Islamic sect refused permission to build mega-mosque with four times the capacity of St Paul's Cathedral By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 03:58 GMT, 6 December 2012 \| UPDATED: 16:41 GMT, 6 December 2012 Comments (445) Share A missionary Islamic sect has been denied permission to build a controversial mega-mosque with four times the capacity of St Paul's Cathedral, it was announced today. The Tablighi Jamaat group saw its plan to build the 9,000-capacity venue in West Ham, east London, rejected by members of Newham Borough Council at a planning meeting. If permission had been granted, Abbey Mills Mosque - also known as the Riverine Centre - would have become one of the biggest Islamic centres in Britain and western Europe. Rejected: The design of the so-called mega-mosque earmarked for east London was submitted in 2006 and included plans to hold around 10,000 worshippers Tablighi Jamaat currently uses part of the six-hectares Abbey Mills site to house the London Markaz, also referred to as Masjid-e-Ilyas, a temporary hub which can host up to 2,500 people. But councillors heeded recommendations from the council's officers to reject expansion on the former by Text-Enhance">industrial land, amid strong opposition and concern about the project. More... The mega mosque! Muslim place of worship with four times the capacity of St Paul's Cathedral planned for east London Iceberg homes: That's what today's billionaires are building - with underground discos, dog spas and even waterfalls... but it's driving the neighbours crazy Following tonight's meeting, Conor McAuley, Newham Council's executive member for regeneration and strategic planning, said: 'The proposed mosque building is too big and would have an impact on important historic buildings nearby.' He said councillors had considered the by Text-Enhance">application 'at length and with great care' before rejecting it. Massive: The mosque was planned to hold four times as many worshippers as St Paul's Cathedral (above), which has a capacity of 2,400 The mosque, which was planned to be around the size of Battersea Power Station (pictured), would have had 40ft minarets, an Islamic library, sports facilities and eight flats for visiting clerics 'The council undertook a rigorous and extensive consultation about the proposals in the run-up to this decision,' he added. 'Our planning policies promote the development of the Abbey Mills site for a mix of residential, by Text-Enhance">employment and community uses, to help create a new local centre near West Ham station and regenerate the area. 'The creation of new homes and by Text-Enhance">jobs are a priority for Newham Council. 'It is not considered that this application is consistent with these policies.' Standing in the shadow of the 2012 Olympic Park in Stratford, the new mosque would have included a prayer hall for up to 7,440 men and a separate facility for almost 2,000 women. Since Tablighi Jamaat moved into the Abbey Mills site in 1996, it has become embroiled in a series of application and enforcement disputes with Newham Council. The group, which traces its origins to India in the late 1920s, has been accused in the past of radicalising young Muslims. In 2008, Newham councillor and Christian Choice candidate for mayor of London, Alan Craig, complained he had been prevented by the BBC from describing it as a 'separatist Islamic group' in a party political broadcast. The group itself has said it 'refrains from political or controversial activities and stands for democracy and freedom' and that it 'promotes social and religious integration'. According to reports, the new mosque would have taken up three times the floor space of St Paul's Cathedral and matched the biggest Islamic building in Britain - Baitul Futuh in Morden, south London - for size. credit to monkeyman

Globalist in Education Reform Censoring Literary Classics by M Catharine Evans 122/9/2012 americanthinker.com The Common Core State Standards, adopted by 46 states with the blessing of new world order globalists on both sides of the aisle, promise to relegate unapproved literary classics to the ash heap of history. First they came for Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird; next it will be poems, short stories and novels that dare to explore the dangers of mind control, totalitarian reformers and bureaucratic central committees. This is blatant censorship. Robert Frost's poem "Departmental" illustrates perfectly why neo-Marxist reformers want to keep kids from reading classic American literature. Warning: read it quickly; it may soon be outlawed. The century long drive to transform American children into dutiful little proletariat workers hurrying about, answering to the "higher-up at court" like Frost's departmentalizing, "selfless" ants, has finally reached its destination. What will replace Frost's poem or The Grapes of Wrath or Moby Dick? " Informational texts" like "Recommended Levels of Insulation" by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the "Invasive Plant Inventory" by California's Invasive Plant Council. By the time the standards are in place, 70% will have to be non-fiction. Who is responsible for this Kafkaesque metamorphosis of our children into nothing more than insects? Mr. David Coleman, a Yale, Oxford scholar who received his by Text-Enhance">degrees in English Literature. How Orwellian. Coleman, the new President of the by Text-Enhance">College Board, has been called the " architect" of the Common Core standards. He is a rabid critic of self-expression. In a 2-hour address to New York State educators in April, 2011 Coleman proclaimed, "As you grow up in this world, you realize people really don't give a s*t about what you feel or what you think." The Bolshevik leader, Vladimir Lenin also had definite ideas about this cruel, unfair, "terrible hell" of a world. Lenin's rationale sounds eerily like Coleman's. Such bourgeois sentimentalism as essays on "how I spent my summer vacation" which Coleman dismisses as obsolete in the by Text-Enhance">21st century, is the same kind of unnecessary task Lenin would have denounced. Why? Because it didn't serve the revolution. Lenin understood the need to censor works of art that might lead workers to rebel. What he said about listening to Beethoven can be applied to literature as well. "It affects the nerves, makes you want to say kind, silly things, to stroke the heads of the people...Nowadays you musn't stroke anyone's head, you'd get your hand bitten off, you've got to hit them over their heads, without any mercy." Coleman's "informational texts" will surely pound the leftist message into the soft skulls of children. The Left has just fired the first shot in their war on American literature. Read more M.

Examiner.com ^ \| August 20, 2013 \| Steven H Ahle Deepak Bhargava, a former ACORN lobbyist has been hired by President Obama to run a contest promoting Obamacare through videos.

They are especially interested in immigration reform and support open borders. He and President Obama have had ties together for many years. (Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
