Many of the churches on the link you posted such as in Morocco were built decades if not hundreds of years ago when the country was occupied by Christian invaders.
If the UK had been invaded by Islamic conquerers in our past history and Mosques were common place then we wouldn't be having this discussion. But we weren't and they aren't. Mosques in the UK are still quite a recent thing, which is why they don't fit in architecturally.

Well done for trying to make a point, but.. it is... a... Cathedral... after all, and it is one of kind......
Now if there was one of these in every city and town you may have a point but even then it is still very much a western design.
Also from a personal point of view, considering it's my home town, I like it. Also planning laws were much less strict in the 60's and 70's
