourly to make sure it is there."
Well, they threatened my host yesterday and now my host is treatening me:

Quote:
remove any and all links to 'The Church of Mormon' and 'Church of mormon.com'
Quote:
The hosted site in question does not, not has ever had, persmission to use the following images or trademarks ANYWHERE or for ANY reason: Church of Mormon, The; Church of Mormon; www.chrurchofmormon.com.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...hurch/logo.gif [created/owned by Church of Mormon.]
Ok, so they renegged on the written agreement for me to use the button. I guess they might be able to file DMCA on that, but ins't that descrimination?

And what about the text links? Surely, they can't bully me into removing those- I can link up to anyone I want, can't I?
