New Mega-Mosque to be Built in "Londonistan?"

Back in July, after Islamic suicide bombers killed 52 Brits and wounded over 700 more, British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced that "the rules of the game" would be changing in Britain in regards to radical Islam. According to Blair, no longer would radical Islamists be able to spew hatred and incite terror on English soil. But after a few arrests and the deportations of a handful of extremist clerics, things seem to have returned to normal in the U.K. In other words, Islam is well on its way to becoming the dominant religion in Britain by the year 2050--if not sooner. Don't believe me? The following excerpt, from Times Online, speaks for itself:

Giant mosque for 40,000 may be built at London Olympics

A MASSIVE mosque that will hold 40,000 worshippers is being proposed beside the Olympic complex in London to be opened in time for the 2012 Games.

The project’s backers hope the mosque and its surrounding buildings would hold a total of 70,000 people, only 10,000 fewer than the Olympic stadium.

Its futuristic design features wind turbines instead of the traditional minarets, while a translucent latticed roof would replace the domes seen on most mosques. The complex is designed to become the “Muslim quarter” for the Games, acting as a hub for Islamic competitors and spectators.

“It will be something never seen before in this country. It is a mosque for the future as part of the British landscape,” said Abdul Khalique, a senior member of Tablighi Jamaat, a worldwide Islamic missionary group that is proposing the mosque as its new UK headquarters.

And who is Tablighi Jamat, you might ask?

Tablighi Jamaat has come under scrutiny from western security agencies since 9/11. Two years ago, according to The New York Times, a senior FBI anti-terrorism official claimed it was a recruiting ground for Al-Qaeda. British police investigated a report that Mohammad Sidique Khan, leader of the July 7 London bombers, had attended its present headquarters in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. In August, Bavaria expelled three members of the organisation on the grounds that it promoted Islamic extremism.

Oh, I get it. Tablighi Jamat is just a merry old group of Islamic fanatics that want to impose Islamic law in Britain. And now they're going to build one of the world's largest mosques in London, right under the nose of the British government--which will just watch it all go down while lamely preaching about the joys of multiculturalism and the peace and wisdom of Islam. Yes, it looks like the rules of the game may be changing a lot faster than Tony Blair--or anyone else—thought.
