Super mosque in doubt
Guffaw! Mosque does not create jobs nor bring income to HBC. Sense and good economics from Labour Group! Hope asian communty in West Accrington must know that they are not the only people in the area and Hyndburn. Well done Tim OKane and Ken Moss.

Re: Super mosque in doubt
Accrington Observer article this week explains conservative approval for a super mosque with a capacity for 2,500 worshipers in 2009 is now in doubt. the build would not benefit the community, nor generate jobs or income for HBC. Cllrs O'Kane and Moss via Overview and Scrutiny agreed to take a fresh look that this due to the delay by MOsque Commitee. 2009 to 2012 HBC have been waiting for movement. Now, clear heads have realised they do not have to sit in the asset that will give no income, the 2 acre plot is open agenda for development that WILL create jobs and income.
It is late or early whichever way your looking at the clock; forgive my mumblings!

Re: Super mosque in doubt
What a pity.
If you'd taken your shoes off, I bet they'd have let you go in there for a wee, preventing anymore li'l accidents.
Guffaw.

Re: Super mosque in doubt
If they want to use the land to help the local economy might I suggest they build a compound with an entrance and no exit, and relocate a certain establishment to there from Abbey St. The best economy boost this town will get

Re: Super mosque in doubt
Nothing gets a point across like Size 5 ComicSansMS Font
Isn't it better to have a super mosque rather than loads of little mosques? Oh
but there is different sects; just like there is different sects of Christian based religions. So there is bound to be a few dotted about. Do they really warrant the amount of money needed to build one?
Id have to admit; I am almost an admirer of churches and mosques(the architecture that is)

Re: Super mosque in doubt
I believe that the council should think very, very carefully about this. Would a similar sized Christian church or cathedral be tolerated in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia etc.?

Well of course they would not be tolerated, so why do you ask?
We live in a tolerant society, we allow freedom of speech and religion. Your chosen countries don't allow that.
If you are so against the Mosque, I suggest you become a councillor and change things.

Even though your question is, no doubt, rhetorical, of course it would be tolerated. It would provide a venue for the muslim nutbars to hang out, riot, burn, desecrate, and practice their bombing (suicide, hopefully) skills. Put the Stars and Stripes on top of it; that'll give the humorless bastards some climbing practice.
I think the time is coming when a lot of normally decent and tolerant folks in the West are going to suggest a hell of a lot less tolerance for Islam. Boot the bastards back to where they came from, especially to Pakistan which is quickly becoming a "failed state", if it hasn't already achieved that distinction.
Canada, by the way, has already closed its embassy in Tehran, and reaffirmed its staunch support of Israel.
Now that George W. Bush is out of office, Islam has become the number one threat to the stability and peace of the world. It may be time to put tolerance on the back burner for a while and start kicking some ass in the Middle East.
