GORDON Brown is under pressure to block a £75million "mega mosque", amid claims one of the suspected Glasgow Airport bombers belongs to the radical Islamic group behind it.
More than 200,000 people have signed a Downing Street petition calling on the Prime Minister to intervene over plans for the mosque near the Olympics site in east London.

The only thing I can say is this is an old piece of news. In fact a year old on 19th July 2008. And the link provided by Ros appears to be more of an Muslim blog because when you click on the link Christianity, instead of providing information about what is Christanity, he provides lots of news articles that damns Christianity or Judaism in order to promote Islam. I am very fond of reading about Christianity Islam Politics but not from one-sided people. I prefer to read from people who are a bit more understanding towards all kinds of people.
The petition was signed by thousands of people and a response by the government was posted last year on 19th July 2007. So really it is old hat and a now irrelevant article to post.

I don't see the harm in building a mosque. However, if the funds for this mosque are coming from a suspected terrorist group, then by all means, people should be alarmed and the government should investigate. But, I don't think its right to just not want a mosque built because you don't like muslims.

There is plenty of mosques in London, I don't think this is about liking Muslims. This particular mosque was a threat to even Muslims in the UK, they feared that radicals will intimidate and threaten them into their own ideology.

It seems as though large facilities and large congragations are the thing now.
Megachurch
Also called "big box churches"

What is the problem? I simply noted a fact that large facilities for worship is on the rise now. What is one sided about that, any more than some others comments here? A large Mosque is mentioned, so what is wrong with mentioning the fact that mega churches are also on the rise? The issue is related.
I see the issue as LARGE facilities for worship. I guess for some it is the fact that it is a mosque?....or....????
The Wahhabis have a lot of funds to use to build many things. They do not represent the mainstream of Islam, but their economic influence is out of proportion.
