London to have 100m SUPER Mosque?

The reason for the building of the mosque on that particular site seems to be more about publicity as it would dominate the skyline and be very visible during the 2012 Olympics.
The main objection i have is the fact that this particular branch of Islam preaches intolerance and the subservience of women. This is surely against everything the Uk stands for, many of our relatives fought and laid down their lives to protect those freedoms. Frankly treating women as anything but equals is completely wrong morally.
The other key part of the article is that the largest place of Christian worship holds 3000 people. The super mosque would accomodate 70,000. Think about that 70000. The capacity of Wembley is 90000.

Totally agree This is our country as british citizen's, our rules but this government lets immigrants virtually do as they like its about time they stood up to them and told them to play by the rules of this country not bow down to them.
When we get called "brits" we don't complain, but if you use another abbreviation for folk from another country you get arrested for a public disorder offence :shock: I know i've seen it happen.
there was one council that banned the word christmas had to be xmas for fear of upsetting other communities how daft is that?
Politically Correct ok, but its getting out of hand.

England was, certainly at one point, quite Pagan. :wink:
....then quite Roman Catholic.
Things change, nowt stays the same for ever. :wink:
On the subject of funding, in the links posted here, I couldn't find anything to suggest that the 'super-mosque' will be tax funded. If someone has found the evidence to point this out, then it would be interesting to read.

You're not sugesting we should all become muslims are you :shock:
What happened to a building falling into line with surrounding architecture?
I sometimes wish the Quakers had taken over this country. Their morals of keeping up the appearance of one's neighbourhood seem to have ruling over what happens to organisations that want to flex their muscle. Cadbury's to rule Birmingham I say :wink:

The same arguement was used agains the Lloyds building, and the Gherkin. And Canary wharf. And some of the older buildings, too (including many of the 'classical' buildings we now exonerate). Again, it's called progress. :wink:

They got Tesco's alcohol license overturned. :shock: So, you never know! :lol:
Now, I'm not suggesting that a 70k seater Mosque is a good idea. I'd just like to hear some more robust arguements as to why it's a bad idea.
Personally, I'd rather not see public money spent on football stadiums, millenium domes or olympic venues either, but thats just me! :wink:

eeyore as such i have no problem with the building of a huge place of worship. I think its the thin end of the wedge when they are preaching that everyone elses way of life is wrong and that the world should be turned Muslim.
Preaching that women are not equal to men and should be treated like cattle is wrong and goes against everything i personaly believe in.
so they are my objections, not that its a eye sore or it will do whatever to the area but that an organisation (its an orgainisation within Islam as there are many different teachings many of which view the world in totally oposing ways)that teaches that anyone disagreeing with them is the enemy is not a good thing.
