Moscow, September 13, Interfax – About a thousand signatures against building of a mosque in Moscow district Tekstilschiki were collected during the action held on Saturday in the Volzhsky Boulevard.
Its organizers told an Interfax-Religion correspondent that majority of its participants were people of middle age and youth, totally about 500 people.
Residents of the district said that a mosque would make parking difficult and expect that future parishioners would display negative attitude to dogs as they are considered dirty animals in Islam.
According to the activists, earlier the authorities prohibited to build an Orthodox chapel here and explained their ban with the lack of communications at the site.
People have had enough...if they want an islam government they should go home
I suspect the Russians will have better luck than we’ve had in stopping this stuff.
Building the mosque was not the big thing. It was the muzzies demand that the city change its name to Mosqueow.
Letting the people decide?
What a novel idea.
Did their president - Putin - stand up in favor of it, too?
