I realize I'm mostly preaching to the choir in my little corner of the Internet here, but thefreak's posting last night about those teabaggers freaking out about the "Ground Zero mosque" got me thinking. I wonder if anyone has asked them if they would be opposed to a Shinto shrine in Honolulu? Because there's actually a couple there already. Only a few miles from Pearl Harbor. Commence freakout in 3.. 2.. 1.. Noooo!
Or how about the *two* Episcopal churches mere blocks from Bunker Hill?
Not that it would matter much, since the kind of people that would hassle random strangers would probably just argue that a mosque is somehow "different." Different how? If a Shinto shrine is ok, and a Episcopal church is ok, but the mosque is singled out, then congrats, you're part of the problem.
( I double dog-dare someone to go mount a huge protest the two Episcopal churches. >:) )
