75% support for the ban on minarets in London Daily News poll
Londoners support the Swiss government’s decision to ban minarets and mosques according to a new poll in The London Daily News, further highlighting the "sensitivities" and concerns in the capital at the growing influence of Islam.
Callers to London's leading early morning radio show, the Nick Ferrari programme on LBC, also expressed their concerns with one caller citing how "out of character" a minaret would be if built in London.
London is the home to one of the largest number of mosques in the western world,apart from Turkey, with estimates putting the number at over one hundred. The "minaret" issue has become ever more controversial with the growth of Islamic extremism in the capital, and calls by a minority for Sharia law to be observed by all.
Harrow Council recently approved the building of the largest mosque in the capital, which will see Harrow Central Mosque serving Muslim worshippers from across north London when it is built on Station Road. Construction News in a report said:
"The designs include a 40m-high minaret, a gym, a crèche and a café within the 5,745 square metre developments. It is expected to open next year after Harrow Council approved changes to the original plans, which were passed in June 2000."
Increasingly London Muslims are demanding mosques to be built with traditional minarets, which reflect the liberal regime in place in the capital city. There are an estimated 1 million Muslims in London.
This may catch on!!
Good move, the Moops are trying to take over.
England has become the PC Capital of the world, so this is very good news.
Would we have the same nerve..I think not
Ping
One can only hope!
That's why the Brits will cave, and soon.
LOL
Hey! English!! It’s too late!! You have already lost your country.
“Drop your bombs between the minarets....down the Casbah way...”
“Londoners support calls to ban minarets in capital.”
But wouldn’t that involve an act of courage and resolve? I’ll excuse them in advance for not following through.
The UK is about 20 years too late.They now have a Stage IV-B case of Religion of Pieces and ridding herself of it would absolutely involve major bloodshed.
That's why the Brits will cave, and soon.
It is the London elite who would most fervently object to any ban on minarets or any decrease in Muslim immigration.
nothing catches fire like a bad idea.
Islam is not a religion. It is a political system mandating total submission to the state.
Atta boy....rock the Casbah with some bunker busters.
“Rock the casdbah! Rock the casbah!”
