Imam Livingstone, I Presume? [Mosque Seating 10,000 Proposed for 'Muslim Village' in London]
The American Spectator ^ | September 22, 2006 | Hal G.P. Colebatch

Posted on 09/21/2006 10:03:40 PM PDT by TaxachusettsMan

The Islamic movement Tablighi Jamaat (proselytizing group) wants to build a mosque in East London for up to 10,000 people, part of an "Islamic Village" for the London Olympics of 2012. Tablighi Jamaat is on the fundamentalist side of the Islamic spectrum and has links with Wahabism. It is based in Pakistan, where for a Muslim to convert to Christianity is a capital offense. The Mosque and surrounding buildings will ultimately accommodate 70,000 visitors.

What happens after the Olympics is another matter, but what seems on the cards is a permanent Muslim city in the heart of London -- which already has large Muslim areas and a complex of mosques in the Finsbury Park area. There are well over a thousand, many of them converted Anglican churches.

THE MOSQUE IS INTENDED TO BE A NEW "Islamic Landmark" in Britain. Comparable in size to Saint Paul's Cathedral, it will dominate a great area of the London skyline and be massively illuminated at night. One way of putting this in perspective is to ask what the chances are of establishing a cathedral or synagogue with accommodation around for 70,000 Christians or Jews in Saudi Arabia.

Following Pope Benedict's controversial lecture the website Little Green Footballs published pictures of Muslims outside Westminster Cathedral (London's Catholic cathedral) waving placards including "Islam Will Conquer Rome," and "May Allah Curse the Pope" and chanting: "Pope Benedict you will pay, the Mujahadeen are coming your way." On the fifth anniversary of 9/11 the general secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain -- which the government recognizes as the leading voice of British Muslims -- Dr. Muhammad Abdul Bari, claimed that if "demonization" of Muslims continued, "then Britain will have to deal with two million [sic] Muslim terrorists, 700,000 of them in London."

Won't be long before they agitate for an independent state in England.

What a stupid idea, this village with mosque.

Perhaps there WON'T always be an England?

These days I feel like I'm trapped in a history book. I'm watching the fall of England and Europe.

Oh, I was hoping you were feeling better!

Seriously, I just don't understand WHY they have allowed their Country to be taken over...but then again, it is happening here as well.

Could all England again return to Sept 1939, and Winnie again walk among the rubble of London the vast majority of real Londoners would more profusely count their great blessings of even that difficult moment----and lift their voices heavenward in eternal praise of that they had escaped--the unabated internal scourge of but six decades later.

Dauntless, Courageous, Hood, Hurricanes and Spitfires are now but rusted relics or deep in sleep in mud bottom beds. A great civilization and its own memory has vanished--a people defeated on their own land in their own homes from the beach line at Dover to the far northern islands. So it was and so it is no more. Defeated by their own fears, their own reluctances they surrendered the very future of their children to the mad mullahs of hate.

Thank-you for the lantern you once were to all of mankind. If there is a future history, what was will be respected for the character your population once displayed in a dark time for the world.

God save the Queen, and all her dominions.

As an aussie whose government has clearly told the muzzies 'if you don't want to assimmilate and embrace the Australian way of life, perhaps you are in the wrong country' ... I admit, I do not understand what's happening in the US or UK.

(Oh yes I do. On second thoughts, the marxists in Oz are very thin on the ground and have very little power.)

Destroy the DemocRATic Party. Exterminate exterminate exterminate exterminate...

I'm not feeling better...just very very angry!

Go back to bed and feel better, Fred. I'm angry enough for the both of us. What's going on with the UN in MY Country this week has pushed me to the limit.

I just found this little gem. Think I might attack my computer with a brick!

London Needs 2,000 More Muslim Police—Commissioner

AR Articles on Britain


Kuwaiti News Agency, June 23


LONDON, June 23 (KUNA)—London needs another 2,000 Muslim police officers, Britain’s most senior police officer said Thursday.

London Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair also defended the rise in stop and search of Muslim suspects and said they would continue.

In an interview with the “Muslim News” newspaper, Sir Ian said “What I really need is more Muslim police officers.

“We’ve got 200 to 300 members in the Muslim Police Association. I want as many as I can get.

“If something like one-in-nine Londoners is a Muslim than I want one-in-nine police officers to be a Muslim. Which means we are currently 2,000 short.” Sir Ian said that, while only “small numbers” of British Muslims are stopped and searched, it was a “very uncomfortable time” for the community.

Figures released last February showed that the number of searches under the UK Terrorism Act 2000 rose 36 percent to 29,400 in 2003/04.

Of these, 12.5 percent involved Asians, even though they make up just 4.7 percent of the population in England and Wales.

Sir Ian said “The percentages are actually involving numbers less than 10 people a day out of a Muslim population of 700,000 and a million in London. Ten people a day are relatively a small number.

“I accept totally it’s a cause of concern in the Muslim community.” “On the other hand, among the different human rights there are, the most significant human right is not to be murdered.” “A very small number of stops and searches that we do, I’m afraid we’re going to continue,” he added.

Sir Ian insisted there was still a “credible” terrorist threat and that a number of British-born Muslims were in custody with major trials yet to take place.

He said “The intelligence reports that I see and my colleagues and security services see tell us that there is a credible threat.” “There is clear evidence of people reconnoitring, moving money around, there’s lots of stuff on email and the internet.”—“I suppose I’d rather be accused of saying there’s too much of a threat than appearing to be complacent … It’s my job to get people to be alert, not alarmed.” Earlier this year his predecessor Sir John Stevens claimed there are possibly more than 200 al Qaida-trained terrorists walking the streets of Britain.

Sir Ian said “If the issue is how many people do we believe went to the terrorist training camps in Afghanistan who were either resident in or born in Britain, then that figure is about right.” “That doesn’t mean, of course, that they’ve all came back as converts.” Sir Ian said “the jury is out” on whether his officers would start to record the religion of stop and search suspects.

“It’s an ongoing debate … My own view is that pragmatically, I’m not persuaded, this seems a very intrusive question to me,” the Metropolitan Police Commissioner concluded.
