I am so happy!
Reader comment on item: The London Markaz
Submitted by Andy Duffy (United States), Mar 14, 2009 at 16:22
After reading some of the comments on this site I am so happy that there are even so many Muslim people in the country/area that this kind of project can be in the works. Is it too big.. may be maybe not.. I don't think one can compare this to other religious places of worship as different religions practice in different ways and islam has a big emphasis in congregated worship.
I am a bit alarmed at the people who are making it look like a take over of other peoples liberties when this mosque will be built as what they are saying is exactly that.. taking the liberties and freedom of the muslim population in that area. I hope this project cna be completed in a peaceful and exempellary manner to show that Islam in not just about Al-Qaeda, Terrorism etc..
Good luck and god bless.
