This mosque makes a statement, and is intended to make a statement, about the Muslim presence in Britain -- its permanence, its influence, and its relationship to the non-Muslim community. And is anyone going to be working to ensure that jihad and Islamic supremacism aren't preached there? Don't be Islamophobic!

"Huge mosque build given go-ahead," from [1] Construction News, July 24 (thanks to [2] Weasel Zippers):

Plans for the construction of a five-storey building which will be one of London’s biggest mosques have been given the go-ahead.

Harrow Central Mosque will serve Muslim worshippers from across north London when it is built on Station Road. The designs include a 40m-high minaret, a gym, a crèche and a café within the 5,745 square metre development.

A crèche in the UK is a day-care center.
