– if this story took place in Iran, and it was Christian churches instead of mosques?

The planned construction of over 180 mosques in Germany is mobilizing right-wing xenophobes but also an increasing number of leftist critics. They fear the Muslim places of worship will facilitate the establishment of a completely parallel society.

The issue at hand wasn’t the construction of a missile base or a new nuclear power plant. Yet the media reported “turmoil” and an “enraged” audience in a school auditorium in Ehrenfeld, a district of the German city of Cologne. The mood was almost comparable to that of the protest gatherings once held against nuclear missiles or reactors.

If it were Christian churches in Iran the upper-right-quadrant-wingnuts would be using it as proof of Islamic intolerance and hate for God and the Canadian con-0-sphere would be on it like… well, use your imagination.

– think I wrong?
