I meant that the Liberal elements here and elsewhere will be the first to demand coalition forces lay off Mosques. Even though, the Liberals here constantly abuse the rule themselves regarding churches. They will want to have it both ways. Use churches with impunity here AND demand that coalition forces permit the same abuses of the rule in Iraq. That's all.

Note that the mosque wasn't attacked for being a mosque; it was attacked for being a fort. Similarly for Monte Cassino (although in that case, the Germans weren't using it but later used the rubble.) The allies later rebuilt Monte Cassino. Similar reasoning applied to the Indian Army siege of the Golden Temple at Amritsar.
