And so it happened. Why is this mosque still open?
“CLERICS OF HATE Preachers at mosque where Manchester bomber prayed called for homosexuals, British soldiers and non-believers to be killed,” by Ben Lazarus, The Sun, May 28, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
THE mosque where bomber Salman Abedi worshipped hosted hate preachers who called for British soldiers to be killed and gays and adulterers to be stoned to death.
Didsbury Mosque’s YouTube channel still features videos from clerics including American Abdullah Hakim Quick.
He called for homosexuals to be killed and death for those who do not follow Islam.
MPs accused the mosque of playing a part in Abedi’s radicalisation.
Labour’s Khalid Mahmood said: “It has to be asked where a 22-year-old man born and bred in Manchester gets that sort of hatred from.
“We tend to think the problem is the internet and social media.
“But people don’t just turn up one day and look at things online.”…

Gee, the Disbury Mosque has a very interesting shape. I guess the Crusaders left a favorable impression on Muslims on how to build their Western buildings.
/s
That this former church building is now a mosk says everything.
john spielman says
yup! if we don’t worship the Christ voluntarily, we will be forced to worship the antichrist( of islam?) involuntarily
I wonder what apostate denomination that church now turned mosque represented?

Here you are: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didsbury_Mosque
Was Methodist from founding in 1883 until 1962, then became a mosque.

Sad, very sad. Back in the 1960s many former church buildings simply became Bingo Halls. (Bingo is a mild type of fun gambling, popular with little old ladies)
Here in Sydney Australia where we have changing demographics and a “white hot” property market Muslims make cash offers that no struggling church can even think of refusing and because the site is already zoned as a place of worship it can be used as a mosque or Islamic prayer hall with a minimum of formalities.
Unfortunately the Christian West is allowing this to happen, our churches are empty, the Muslims walk straight in.
Sad, very sad.

One of the reasons Christians are abandoning their churches is because church leaders (pastors, ministers, priests, deacons, youth leaders, etc.) do not teach their flocks how to defend Christianity (apologetics).
Christianity is under attack from, in addition to Islam and Muslims, the MSM, universities, scientists and their scientific publications (Scientific American, National Geographic), many politicians (especially on the left), public schools (as in removal of the Lord’s Prayer), and, of course, atheists.
In God We Trust? Yes we do, but He can’t do it alone or else He would have done something by now. We are his foot soldiers and boy do we have a job to do.
We know what is true and what is false. There are no shades of grey here. We just have to articulate The Truth of Christianity and not make excuses for it.

It was Methodist.

A steeple converted into a minaret.

Muslims have taken over Christian Churches all the time. The most notorious example is the great cathedral Hagia Sofia in Istanbul. Invading Muslims turned it into a Mosque after slaughtering the women, children, elderly, and nuns who had taken refuge there.
JMB says
So true. But as per my previous comments they no longer need to slaughter men women & children, they just walk into our empty churches. (And turn the steeple into a minaret) Do you have nay answers Mr Graven Image?

“A steeple converted into a minaret.”
When the church was purchased 7-8 years ago the grounds surrounding it was a cemetery. So Manschester’s citizens & former church members were shocked when the cemetery fast became a green lawn.
“but in 1962 the chapel closed and was later converted into a mosque. It has an attendance of around 1,000 people.[3]” sourced from WikiPeedia
Later was just 7-8 years ago since this NEWS was the subject a Manschester resident and I exchanged email about. A LOT OF MAIL MIND YOU. The local police said there was nothing they could do to prevent them from removing the headstones!
So, the cemetery was converted into a green lawn! They are convert happy and in the M.E., so far, if you can’t answer their quiz on the Koran it’s your life you will part!

Because TOLERANCE!

Prosecuting Muslims for their interminable hate speech would be racist. It’s elementary. The only governmentally sanctioned response to their literal venom is wistful, teary-eyed love — don’t forget to always love — and warm and fuzzies contemplating their great contribution in uniting us in enrichment which is too often taken out of context in documents that may or may not be official amid hyper, racially-motivated focus on folks who amble the streets liked possessed automatons reciting the shahada, spreading enrichment in the pursuit of social justice via shipyard confetti.
abad says
That mosque should be closed down and its imam and followers deported to the Islamic Paradise Caliphate of Syria (TM pending)
billybob says
Not just closed down. Blow it up!
Georg says
The image of that “mosque” and what’s happened in an around it exemplifies the difference between church and mosque.
gravenimage says
Turn it back into a Church.
Steve Klein says
“Why is this mosque still open?”
Why are Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller banned from traveling to Britain? If anyone can answer this question then we might know why this mosque is still open.

Grimly true, Steve.

Manchester jihadi’s mosque hosted preachers who prayed that non-Muslims be killed
…………………
Even here there were a few people who swallowed the idea that the Didsbury Mosque was “moderate” and opposed terrorism.
By the way, this Mosque is now using the Hashtag #HugsNotHate–because slaughtering the unbelievers is not hate. You can’t make this sh*t up.
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
The gutless authorities find it easier to jail those, e.g. Tommy Robinson, who speak the painful truth about Islam than to close the mosque.
Lydia says
They were staying true to their religion.
