Rice had been scheduled to visit a mosque in the city until the invitation was withdrawn on Wednesday. No one at the Masjid al Hidayah mosque was available for comment but the Foreign Office confirmed the cancellation, saying it was a pity.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), the largest lobby group for the country's 1.6 million Muslims, said there was widespread opposition to U.S. foreign policy and Rice's visit.

"This particular U.S. administration has upset many Muslims in the UK and around the world ... so it is not particularly surprising that the visit to a Blackburn mosque has had to be canceled," MCB spokesman Inayat Bunglawala said.

I am more than happy for her to visit my house.

Why does she want to visit a Mosque anyway.

Someone needs to explain to Ms. Rice that what she is seeing in England are the results of stupid immigration policies.

Then maybe she could tell her boss...
