Tablighi Jamaat propose to build a £100m Mega Mosque near to the London Olympic site....

...feck, I thought this was going to be a thread about a new theme park with rides that go with a bang.

I wasn't spamming for people to sign up! But it is an individual choice if you want to.

Yes, the wording of the petition is er, slightly, er, well, erm, yes, but aside of that I put the link in to show that not everyone seems to adopt a seemingly passive approach to things like this.

(Just for clarity, (a) we signed the petition and (b) I don't do religion of any kind)

The Good, The Bad & the Spineless

The Bad: Tablighi Jamaat propose to build a £100m Mega Mosque near to the London Olympic site. The FBI and French Inteligence, to name a few, have grave concerns about Tablighi Jamaat as a recruiting arm for radical Islamists.

The Good: Someone gets off their ar$e and peitions No. 10 against the plans. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ScrapMegaMosque

The Spineless: The government responds in it's usual vague manner "...there is no current planning permission or application for a mosque and Newham Council do not expect a planning application in the near future. The Government believes that where controversial issues such as this arise, all involved should ensure that discussions are conducted in a manner that respects the views of all sections of our communities and in a way that does not raise tensions in local areas".

Does anyone remember over 1 million signatures against road pricing the the government conveniently ignored?

What's the betting that if planning permission is submitted, ministers and their metro-liberal 'advisors' will deem this current petition as the voice of a few racists and cave in as a gesture of apeasement?
