...because Religion causes enough shit without a mega-mosque being built. It will just attract trouble for people inthe area of which I'm one. I do not believe in organised religion and whether you like it or not this is a majorityanglo-christian country. I have no problem with the majority saying theydon't like it because I'd bet my bottom dollar that ifone was being built in Jamaica many of us would beasking why a mega-building is being built for aminor religion in the country.

There's no place for a mega-mosque in London just like there's no place for a mega-Church in Saudi Arabia.I doubt a Christian would ever even jokingly suggest the Arabs build a mega-Church in Saudi because it will never happen and nobody would expect it to. Everything was better in the 90s when peoplebasically kept their religion to themselves, now I can't seem to move without hearing about Islam. Theres also a mosque near me and every non-muslim is made to feel pretty much unwelcome in the neighbourhood by the pakistani'son fridays at lunchtime when theyhold their biggest prayer. Anyway why do the mosques all have to be in East London?

Also if a religious place did have to be built on the Olympic site, then I think less people would have a problem if it was somehow designed to accomdate all faiths, why only Islam, are there onlyMuslims in East London?

Please explain why East London needs a mega-mosque without saying that it we need it because the BNP hate it.

You still havent said why you object tthe proposed mosque in East London

[size=Work has begun on the construction of Qatar's first purpose-built church in the desert outside Doha, the country's capital.][/size]

Although the country's native inhabitants are entirely Muslim - and are prohibited by law from converting to another faith - the new Catholic church will cater to the large number of Christian migrants who have come to the Arabia Gulf state in search of work.



Roman Catholics from all over the Arabian Peninsula - many of them migrant workers - are helping to pay for the $15m building, which is scheduled to open at the end of the year.

Overseeing the church is Paul Hinder, the Catholic Church's Bishop of Arabia. A Christian in the heart of the Muslim world, his diocese is the entire Arabian peninsular, encompassing six countries.

He oversees churches in Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen and even in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam where Christianity is practiced behind closed doors.

Speaking about the Christian communities in Saudi Arabia, he said: "It's not an open church. Privately the Christians may gather in their houses in a very discreet manner."

"Of course it's not easy to be a bishop here [in the Gulf]," he said. "But at least regarding the church life it is full of vitality."

There is one set of people that I don't mess with and thats the Muslim asians/arabs...I think they should have this mosque built, who is it harming? If you look at religion today, white British people are not attending church as they used to, however the Asians who are faithful to their religion do.

The BNP needs to be more concerned with asking Tony Blair why the poverty gap is widening for working/under class whites.

The Times reports that instead of the government combating this evident Islamophobia, it has instead issued a statement shifting responsibility onto the local council.

It is my opinion that since the government ends it response by recommending that “all involved should ensure that discussions are conducted in a manner that respects the views of all sections of our communities and in a way that does not raise tensions in local areas�, then it should not be recognising a petition that condemns the creation of a Mega Mosque as something that “will only cause terrible violence and suffering�. On this basis the government’s hypocritical perspective is condoning the increasing Islamophobia.

We Must fight this and not be dictated to by the far right.

Accordingly, it is the duty of evey British citizen to sign the petition to BUILD the ‘Mega Mosque’ because “it would show how tolerant we are of other religions to build a large Mosque for people to worship at. Those who say that it would incite violence give not only Christians, but a large part of England, a bad name. So I urge you to sign this petition, whatever your religion, as long as you believe in tolerance.�

Sign the petition to build the ‘Mega Mosque’.

jamal786 - it is completely inadequate to decide on your political positions simply by saying "if they are for it then we are against it, and vivce versa". This means that the people you say that you oppose (a small nationalist party) are effectively deciding your policy. What about if the BNP say they oppose the growth of the giant supermarket chains (which they do)? Would you start campaigning for Tesco and Sainsbury? Think for yourself.

The organisations behind this mosque are supremacists. They want to dwarf other religions, not co-exist. This is a show of power in my opinion - plain and simple.
