Imam Livingstone, I Presume? [Mosque Seating 10,000 Proposed for 'Muslim Village' in London]

The Islamic movement Tablighi Jamaat (proselytizing group) wants to build a mosque in East London for up to 10,000 people, part of an "Islamic Village" for the London Olympics of 2012. Tablighi Jamaat is on the fundamentalist side of the Islamic spectrum and has links with Wahabism. It is based in Pakistan, where for a Muslim to convert to Christianity is a capital offense. The Mosque and surrounding buildings will ultimately accommodate 70,000 visitors.

What happens after the Olympics is another matter, but what seems on the cards is a permanent Muslim city in the heart of London -- which already has large Muslim areas and a complex of mosques in the Finsbury Park area. There are well over a thousand, many of them converted Anglican churches.

THE MOSQUE IS INTENDED TO BE A NEW "Islamic Landmark" in Britain. Comparable in size to Saint Paul's Cathedral, it will dominate a great area of the London skyline and be massively illuminated at night. One way of putting this in perspective is to ask what the chances are of establishing a cathedral or synagogue with accommodation around for 70,000 Christians or Jews in Saudi Arabia.

Following Pope Benedict's controversial lecture the website Little Green Footballs published pictures of Muslims outside Westminster Cathedral (London's Catholic cathedral) waving placards including "Islam Will Conquer Rome," and "May Allah Curse the Pope" and chanting: "Pope Benedict you will pay, the Mujahadeen are coming your way." On the fifth anniversary of 9/11 the general secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain -- which the government recognizes as the leading voice of British Muslims -- Dr. Muhammad Abdul Bari, claimed that if "demonization" of Muslims continued, "then Britain will have to deal with two million [sic] Muslim terrorists, 700,000 of them in London."
