Exactly. If a country in Europe was placing restrictions on the building of synagogs specifically all you’d hear in this thread is about the anti-semistism of the euro-liberal.
Crap.
No mosques have been banned. Just minarets. A synagogue that wanted to build itself a replica of the First Temple in Lyons would probably not get very far, either. Little matter of blending in. Which synagogues tend to do, here and in Europe.
This is about architecture, not religion.
