Big Allah is Watching - Mega Mosque to Overlook Sandhurst

Absolutely outrageous and MUST be STOPPED!

 

Defence chiefs fight plans to build £3m giant mosque that 'will loom over Sandhurst'


By Dan Newling

Generals are trying to block plans to build a mosque with two 100ft minarets next to Sandhurst.

The £3million building would have a clear view over the military academy and is just 400 yards from its parade ground.

Senior officers oppose the project saying it could pose a security threat to cadets.

Objection: The MoD, backed by a petition signed by 7,000 local residents, is fighting plans to build a giant mosque overlooking Sandhurst

Yesterday an Army source said: 'This has gone right to the top of the chain of command.

'There is very real concern that if this thing gets built then soldiers could be put at risk.

'It is outrageous to even think that the officers of the future would have to watch their backs while they are still in training.'

Hundreds of newly-commissioned Army officers take to the parade ground each year for the academy's passing out ceremony.

The event attracts senior members of the Royal Family, including the Queen when her grandson Prince Harry was commissioned in 2006.

The gigantic mosque is the idea of the Bengali Welfare Association, which worships at the al-Kharafi Islamic Centre in Camberley, Surrey.

The group wants to demolish a listed Victorian school building in use as a mosque at the centre and replace it with a sprawling Saudi Arabian-style building.

Planning papers reveal that the massive structure would tower over local buildings.

As well as the two minarets, it would feature a large central dome, five smaller outlying domes, a morgue, a library and a separate worship area for women.

The first attempt at securing planning approval led to objections from 1,000 locals. Planning officers were also opposed but Conservative-dominated Surrey Heath gave the mosque the go-ahead last month.

However, a procedural error means the application now needs to go to a full council meeting for approval.

Plan: The new mosque will be built on the site of a Victorian former school, which has been used as an Islamic centre for the last 14 years

And the Ministry of Defence - which initially had no objections - has its mind to insist that the minarets are not built.

Local MEP Nigel Farage of UKIP, who is battling the plans, said: 'I am appalled that a local council can totally ignore the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the electorate of Camberley and overturn the recommendations of planning officers.

'This building is quite simply inappropriate and gives rise to genuine security concerns.

'I know that senior military officers are extremely concerned about this. It simply cannot be allowed to go ahead.'

Alan Kirkland, a local campaigner, said: 'Local people are simply flabbergasted that 100ft high minarets can be built right next to the Royal Military Academy.

'There is obviously a security risk and there is no way that it should be built.'

A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: 'Defence Estates has objected to the plans as such a tall building would give oversight into Defence property which could prove a security risk.'

      It is too late in the day for the eqivalence that there should be no mosques till churches are allowed in Saudi Arabia. We have far more pressing problems.

      So what is Germany to do? Assign protected Jewish zones in Germany, to German Jewish refugees from Germany? Its one solution, but such zones have been stigmatized by being known as ghettos. Too much bad history associated. Maybe one can think of a new name for 'ghettos'.

      Or we can admit that Islam is so far away from Western culture, that for all practical purposes it can be from another planet. Therefore, as Muslims make life so uncomfortable and dangerous for all of us, and from Muslim complaints one gathers, that Muslims themselves are deeply unhappy and offended by our customs, the best thing is for Muslims to be offered a choice - 'abandon Islam for good or take yourself and your Islam with you to where you are more comfortable'.

      Seems eminently reasonable to me, considering that the alternative is a civil war fast approaching, that will leave millions dead.

    Unlike churches, mosques are not places of spirituality, peace and sanctuary. They are quasi-military citadels and centres of subversion, intimidation and terrorism: http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/mosque-blight.html

    LABOUR SAY WE ARE ALL RACISTS

    Public opinion about migrants could be changed through education, the document said

    Tuesday February 23,2010
    By Macer Hall

    LABOUR dismissed the British public’s widespread opposition to mass immigration as “racism”, a Government document revealed yesterday.

    Officials made it clear that public opinion was strongly against relaxing border controls.

    But ministers were urged to ignore voters’ “racist” views and press ahead with a secret policy to encourage migrants to flood into Britain. Whitehall experts even proposed a major propaganda campaign to soften up voters in preparation for the mass influx of newcomers.

    I keep writing that both major parties have no wish to be elected for the next parliament, for they do not want to be in power when the chickens come.

    If you want this stopped, at least email the council responsible and say that you object. Just email development.control@surreyheath.gov.uk

    The more objections they receive, the more chance there is that they will vote against it as the application has not yet been decided.

    In fact, get all your friends to email in their opposition as well. You can object on the grounds that it involves demolishing a locally listed building, that it is out of keeping with the conservation area in which it sits or anything else you fancy.

    But above all, email the council and let them know you oppose it.

    The final vote will be March 10th if anyone is in the area.

    The government deliberately encouraged immigration into this country even though it knew many people were opposed to it and it would cause problems.

      Is is beyond belief that he expects anyone to believe anything he says in this interview let alone the last 2 minutes of "The right cannot accept we have immigration under control". This interview needs to be analysed and published with comments on each of his statements to show what a lying b****** he is.

    Somali mother of four has no right to live here... but we have to give her a council house

    Standing proudly with her arm draped over her 36in television, this is the Somali woman who must be given a council house even though she has no right to live in Britain.

    According to her she is entitled to it all. In fact she is disappointed, and probably angry, that she has not been given enough.

    Go on, get stuck in. You wouldn't believe where the unelected and the unaccountable can throw your hard earned money. 17 BILLION handed out in 2008 alone.

    My favourite so far? 80,000 euros to the Pakistan Folklore Society. For "Restoring dignity amongst indigenous desert border communities".

    Or 358,000 euros for "STRENGTHENING PASTORALISTS' VOICE IN DECENTRALIZED LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROCESSES" in Uganda

    Just click on 2008 and hit search. 2nd biggest recipient was ...........a train line in France (cost 147 MILLION euros). We really do need a revolution.

    UPDATE: Fuck me. 3.5 MILLION to replace a "team leader" on the "economic development of the Turkish Cypriot Community"
