New Mosque New Windows

Well the new mosque at Clitheroe has finally been granted planning permission, and the windows have already started going in, probably before the prayer mats have. It is a sad reflection when after years of trying to find suitable premises, a certain element will not leave them to worship in peace.

I can understand the feelings of both sides but I don’t see the point of needless act’s of vandalism. Any moves to overt turn the decision will be weakened by this sort of crass attempt at intimidation; all they will do is strengthen claims of racial intolerance and play into the hands pc brigade and give them a reason to scream and shout that we are victimising an ethnic minority. I doubt that this is just kids and thugs alone.

Doug, How can you undrestand the feelings of both sides???? These are mindless morons with no tolerance of other religions.. Just what justification could they possibly have?

I was referring to the individuals perhaps not wanting a mosque for valid reasons and those Muslims desperate for there own place of worship. What makes this worse is the morons who have perpetrated this act will more than likely benefit from the community aspects of the project.

What I wasn’t meaning, is that I understood those idiots who where throwing stones through windows. They’re just mindless and ignorant.

OK, the joys of language eh?

I'm still at a loss to think of a valid reason for not having a mosque though.

I thought you meant they had started putting new windows in at first.

Then I clicked on.

Maybe it's the way I put it......

There isn't one to my mind. Not sure if the area it's sited is the best for all concerned but there's no vaild reason for preventing people from having a place of worship irrispective of their chosen or given beliefs.

My poor use of the Engish language ***Mr D***, it was rather confusing

so because a future mosque has been vandalised its a racist act now , anyone thought for a second it might just be everyday vandals wrecking an empty building it is usualy what happens to empty buildings

if they had sprayed racist comments then yes fair enough but all ime hearing is a few windows got busted

mani · 04-01-2007, 14:01

Is one pertaining to be an expert at grammer and the spoken English language?

If so I will sign up for a few lessons.

As for what is happening the wheels are in motion and there is no point in anyone trying to stop it. Everyone is entitled to worship as the wish regardless of their intollerances of others. Mind you if history is anything to go by religion has killed more people pro rota than any other institution.

I did think about reviving the earlier thread instead of posting this. To the anonymous karma nicker at least I have the bottle to post them, and risk idiots like you taking hard earned points, just because your drunk with power, it is no wonder the threads posted lately are so mundane when the likes of you pontificate on the posters you do not agree with!

WillowTheWhisp · 04-01-2007, 15:33

Did they take karma because they don't like the mosque or because they don't like the vandals?

This mosque business has put me right off Clitheroe. I used to like the place and thought it would be a nice town to live in. So does the prospect of a mosque in its midst put me off? No, it's the revelation of what some of the inhabitants are like that puts me off.

I'm glad they finally have a mosque, I believe they have been campaigning for one for over 30 years. Why shouldn't they have a place to worship.
