BRITAIN could have its first Sharia-controlled zone if plans for a mega-mosque more than four times the size of St Paul’s Cathedral get the go-ahead.
The East London mosque, known as the Riverine Centre, will hold 9,312 worshippers, compared to 2,400 at St Paul’s.
The 16-acre site in West Ham will include 40ft minarets, an Islamic library, a dining hall, multi-use games areas, tennis courts, sports facilities and eight flats for visiting Muslim clerics.
Islamist group Tablighi Jamaat has submitted updated plans for what Cambridge-based architects NRAP are calling a “contemporary Islamic sacred space” the size of Battersea Power Station.
But last night campaigners against the proposal claimed the application was a smokescreen for wider intentions to create a hardline Islamic enclave in the capital.
They also insisted facilities for the wider non-Muslim community in East London would be minimal and disguise Tablighi’s real aim to establish a global base.
This mosque won’t happen. The pushback against these revolting eyesores has been bubbling under a while now, and it’s ready to pick up speed.

have a look at the nauseating public comments for these plans on the council website.
Joe: It appears that they are no longer available for public viewing. How odd. Anyone manage to download or get a screen grab first?
Eyesore,
No, they’re still there. I just clicked on the link I provided, and it took me straight to them.
I especially like the “it’s for the whole community” crap. That they will even suggest this is proof, if ever it were needed, that they think we’re morons.
