So the Roxbury Crossing T stop now has a stylized mural-like thing of the nearby mosque and some people are upset:

As the photographer points out, the Boston public transportation system does not sport crosses, stars of David, or other religious insignia. How did this exception come about? One hopes that Bostonians are not so beat down by ISB litigiousness that they have lost all curiosity about that institution's activities.

Looks like Boston's not an Irish town anymore. This reminds of gang colors and insignia posted all over American buildings, roadways, etc., used as "turf markers."

Oy. I have no love for the the Jew-hating First Amendment deniers at the Islamic Society of Boston, but really, turf marking? Should criminals get outraged that Forest Hills station has a stylized iconish sign pointing to the nearby West Roxbury District Court?
