A MASSIVE mosque that will hold 40,000 worshippers is being proposed beside the Olympic complex in London to be opened in time for the 2012 Games.
The project’s backers hope the mosque and its surrounding buildings would hold a total of 70,000 people, only 10,000 fewer than the Olympic stadium. Its futuristic design features wind turbines instead of the traditional minarets, while a translucent latticed roof would replace the domes seen on most mosques. The complex is designed to become the “Muslim quarter” for the Games, acting as a hub for Islamic competitors and spectators.
“It will be something never seen before in this country. It is a mosque for the future as part of the British landscape,” said Abdul Khalique, a senior member of Tablighi Jamaat, a worldwide Islamic missionary group that is proposing the mosque as its new UK headquarters.
Tablighi Jamaat has come under scrutiny from western security agencies since 9/11. Two years ago, according to The New York Times, a senior FBI anti-terrorism official claimed it was a recruiting ground for Al-Qaeda. British police investigated a report that Mohammad Sidique Khan, leader of the July 7 London bombers, had attended its present headquarters in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. In August, Bavaria expelled three members of the organisation on the grounds that it promoted Islamic extremism.
Defenders of Tablighi Jamaat say that it is not political and confines itself to humanitarian work. It was founded in India under the British Raj and has many members in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The east London complex would have by far the largest capacity of any religious building in Britain. The biggest at present is the Baitul Futuh in Morden, Surrey, which holds about 10,000 worshippers. Liverpool’s Anglican cathedral, the largest Christian place of worship, has a capacity of 3,000.
The new building will be called the London Markaz (Arabic for centre) and will be built in place of an existing mosque on a 10-acre site 500 yards from the Olympic development.
The three-storey mosque will be designed to accommodate more than 40,000 worshippers. Its sweeping roof is intended to evoke tented cities. The complex would include a garden, school, library and accommodation for visiting worshippers.
Islamic calligraphy would cover the walls and ceilings, the washing areas would have cascading water to mimic a stream, and the complex’s buildings would be adapted to allow extra worshippers during festivals such as Eid, accommodating a further 30,000 visitors.
Ali Mangera, the London and Barcelona-based architect who is designing the mosque, said: “People in this country build mosques with fake domes and plastic minarets to look like the mosques back home. Islam has traditionally been at the forefront of technology and change. The Markaz will reflect this. It will be more than a mosque. The whole idea behind it is to break down barriers.”
Mangera has previously worked with leading British architects including Zaha Hadid, designer of the Cardiff opera house. Mangera and Tablighi Jamaat are in negotiations with Newham council, the Greater London Authority and the Thames Gateway Development Corporation for planning permission.
Sunil Sahadevan, a planning officer at Newham council, said: “We are working towards the mosque application with the organisers and discussions are ongoing. The application will be finalised over the next year.”
It is estimated that the project would cost more than £100m and donations are being sought from Britain and abroad.
Why don't they just let the Muslims take over Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London too? Also, may I suggest Queen Elizabeth II step down to make room for Sultan Abu-Musa al-Zarqawi to ascend to the throne of England while they are at it.
“The number of illegal aliens flooding into the US this year will total 3 million - enough to fill 22,000 Boeing 727-700 airliners, or 60 flights every day for a year.”
Thank you very much President Bush for closing the borders and protecting our country from foreign invasion! /sarcasm still on.
Take a muslim home for lunch. Get to know them. We can't judge their religion by the number of people they've murdered by one way or another.
Give them a chance, but never offer them a sausage sandwich or give them a pigskin wallet.
"This is the second map published by Steve Emerson. The Mosque's are popping up faster then a map can be made."
The stuff i mention is going back to the 9/11 plot, his map is obviously incomplete.
I guess this is the beast in revelation.. all goverments on earth sleeping with her.. and the UN is the pimp

Heck, let's parade our home-grown mosques as well.
Here's a link to writer Paul Sperry's "Wahhabi Corridor" in the
D.C.-Virginia area:

Yeah ... I especially like the 2006 model of the double humped camel being introduced by the Al Maquari Abu Mohammad Bin Awari tribe warlord.
Don't build it, Britain. It will be your coffin.
Do not build it, and maybe they will not come.
Blame our own government for inviting the enemies to live here. Our Dhimwit pols are putting all our necks at risk
Target-rich environment.
Since when? Certainly not in the last 800 years.
Civilization is in full retreat.
Lets' see them build special quarters as "hubs" for Christians and Jews as well, otherwise this is appeasement and just feeds the muslim's already inflated sense of entitlement. I know it's stupid to ask why this exists, I know why - the muslims know that if they demand it, the Brits will shrink back in fear and give it to them. Hell, they've banned piggy banks, for God's sake, in that crazy, misbegotten country.
The England I lived in during 1978-80 is gone, R.I.P. Glad I got to see it before it went sharia.
England has lost it's collective mind.
We should start making plans now to move all Christian monuments and artwork out now, because the Muslims don't like our kind of art, or religious buildings, they tend to tear them down and put up their own garish, ugly stuff. Stonehenge might survive, but it'll be covered in Arabic writing.
I expect Big Ben, Parlaiment and Buckingham Palace to be replaced by minarets withing ten years.
Thanks for that link. Sure are a lot of them, isn't there!
