You can be sure the local people were not consulted, because many North Africans want NOTHING to do with mosques and islam, they moved to France to get away from that "stuff". And look at this:
"While Marseille's Muslim community is estimated at around 200,000 people - not all of whom practise their religion - the city's 62 places of worship provide room for only around 13,000 faithful"
So now they're going to have 63 mosques for 13,000. Just so that creep Gaudin can look like a bigshot. Jeez France is annoying sometimes. I knew one French guy, a bigshot editor, who told me that we should transform French churches into mosques!! I informed him that most churches here in France have floor plans in the form of a cross, he just looked at me, like HUH. What a dumbass! And no, he wasn't jewish. Just a lib/socialist/whatever. God, France ticks me off. Later
