LONDON — Disputes over mosques have broken out across Europe. Residents from Belgium to France to Germany have expressed unease at minarets competing in the urban landscape with the spires and stones of centuries-old cathedrals.
But the fight raging over an abandoned lot in London’s East End is of an altogether grander scale. A large and secretive Islamic sect proposed building what would have been the largest mosque in Europe, smack at the gateway to the 2012 Olympic Games, and within sight of London’s financial district.
That plan was sent back to the drawing board to be scaled down, but not before raising a furor of equal size and discomforting questions about the right of Britain’s Muslims to take up a public space commensurate with their growing numbers.
This summer on the Web site of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, more than 250,000 critics of the proposed mosque supported a petition initiated...
In Newham, the borough where the mosque would stand, Alan Craig, the leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance Party in the East End, started a one-man campaign against the mosque a year ago that has grown and gained national prominence...But now he focuses on its sponsor, Tablighi Jamaat, a worldwide evangelical Islamic group based in Pakistan with millions of followers that professes to encourage Muslims to be more loyal to their faith.
American and European law enforcement officials say Tablighi Jamaat’s simple message masks a fertile recruiting ground for terrorists. Two of the suicide bombers who attacked the London transit system in July 2005 had attended Tablighi Jamaat gatherings, British security officials said...
Mr. Craig said...“They refer to us as kafir,” a term of contempt, he added. “That’s not what we need. We don’t want this mosque in East London. It will be disastrous.”...

The mosque in Plano, Texas (of all places) has a fence, and a sign out front that reads “Humanity First”. What a laugh that was - their stupid rules trample down humanity!
Whoa bouy - ominous.
Build a warehouse for weapons, call it a mosque - and it's off limits for inspection =- build in strategic locations around the country = and one day, all hell will break loose.
Better armor up before the Socialists take away our guns
Beware of people who have a “big building” complex. Hitler was the same way.
It's fictional piece of work he wrote in '06 I think.
Multiculturalism and diversity are such wonderful ways to dispel tradition. The Mosque is not a CHURCH they are SCHOOLS...with prayer rooms...mainly TEACHING goes on. They are like colleges or universities.
Time to simply outlaw them. The religion of Islam is not compatible with any W. European or American heritage, culture, trends, language, and religious forebearers. Oh I know, the ACLU will go wild and the Left in Europe, always willing to surrender, will scream. But, time is short for national survival. Americans are wussies and will be afraid to admit this. But, Western Europe and the USA better do it or risk complete destruction from within. Legal Muslim citizens can worship in their homes or warehouses as many churches do, ala Calvary Chapel and or the Vineyard. But, Super Mosques with their fanatical imans, stop them cold.
Build a Cathedral in Down Town Riyadh,Saudi Arabia or destroy every Mohammed out house in the West, time to stop pretending, the islamic saracens hates your guts.
When will you wake up out of your stupid mode
Post a picture and an address please.
And how would you like the 1st Amendment reworded?
“Better armor up before the Socialists take away our guns.”
Do not surrender your guns. Once disarmed, one is nothing but a slave in training.
The future?
The rest, I hope not.
“And how would you like the 1st Amendment reworded?”
You don’t. You make the hard but necessary choice to kick islam out of America for being overwhelmingly hostile to American national interests. We either do that, or allow the horrific cancer that is islam to take root and metastasize. Really, those are the only two possible outcomes, because islam does not compromise or accommodate, as such considerations are fatal to islam’s survival.
Keep up the good work
All the best

“Feds Recommend Closing Saudi School in Va.
Federal Panel Recommends Closing Saudi School in Va. to Ensure It’s Not Nurturing Radicalism”
[The report also criticizes the school’s administrative structure, saying it is little more than an offshoot of the Saudi Embassy, with the Saudi ambassador to the United States serving as chairman of the school’s board of directors. The structure “raises serious concerns about whether it is in violation of a U.S. law restricting the activities of foreign embassies.”
After the Sept. 11 attacks, critics questioned the nature of the religious education at the Saudi academy. The school again found itself in the spotlight in 2005, when a former class valedictorian, Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, was charged with joining al-Qaida while attending college in Saudi Arabia and plotting to assassinate President Bush.
Abu Ali was convicted in federal court and sentenced to 30 years in prison. He is appealing his conviction.]
