Here is the original comment being discussed:

Looming in the background is what looks like a huge, huge blue mosque under construction. I saw this after 9/11, but don't know exactly when this segment was filmed, but I saw that mosque and had a sense of how far London had gone toward accomodating Islam and my jaw hit the floor.

Now, what I wanted to know is how the (private) building of a mosque is "accomodating Islam". You can argue that the UK shouldn't allow mosque construction, but that is in no way accomodating or not accomodating islam.

(BTW, it was pointed out later that the building in question was not a mosque.)

I read the first few hundred posts and saw the picture. "ac·com·mo·da·tion (-km-dshn) n.

1. The act or state of adjustment or adaptation."

allowing the building a mosque sounds like accommodation to me.
