Fears grow over "Mega Mosque"
GORDON Brown is under pressure to block a £75million mega mosque, amid claims one of the suspected Glasgow Airport bombers belongs to the radical Islamic group behind it.More than 200,000 people have signed a Downing Street petition calling on the Prime Minister to intervene over plans for the mosque near the Olympics site in east London. It is being funded by the fundamentalist Tablighi Jamaat sect. One member of the sect is said to be Kafeel Ahmed, who was engulfed in flames when a Jeep laden with gas canisters crashed into a Glasgow Airport building two weeks ago. He is said to have taken up the teachings of Tablighi Jamaat after he was asked to leave his local mosque which he had tried to convert to what he called a purer form of Islam. The 7/7 suicide bombers Mohammed Siddique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer attended the European headquarters of Tablighi Jamaat at Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. The sects plans for a huge mosque just a mile from the main Olympics stadium have caused much concern. Local Tory councillor Alan Craig said: It will be a horrendous security nightmare if they are allowed to build this large mosque so close to the Olympics. They have a growing and ominous track record as further young men follow Tablighi teaching about Islam and then go on to plan horrendous atrocities. The Newham councillor accused the sect of radicalising and dehumanising young Muslims and said: The dangerous truth about Tablighi Jamaat is coming out. Posted by: tipper 2007-07-16 |
