So would you say this about a Christian church building, a Jewish Synagogue or a hindu or Seikh temple?

If not, do you realise how offensive that sounds?

Its not about whether its a mosque, synagogue, church with spire, mandir (Hindu) gurdwara (Sikh). Its simply a security measure as the height of parts of the building, the dome and minarets, would overlook the main parade ground of the Sandhurst Military Academy. The same objections would be lodged against any building which would compromise the security in the same way.

This would allow easy observation not only of the officer recruits, training staff, visiting dignitaries, security specialists including special forces and police undercover operatives etc who go to brief the recruit officers during the course of their training. Royal family members hold numerous honorary positions in various Army regiments and as such act as dignitaries for parades and other occassions.

The Academy is also used for other training courses of Army Officers during their careers.

I'm against all religions, mosques are not exactly small are they!! They are very dominant buildings. It's not offensive it's practical.

That is a brilliant point actually.

But I think the reason MOD are opposing this is purely a security measure...

Pakistan's government is a joke, not least because of the fact they have sabotaged British efforts in Afghanistan by urging British forces not to accept the assistance of Indian troops. This is in spite of the fact that they are getting bombed to high heaven by the Taliban. Of course... our government is just as bad for caving pressure from them.

Pretty much, I never realised how bad it was until recently, and the way the Ex President was killed as well is just awful.
