'Londonistan': Monster Mega Mosque Planned For London
Why is a monster mega mosque being built in London where a simple and small mosque currently stands? Importantly, where is the money to build it coming from?Some say it will be the biggest Islamic in-road into Christendom in 400 years: a gigantic mosque complex, the likes of which the West has never seen.
The group behind the development is called Tablighi Jamaat (meaning "proselytizing group" an association of Islamic fundamentalists whose aim is to spread their creed throughout the world), and it is known to have ties to al-Qaeda. The shoe bomber Richard Reid was associated with Tablighi Jamaat, as were two of the 7/7 bombers who struck London's public transport system in 2005. Much of the funding for the project is set to come from the Middle East, and so concerned are people about the proposals that even some moderate British Muslims have stated their opposition to the mosque being built and created a petition against it.
... Already England's capital city contains more mosques than any other in the Western world, and plans have been continuously rumored for an enormous modern Muslim complex which would create an Islamic village in London's East End.According to Pipeline News, Tablighi [also Tabligh] Jamaat originated in India but is active in Pakistan, and has long been involved in terrorism.... Although the mosque would dwarf many of England's Christian cathedrals, it is not the size of the proposals that is the main concern, but rather the group behind the proposed establishment.
The group has created spin off organizations including Harakat ul-Jihad-i Islami and Harakat ul-Mujahideen. which has conducted airline hijackings and mass murders.
... Middle east scholar Alex Alexiev calls TJ "wolves in sheep's clothing" quoting the FBI's Deputy Chief of International Terrorism who said there is "a significant presence of Tablighi Jamaat in the United States...and we have found that Al-Qaeda used them for recruiting now and in the past."The mega mosque brings British journalist and author Melanie Phillips' latest book, Londonistan, to mind. In her book she argues that Islamist terrorists and their sympathizers are using Britain's liberal and multicultural values to destroy it from within - and the British government is appeasing them in the process.... It is believed that London bombing kingpin Mohammad Sidique Khan, leader of the July 7 might have been associated with Tablighi Jamaat.
...Quoting from an investigative piece by MSNB:
"If al-Qaida needed a fresh set of bodies in order to pull an operation, one of the places that they would go to for that fresh set of bodies would be Tablighi Jamaat, whether it's in the United States or not," says former FBI agent Steve Denny, who has investigated members of Tablighi."This makes it all the more surprising that the Blair government would be so tolerant of such a huge potential terror risk.Not only are American security officials highly suspicious of the group behind the new mosque, but so are members of London's Muslim community:
Dr Irfan al-Alawi, Chairman of the Muslim Heritage Foundation opposes the building of the mosque, saying it is an obvious security risk.
"I think, yes. Once the youth have been brainwashed, and been captured by the satanic ideology of the Tablighis, yes, it will come as a very hard-hitting movement...The person who is really behind it is Ken Livingstone," al-Alawi said." [source CBN news ]
Livingstone is the notorious "Red Ken" the anti-Semitic mayor of London and his support of this monstrosity is indicative of the still growing unholy alliance between the left and the Islamists.

Why oh why is Red Ken supporting this nightmare? Even the moderate Muslims are worried.

What I can't figure out is how Red Ken gets reelected. Also, doesn't the government know at least as much about this group as we bloggers and blog readers do?
One would think that red flags would be going up all over town and the Brits would be up in arms.

I am appalled that despite hints at a link to several known terrorist organisation this is even bing considered. What is it going to take before this country wakes up to tiself and realises we are becoming more like a Muslim country everyday. Can not believe my eyes.

Why other people are so scared obout that mosque,and why they are behaving like a mouse. At once they claim that they advocating complete freedom but on the other hand they want to stop muslims at every step.Terrorism never grow in mosque but in mind which nobody can stop.

Why is the ignorant and shortsigted Ken Livingstone even considering allowing this Mosque to be built? Doesn't he think we have been infiltrated enough?! I am non religion but I reserve the right to hold on to English tradition and not have outsiders coming in and trying to take over in every way. We are far too lenient in this country and the people who sit in the seats of power are too short sighted not looking at the bigger picture. Why the hell should they be allowed to build a bigger religious building than St Pauls, what are they saying? apart from 'look at how important Islam is in this country now' well it isn't important to me and probably not to the majority of people in London who will have to look at it every day. Why do we always have to make allowances? Would they welcome a huge Cathedral being built in their country...I think not. If this is allowed to go ahead then someone somewhere must be getting a serious back hander and probably isn't bothered about repercussions, cos there will be some. This Is ENGLAND!!! For English people! fed up with bloody foreigners trying to take over. I am not alone in my thoughts ask the forum!

People are not afraid of the mosque but absolutely fed up of being treated the way we are in our own country. It seems that our thoughts and feelings don't count. What you are finding is this government is creating Racists out of people who were very tolerant of each other. A very angry and frustrated society is being born eventually there will be so much unrest that even peace loving Muslims who would not hurt a fly will be despised because they will be grouped as all the same. It seems that it is a very good time to be a Foreigner in this country and don't they know it! We are exploited in every way, afraid to say anything because we may be labelled as a Racist. I am not against any colour or creed but am against the English person being down trodden in their own country.

Interstingly, on this day of yet another bomb plot - in this case in front of the Tiger Tiger nightclub, I actually heard more than one analyst on TV blame Ken Livingston for much of the Islamist problem in London.

This is England today. How can we allow the building of edifices to a sect we fought since early Mediaeval times ?
Posted by: B.Oakes at July 12, 2007 7:54 AM
Allowing Tablighi Jamaat to even exist in the country is like inviting in a Trojan Horse to propagate Islamists. Muslims and non-Muslims alike should be alarmed and angry at the government for not outlawing the organization and the mosque construction in the first place.
As for Bill's comments, he seems to be trying to get a message across, and it's a damn good idea.
