If you belonged to a community that had, over many centuries, been subjected to mass murder, gang rape, forced conversion and astounding levels of oppression and hatred by Islam, you would probably have some degree of justifiable grievance against this violent ideology and its often none too savoury followers. If, in addition you and your family had found shelter in the United Kingdom, wouldn’t you vehemently object to having a mosque forced on the area of Britain where you have settled, knowing the crimes and atrocities that Islam had subjected you and your people to? Of course you would. You would be livid, it would be as triggering and fear-making as if some bunch of neo Nazi scroates, complete with swastika displays, set up shop next to a synagogue. It would be something that you would feel honour bound and morally bound to oppose.
This is the situation that the Hindus of Leicester are having to deal with following a plan to impose a mosque on an area that not only contains a large number of Hindus and Hindu religious establishments but also contains Christian churches as well. According to an article in The Shy Society blog that I was alerted to by @ChaunceyTinker a user of the Gab platform, Hindus in the Leicester area are up in arms over a plot by a group called Fusion Consulting Services Ltdto turn a disused industrial building into a Muslim prayer room and ‘community centre’. Many may ask just why a bunch of Muslims feels the need to endanger community cohesion by planting their jihad and sedition centre right in the middle of a bunch of more often than not peacefil, integrated and hard working Hindus? It is an action that could be seen by some as an attempt by an Islamic group to intimidate Hindus by staking a claim for the area by building a mosque there. In any event this mosque was not wanted by the Hindus or anyone else in this part of Leicester.
According to the Shy Society article local tensions have been running high over the mosque imposition plans and there was a large police and security staff presence at the local council planning meeting at which the mosque imposition plan was refused planning permission. The planning meeting was apparently packed with about 200 people such was the scale of the interest in this controversial proposed development. The Shy Society article stated that there had been over 5000 objections to the unwanted mosque by residents who were worried that their quality of life and indeed their freedom to worship as they wish would be adversely affected by this development. Please note that the original source text is in italics whereas this blog’s comments are in plain text.
The Shy Society article said:
Police have been needed at a Leicester council meeting due to controversial plans for a new Islamic education centre in a heavily Hindu-populated area of the city.
In a sign of the heightened tensions in communities across Britain, up to half a dozen officers from Leicestershire Police were seen stood outside City Hall on Wednesday evening as 200 people flocked to the hotly anticipated planning meeting.
The visible police presence was accompanied by around a dozen security guards inside the council house as the planning application to convert a former warehouse on Belper Street, Belgrave, into Muslim prayer room, education centre and nursery was debated by elected representatives. It is understood the event passed without incident.
Over 5,000 people, including Leicester East MP Keith Vaz, had objected to the proposals primarily due to the general disturbance and traffic generated by the new development, dubbed a mosque because of its prayer facilities. Others opposed the application by Fusion Consulting Services Ltd down to concerns about having an Islamic place of worship so close to a nearby Hindu temple and church.
The article said that objectors also cited the fact that there were numerous mosques already available to Muslims in the city and that there was no need for another one. I must admit I concur with the objectors to this mosque. There is no need for another mosque in Leicester and many would wonder whether there are too many mosques in Britain full stop especially as few of them seem to have any lasting or positive benefit to Britain’s non Muslims. In fact these mosques so often bring with them a number of problems, parking and aggressive Islam being pushed in our faces being but two of them that it is understandable why people, whether Hindu or not, object to their presence.
I must admit that this particular mosque application really did give the appearance of an attempt by Muslim interests to intimidate Hindus. Those behind this now shelved project had no rhyme or reason to build this mosque where they wanted to as it wasn’t wanted by locals nor was it something that local people Hindu and otherwise appeared to feel comfortable with being built. This particular planning case really does stink heavily of a Muslim group going out of their way to take the piss. What has happened in Leicester has a number of similarities to the case of another mosque plot in London’s Golder’s Green, an area with a large number of Jews who are often the primary targets of Islamic violence, where a Shia Islamic group is trying to turn a former theatre into yet another unwanted mosque. Like the Leicester mosque plot, the Golders Green mosque plans are vehemently objected to by a large number of locals both Jewish and non Jewish.
The meeting at Leicester was described by The Shy Society blog as ‘lively’ but the council planners refused the mosque imposition plan on the grounds that it would lead to increased noise and disturbance for local residents. The council is correct in this case to refuse the application. This is because mosques nearly always bring so much noise and disturbance that eventually non Muslims move out because a) they no longer feel safe in their old areas because of the presence of aggressive Islam and b) their quality of life is so adversely affected by the mosque and its users.
The mosque promoter one Fayyaz Suleman, who appears to be the sole director and chief panjandrum of ‘Fusion Consulting Services Ltd’, indicated that there will be an appeal against the refusal of this mosque. Mr Suleman wasted no time in turning up the whining to ’11’. He is quoted as saying: “The planners appear to have been influenced by other subjective factors and local politicians.” Like what Mr Suleman? This mosque imposition was defeated fair and square and the traffic and disturbance reasons are sound. If he feels that ‘subjective factors’ are an issue then maybe he should look at his own conduct in aggressively promoting a mosque where it was plainly not wanted and not needed. In my view people, no matter who they are, should have the same right to object to the quality of life problems that a mosque would bring as they would to object to a noisome tanning factory being imposed in an equally inappropriate place.
It’s obvious that these ‘mosque-e-teers’ are not going to give up imposing their mosque on an area where it is plainly not wanted both because it will bring increased traffic and because of the troubling nature and history of Islam itself would be offensive and threatening to the local Hindus. It is likely that the next or next but one step that these mosque promoters will take will be to lodge a local appeal with the council and then if that is not successful will take the matter to the planning inspectorate. Those who have successfully managed to fight off this mosque imposition should not rest on their laurels because this Islamic group seems dead set on building this mosque where they want in order that they can willy-wave their Islamic death cult at a group of people who have suffered greatly at the hands of Islam over many centuries.
