I wonder if the protests against new Mosques has more to do with Islamaphobia than difficulty in finding a parking space.

I wonder if you actually read the link you think proves your point?

It is hoped the central location will satisfy members of the synagogue who wish to walk to services for religious reasons, and help to attract more student members.

Whittlesford firm Cowper Griffith Architects will start work on the plans this week and Mr Harris said neighbours would have a chance to give their views.

Mr Harris said: "We want to build something for ourselves but we also want the commun¬ity to be happy with the building and with us being there. "We want something that blends in very nicely with local designs – there won’t be any domes or spires."

The Yasume Club was wound up in March 2008. Roger Chatterton, co-chair¬man of Brunswick and North Kite Residents’ Association, said he had been assured the development would not cause parking problems.

Easier to trot out insinuations of 'Islamaphobia', I presume you meant Islamophobia. I've no doubt there's some of this, but I would strongly also consider taking some objections at face value.
