Another protest against plans for a new mosque - Page 8

I'm confused, Gary.

Don't you think it's inappropriate to threaten to burn down a mosque because of the threat of parking congestion?

Presumably you'd support a new mosque being built if everyone was guaranteed to arrive on foot?

Because if not, you'd just sound like a closed-minded, bigot...

Yes, but I don't think they wanted to burn it down because of that. and I'm not responsible for it either.

That would sway a lot of people I think. probably not the ones who want to burn the place down. and I'm not responsible for that one either.

Hurrah, I don't sound like a closed-minded bigot!

To save everyone fighting each other, what has to happen, IF there is a mosque in WEMBLEY, then there cannot be another built within a mile of the other.

A mosque has to suit residents, and not the builders, to my knowleage in SOUTHALL, there are THREE within half a mile, this should not be allowed to happen.

They have to consider residents, and play area's, but the reason why cars are parking on double yellows or even single yellow lines, or even double parking etc, is probabely the parking enforcement officers, probabley pray there, so they will walk straight past the cars and hit a couple of vans, doing there normal day job.

Why not? Surely it's better to spread them out than have one large mosque to accomodate them all and cause more congestion in one area?

Oh Arthur, Arthur, Arthur. Why not contact the council and your MP about the matter if that really is the case?
And anyway, when did traffic warden = muslim?
In our area, the council now patrol the road outside the shops where double parking was a problem because people contacted them and informed them of it.

I DID NOT mention anything about faith or relgion did l ?. what l said, like around here most of the parking enforcement officers are of black origin.

And also l stated also that there should only be on mosque built within a mile raduis of each other, ie One in Housnlow, One in Southall etc. otherwise there will be more mosques than houses.

You speculated that most of the parking enforcement officers prayed in the mosque. In what way is that not mentioning anything about faith or religion?

You said nothing about the colour of the parking enforcement officers.

Oh, and black does not equal muslim. Equally muslim does not equal black.

Why does everyone on this forum, like to cause a problem over race or relgion, l am not a racist person, but it appears some people get hot under the collar.

What l said was clear enough, l said around here most of the enforcement officers are of black origion, and it wouldn't surprise me, if they went to the mosgue and prayed.

**Hugh** · 06-04-2010, 18:49

Oh, Arthur - you contradict yourself, then you don't even realise it....

Most blacks around here attend the new church in the next town, which causes lots of congestion, hence my suggestion that they share the old church in my town which has plenty of parking spaces.

You may want to rephrase that

I wonder if its really the parking and congestion issue that makes a lot of people hot under the collar about a mosque being built, if there were to be ample parking in and around the area in question I suppose that a lot of folk would be happy to see the mosque being built.

You got a link for that, marky? - nothing in the local news about it (there is one being built in Accrington, but that's quite a distance away).
