Locals Protest Mosque That's Actually a Church

Some vigilant citizens in Phoenix, Arizona are up in arms over a domed church that they wrongly believe to be a mosque. The large building, still under construction along a busy interstate, is actually a nondenominational church. The backlash has been severe enough that the church's leaders have hung a giant banner over the dome: "IF YOU THINK DIFFERENT YOU ARE WRONG -- WE ARE BUILDING A CHRISTIAN HOUSE OF WORSHIP." The incident suggests that the widespread backlash against Muslim-American centers, which began this summer in reaction to the planned Cordoba House in New York, may still not have fully receded.
Phoenix's CBS affiliate KPHO reports, "People behind a new church in Phoenix are trying to stay ahead of any potential controversy or hate that accompanied the announcement of a proposed mosque near Ground Zero in New York City."
I'd agree with all you've said except the "patriotic" part. I'm guessing they aren't patriotic, but simply small-minded, bigoted, and idiotic. Your typical liberal types. lol
I'd be prepared to bet a cold hard £10 note (I've one on standby in the freezer) that the people who freaked-out are scared of 'Islam taking over their freeedurmmmmmmmmz' - the patriotic arsemongers.
