Christian groups call for inquiry into London 'mega-mosque' plan
by editorial staff | 10/21/2006 | article read 467 times
Plans for a mosque in east London large enough to accommodate more than 40 000 worshippers are generating opposition from two Christian groups, the Barnabas Fund and the Christian Peoples Alliance.
Tablighi Jamaat, which says it is a Muslim missionary organization, has acquired land for the proposed buildings on a site less than one kilometre from the designated 2012 Olympic Village. The centre would be Britain's biggest religious building, four times the size of the mosque in Morden, south London, and far bigger than Liverpool's Anglican cathedral which can seat 3000.
