It's just a bit odd though, don't you think and it highlights how the Qur'an can filter into every aspect of life in these states. I find that worrying in the same way I would with any religion that has the ability or power to supersede independent or rational thought on a given subject. Just my opinion mind you.

Should they ban brits from opening greasy cafes on the costa del sol? Thats more offensive to Spanish culture than a few mosques!!!

Cafes serve food. Mosques serve Muslims, a bit different dear.

actually they do make a lot of concessions I heard recently on radio 4 of an agreement with other faith leaders that minaretts would be no higher than church steeples. The Muslim council of Great Britain work together with all faiths all the time to understand each other and counter discrimination. more lies

So now you are Stereotyping British people, as you claim I do with Muslims. Wonderful.

People have to understand, those types of incidents, always make the press, thats why some think all muslims are like that. BUt nothing could be further from the truth. Most want peace, and dont want to dominate the headlines, for the wrong reasons. BUt thats all that they show, they will never show you anything good accomplished by the muslim community.

well, that does sound more likely to me

It's not really, cos somebody was arguing that the reason for not wanting those spike things was because they'd take away from the sky line and the Swiss architecture do those cafes not do the same in Spain?

Well Cafes are usually small little huts. Mosques are massive buildings. Plus everyone needs to eat, but not everyone goes to Mosque. Also, they build them in the tourist areas built for holiday makers anyway.

You can't compare food with Religion. God knows how Netto will answer that one. Will most likely make me chuckle though.

it wasn't supposed to be comparing food and religion, it was to do with the spike on the building not the religion itself

I know, but any excuse to have a stab at the British. Still though, it was an odd comparison.

yes but the majority of the posters are British and I believe you yourself brought up a case of a woman in London being attacked so you can't have it both ways!!

Edit : Luton not London

That was LT. But I can have it both ways. Comaparing cafes with Mosques is just ridiculous, come on? There is no logic in it, it was a random stab at the British. And it is not as though they build them in the old town parts of Spain is it? They are in the tourist areas. Mosques are built wherever the Muslims see fit.

Yes, it was better than how many Churches were in every Muslim country lol

Tom4784 01-12-2009 08:29 PM

Wow how perfect must that country be if they can waste government time and such trivial and pointless issues? The idea that they are frightened of losing their heritage is ridiculous, there'd have to be a LOT of mosques and such built and a LOT less churches for it to even slightly resemble a muslin country.

What a complete and utter waste of Government resources.
