Mega-Mosque Protest

Remember Tablighi Jamaat's mega-mosque proposal for West Ham — just a mile or so from Europe's biggest evangelical church, the Kingsway International Christian Centre, which is to be demolished to make way for the Olympic stadium? A proposal so suspect that even Muslims are opposed to it? A petition calling for the plans to be abolished is currently the most popular on the Downing Street website. The full petition is unfortunately unnecessarily misleading in its second sentence but, with over 261,000 signatures, it has clearly hit a nerve in these troubled times:

We the Christian population of this great country England would like the proposed plan to build a Mega Mosque in East London Scrapped. This will only cause terrible violence and suffering and more money should go into the NHS.
