A radical Islamic group has applied for a permit to build one of the largest mosques in the world, in London.
The East London super-mosque, known as the Abbey Mills Riverine Center, would hold up to 10,000 worshippers. It would be the largest religious building in Britain and the largest mosque in Europe.
By comparison, Britain's largest cathedral, the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool, can hold no more than 3,000 worshippers, and St. Paul's Cathedral, one of the iconic features of the London skyline, has a capacity of 2,500.
The 16-acre site near the Olympic Village in West Ham in the London Borough of Newham would include two 40-foot minarets, an Islamic library, a dining hall, tennis courts, sports facilities, eight apartments for visiting Muslim clerics and hundreds of parking spaces ...
Much of the funding for the super-mosque, which will cost an estimated £100 million ($160 million), is expected to come from Saudi Arabia.
The project to build a "contemporary Islamic sacred space" is so massive in scale that critics believe the mega-mosque is actually a smokescreen for an ambitious plan to establish a hardline Islamic enclave in East London.

And what goes on in mosques here? My guess is same thing.
In an irony that says much about the sad state of British multiculturalism, just a mile from where the mosque is due to go up, the Kingsway International Christian Centre, was demolished in 2007 on orders of the City of London to make way for the Olympic stadium.
Five years later, the British government has still not given the church permission to build a new worship center on a new site.
Western countries are so ripe for domination by Islam. The Muslims have already discovered how gutless the Western people are in resisting PC and multi-culturism.

Decision Not to Rebuild Church Destroyed on 9/11 Surprises Greek Orthodox Leaders
Greek Orthodox leaders trying to rebuild the only church destroyed in the Sept. 11 terror attacks expressed shock this week after learning, via Fox News, that government officials had killed a deal to relocate the church.
The St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, once a tiny, four-story building in the shadows of lower Manhattan, was destroyed in 2001 by one of the falling World Trade Center towers. Nobody from the church was hurt in the attack, but the congregation has, for the past eight years, been trying to rebuild its house of worship.
Though talks between the church and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey stalled last year, church leaders say they’ve been trying to kick-start discussions ever since. But amid debate over whether a proposed Islamic community center should go forward near Ground Zero, government officials threw cold water on the prospect of any deal with the church — telling Fox News the deal is off the table.
THEY ARE MAKING THE WEST FEEL NERVOUS ONLY BECAUSE THE WEST IS NOT MAKING THEM FEEL NERVOUS AND UNWELCOME. Embrace hostility.

Wow! The mosque in District of Criminals can only seat 6,000 jihad-loving Muzzies!
Call me paranoid, but I believe it all falls into the “last days” of the bible.
Islam is building camps (a.k.a mosques) around the world so that when they decide to conquer the Christian world we will be outnumbered. It’ll be convert or die.
And I don’t lump all muslims into this pot.
