Around 70 firefighters in 10 fire engines are battling the blaze at the Baitul Futuh Mosque in London Road.

People attending for prayers were evacuated from the building after the ground and first floors were hit.

Shocked onlookers gathered opposite the mosque, watching a dark plume of smoke billowing out of the building's roof, before they were ushered behind a police cordon.

Ambulance officials say one man has been taken to hospital with smoke inhalation but there are so far no other injuries reported.

Up to 10,000 people can fit inside the mosque but it is not known how many were in the building at the time.

Four incompetent British jihadists set out to train for and commit an act of terror.

“Sounds like they sent too many firefighters.
Like, 70.”

Actually, they didn’t send enough. They should have sent 72 female firefighters.

Answer: Under common interpretations of Islamic law, conventional insurance is forbidden in Islam.

Would Muslims seek a religious exemption if the purchase of insurance were required by law?

Many scholars criticise the system of conventional insurance as exploitative and unjust.

Islam is not a religion but a total society- with its own banking laws -all a part of Sharia - coming to a country near you thanks to spineless PC rulers.

A question I have often asked myself and simply cannot get an answer even using a search engine is this:

What is the ethnic origin of the hundreds of workmen engaged in the building of a London Mosque?

Are they the Tom, Dick and Harrys from the estate buildings? Are they non-muslims? Just curious as to how and if all the skills and varied trades are represented by non-muslims.

Let me take moment to feel bad about this ... Done. Moving on. When you teach jihadists within your "holy" buildings, you are bound to have a bad day now and then.

They contained the fire to the administrative buildings .

“Firefighters will now remain at the scene into the evening damping down the fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.”

The firemen had better be careful, those “religious materials” can be dangerous when they cook off.

Did the Firemen have to take their boots off? I believe as Chief I’d have soaked the surrounding area to prevent the spread, then told those ignorant barbarians “We don’t want to commit sacrilege in your armory.”

I’m not up to date with the muslim religion so forgive me for asking the following:
isn’t it against their religion, to wash, use water?
So if the firemen use water to put out the fire, wouldn’t the muslims be in an uproar?
