if you looked closely I actually asked "what ya gonna do" so your statement is misplaced.

It's catchy?

Re: Another protest against plans for a new mosque
 

That would be the EDL's misinterpretation of the planning process - BBC That would be an emotive term to inspire fear and anger.:dozey:

nothing in how I feel about Muslims has anything to do with race colour or language

The government part of it must have been the one that rejected the councils opposal.

No not at all and I have voted using the bottom option.;)

I made it multiple choice. so you could have also picked "I lied" if it was there to pick ;)

Re: Another protest against plans for a new mosque
 

I voted "I don't care" Basically, for me to be OK with it, it would need to meet the same criteria as any building where large groups of people need to go to and leave the building. It doesn't inconvenience me too much.

If they built one near me and I had to put up with blocked roads, being woken by the call to prayer etc, then I'd be angry. But if they built a church near me, and the roads were blocked and the bells woke me, I'd still be angry. Similarly if they built a large supermarket near me, and the roads were blocked and noise level woke me, I'd still be angry.

Re: Another protest against plans for a new mosque
 

In some cases like the proposed "mega mosque" in the East End, there are genuine causes for concern like millions of pounds of Saudi money being fed around the world in the hope of promoting their very hard line Wahabism sect of Islam.
As regards the mosque in this story if its for local people then so what? Seeing the thugs from the EDL in the link above gives me far more cause for concern, the vast bulk came across as uneducated racist morons chanting their hateful drivel.
In my view this mouthy EDL lot are no different than the hard line haters on the Muslim side, the irony is both sides are to stupid to realize it. Pity we can't ship each side out to a remote uninhabited island in the outer Hebrides, that way both sides can be with only their "own kind"...I wonder how long this supposed nirvana would last before they turned on each other?

Re: Another protest against plans for a new mosque
 

Question is where is money coming from to build the mosque, tax payers?

I don't see the need for them, there are plenty around the west midlands no need for anymore, plus how many English go overseas and demand a mega church is built.

Re: Another protest against plans for a new mosque
 

I could imagine you singing along to it.......
Conflating the Planning Inspectorate with "the Government" in this case is like stating that "the Government" stopped your benefits when you cease to be eligible for Job Seekers Allowance. The EDL appear to state that members of the Government were involved in decision-making, when in fact what happened was just part of the due process of planning and appeals. There appears to be confusion between policy-making and policy implementation.

And the High Court - is that part of the Government? Or is it part of an independent appeals process?

If the Secretary of State had been involved in the decision-making process (as in these), the EDL would have had a valid point - but as he wasn't, they don't.

We all would be if it made the charts. :)

Silly people.

Re: Another protest against plans for a new mosque
 

There's a mosque just around the corner from here (about 100yrds away) and the only problem it causes is with parking on a Friday afternoon, but as most people are at work, it's not much of a problem.
