Locals in west Dublin have filed an appeal against plans for a large-scale mosque in the area, citing concerns the call to prayer would cause “noise pollution.”

The Fingal County Council granted planning permission for a mosque to the Shuhada Foundation of Ireland last month. The mosque, including a 95-foot-tall minaret, a community center, and a primary school is to be built on the site of Warrenstown House, in Blanchardstown.

Dr. Taufiq al-Sattar, a neurosurgeon in Dublin, pledged to build the mosque in memory of his late wife and three children who died in an arson attack in Leicester, England, in September 2013. […]

Patrick Regan, a former local resident now living in Ashbourne, County Meath, has appealed to An Bord Pleanála about the council’s decision. He said there has been “no interaction” with local residents about the project. […] “The call to pray can often start as early as 5.30 am and the last call to pray at 9 pm, causing noise pollution, with up to 150 worshipers attending at any one time during normal day prayers without the celebration of Ramadan and other social events.” …

Hitler and muslims worked together during WWII. Merkel is now following in Hitler’s footsteps.

Up the long ladder,
Down the short rope.
Three cheers for The Prophet,
To Hell with the Pope.

But they’ve grown militantly left over the last 30-40 years.

Funny...30 or 40 years is about how long they've been forced to bow to Brussels.

Well, if she had stayed in her home town of Gweedore, there’s a mosque 20 miles away in Letterkenny. Right now, her home is in Killiney, which is just south of Dublin city, and the closest mosque is in Bray, which is eight miles south.

“”build the mosque in memory of his late wife and three children who died in an arson attack in Leicester, England, in September 2013.””

And who does he suppose would do such a thing? Who has a history of such violence? Certainly no one who would worship at a mosque, right? Let him go to England and build his mosque - they wouldn’t mind. The government would probably pay the laborers to build it for him.

“”You might want to wait until they actually start the noise before complaining about it.””

You doubt it will happen? Why complain after the fact?
