From Chris Rickert in Saturday’s Wisconsin State Journal, writing on Sun Prairie’s denial of a land use license to the town mosque:
It’s not often you encounter a business park condominium association and Friday call to prayers in the same context.
The first is pure ex-urban Americana, evoking images of identically nondescript buildings, large parking lots and easy access to a major highway.
The second is worlds away, evoking images of rows of dark-skinned men kneeling in unison, Arabic broadcast over bad PA systems, even terrorism.
Quomodocumque 
“What part of ‘elegant variation’ did you not understand, Rickert?”
So what’s your point ?
