Idiot America Watch

Some of the good people in Phoenix, Arizona have been protesting the construction of a mosque in their midst. Now, let's just set aside the whole Islamophobia issue, and let's ignore the apparent "refudiation" (as Sarah Palin would say) of this country's avowed tradition of religious tolerance.

You can understand why these earnest patriots are confused. I mean, churches never have domes:

So when you see a building under construction and you notice a dome taking shape, it just makes sense to assume it's a mosque, right?
