A New �100million Mosque in East London ?

[whiffey]

What an excellent idea !!!

Good Old Britain. PC to the last breath.

Oh no. Off on a tangent again. This time the Alton Towers issue is reached for with the same glorious anticipation as a child reaching for the cookie jar.
Mosques - that is, or rather, was - the theme of this thread. Not immigration. Not the typical race of the average paedophile. Not theme parks hiring out their premises to this-group or that-group. How on earth can you confuse the issues?

But hey! If it suits you to see that that's the issue being debated - faster pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Neither was it about

1) 7/7 Terrorist attacks

naz_nomad - "At least it'll be something new to blow up .... better than a tube station"

2) Revolution

nantyboy - "Open you eyes Waldo, slowly but surely the Islamists are taking over this once great country of ours. "

3) WW2 and general misunderstanding thereof

ENGINEER1973 - "Wheres winston churchill when you need him, im sorry but my dads brother didnt goto war and sit in a rat infested trench in korea and fight for this country for all the free riders"

4) American Pop-country rock bands :P

ENGINEER1973 - "Does it have a secret clan , with a doctor hook lol "

I would of stayed on topic - if previous posters had done aswell, but when people dangerously through around some of the issues i've listed above - what the f**k, I will do it to.

And if you look back to my post about Alton Towers, you will read that I used the Muslim Fun Day as a sort of factual simile, making a point about general down-right ignorance towards the majority of Muslims in the UK who are not the waging any sort of way and just want to live their lives worshipping a God named Allah, not Wayne F**king Rooney.

NikkiB, I don't see the Globe theatre mentioned in the question either, but this didn't stop you introducing it in order to talk nonsense about it. So you have no cause to criticise others for going beyond the remit of the question, have you?

Privately funded Mosques.......privately funded arms........privately funded terrorists........live and let live, but reap the rewards of doing and saying nothing!! Go to an average Islamic country and set up a Christian place of worship and see how long it stands.....but fear not, listen to the PC do gooders, sit back and watch this country go down the chubes.........then winge when the British Army fights to retain it.........winge from the sidelines, I doubt if any of them will be fighting for their country. Freedom of religious expression an age old British cornerstone!! Let's go to a stoning of some poor virgin who has been raped and thus brought shame on her family. Better still, let's have it outside your house, I'll bring the beer.....OOPS, no, alcohol, that would be offensive!!!!!!!!

Stop using the f**king "Establish a Christian Church in another country" argument unless you have ACTUALLY tried it. A *real* church is a social term, a gathering of worshippers and not a building like the Arsenal merchandise shop which to many of you brain-dead bulldogs, is your true spiritual home.

The people who actually are missionaries count for a very small minority and some of them are out in predominately Muslim countries such as Algeria, Libya & Chad - providing and establishing things like health care, orphanages and school systems and not necessarily preaching the gospel. That must be quite hard to deal with - Your Christian brothers helping all those little Muslim children.

Setting up a Christian Church in another country must be a good oppurtunity and an exciting adventure when you've got the backing of the major mission organizations so why don't you all f**k off, try it and when it doesn't work I might listen to you.

Why not try posting in a calm frame mind? Judging by your appalling language, which you obviously resort to when your debating skills are lacking, you are clearly in a rage. Effing this and effing that. How polite and mature.
What on earth are you talking about when you go on about the differences between "churches" and missionary groups? Applied to the Why-Can't-We-Build-Churches-In-Islamic-Countries, your sentences, I'm afraid to say, amount to utter nonsense. Christian churches, ie buildings, are not permitted in many Islamic countries. I think our mutual friend was suggesting that. Other Islamic nations actually levy a tax on non-muslims or insist that they worship out of sight in case they corrupt (sic) a Muslim. That to me is intolerant. So until Islamic countries can show the same courtesy that Christian countries show to Muslims, I think the Why-Can't-We-Build-Churches-In-Islamic-Countries is highly relevant. Going into the intricacies of missionary work have no more to do with the issue than purple-bottomed pixies. TOLERANCE OF RELIGION SHOULD NOT BE A ONE-WAY STREET.
Yours, in utter amazement.

Well, I've posted calmly and you are refusing to respond to me, NikkiB, so it's clear you're more attracted by swearing, as abelmanmoth has realised. But I'd still like to hear how on earth you can claim that Islam bans performing arts and elections, and how you can make such claims and still criticise others for going beyond the question.
