So apparently there was a protest against the planned building of a mosque in an Australian town today.
Actual anti-mosque chant:
What do we want?
No mosque!
When do we want it?
Now!
Shouldn’t they add: “…and for the foreseeable future!”? I mean, aren’t the criteria already met? Should protest organisers be reading Heidegger’s Being and Time for future reference?
What do we want?
The “who” of that entity which exists “in the world”.
When do we want it?
Time reveals itself as the horizon of being!
Okay, I’ve never actually read Heidegger, but you get the idea.

actual car sticker seen today: What do we want? Eternity! When do we want it? That’s irrelevant.
On the one hand I want that to restore my faith in humanity. On the other hand, it is a bumper sticker… so conflicted!
