As someone who has done development in both languages. I find that the issue here is not which language to learn but learning of Object-Oriented concepts.
Putting prejudices which both communities have against each other aside. The best which you can do is choose the course that teaches you Object Oriented concepts the best and not go into language specific details.
In the end, its the concepts that you want to grasp. Later on in life, should you choose to develop in either language, you are able to apply those concepts.
i.e. Python, Ruby, Smalltalk, Simula also have Object Oriented concepts.:)
