Mega-Mosque With 4 Times The Capacity Of St Paul's Cathedral Planned In
London
Londonistan.

Via Indian Express:



A 10,000-capacity 'mega-mosque', which will be the size of Battersea Power
Station, has been planned for West Ham, near the Olympic Park in east
London.

The mosque will hold four times as many worshippers as St Paul's Cathedral,
have an Islamic library, sports facilities and eight flats for visiting
clerics.

Architects have described the mosque as a 'contemporary Islamic sacred space'.

The plan has been submitted by Tablighi Jamaat, a Muslim missionary movement
once described as an ''ante-chamber of fundamentalism''.

According to the Daily Mail, critics have, however, pointed to the fact it
could create a hard-line Islamic enclave in the capital, as the group
preaches 'segregation and separation'.

Alan Craig, campaign director of MegaMosque-NoThanks, said: "The mosque
trustees say they want to build a mosque the size of Battersea Power
Station. Either way, it will be the UK's first custom built
Sharia-controlled zone."

The group, however, maintains that its main objective of building the mosque
is for peaceful missionary work, the report said.

A spokesman for Anjuman-E-Islahul-Muslimeen of London UK Trust, Tablighi
Jamaat's charitable trust and the site's owner, has previously said: "The
door is always open and we are happy to meet and discuss in depth our
proposals."
