Fear of Everything

What is going on in Arizona with Islamophobia?  Are too many people in that state watching Fox News?

Posted at RawStory:

Church in Arizona protested because it looks like a mosque

....The Light of the World multidenominational church is being built just off of Interstate 10 and features a dome-like structure.
"Since the distinctive dome shape went up, church leaders said they have received phone calls from concerned neighbors who've mistaken the building for an Islamic mosque," KPHO reported.
"I heard many people, they came over and they say, 'Is this a Muslim temple?' No, it's not," church member Juan Calixto told KPNX....

Would the dome worriers in Phoenix panic at the sight of a domed house
(see below) and an entire town of domed homes????????

The Dome House and the variations of the structure might be too much for "dome-a-phobic" people to bear:
