"Anti-Mosque Sentiment in America: Lessons from Europe?"

Todd Green, Huffington Post, Anti-Mosque Sentiment in America: Lessons from Europe?, 31 Jul 2010 "Many Americans find it difficult to believe that the U.S. has anything to learn from Europe when it comes to religion. The recent controversies over mosques suggest otherwise. That's because this is a story that has been playing out in Europe for some time, with results ranging from restrictions on religious liberty to a worsening of tensions between Muslims and non-Muslims. America cannot afford to go down the same path."
