Why do we need another mosque in Nottingham?

The Nottingham Post is reporting that another mosque could be built in Sneinton, on the site of a former vehicle repair garage.

Nottingham City Council officers will recommend plans for the building, in Sneinton Dale, to be approved at a planning committee meeting on Wednesday.

There is already a purpose-built mosque in Sneinton Dale - the Jamia Masjid Sultania - so why do we need another?

The total cost of the project is estimated to be around £2.3m, of which only £175,000 has been raised by the local community - is the rest coming out of council tax payers' pockets?

The building is described as a mosque and a community centre. A mosque is not a community centre. It is an exclusive meeting space for a particular sectarian group - community implies inclusion - Islam is definitely not inclusive.

It is the British National Party's policy to stop any more Mosques being built - this is clearly a mosque disguised as a community centre. It is time for Islam to integrate with the rest of community - another mosque is not the solution. Every other 'faith' manages it apart from Islam. We will oppose this as strongly as we can.
