Digital Alert:

According to article 220 of the moroccan criminal code, christians who engage in proselytism in the moroccan kingdom have to face penalties of up to 6 years behind bars, churches are closed and foreigner christians are expelled if they dare to publicly display their faith. Moroccans have no right to convert to another religion, and according to the constitution, a christian is not allowed to get moroccan citizenship.

Meanwhile the building of mosques in France and its control by Morocco (and other muslim countries) increases. This is about a territorial conquest of the zones under muslim colonization which are multiplying mainly in France, but alsoin other european cities.

After the building of the great mosques in Clermont-Ferrand and Saint-Etienne, which were financed by Morocco, now it is the turn of the town of Blois. A mosque and a madrassa in being built on a 1500 square meter plot of land. The king of Morocco donated 787.000 euros to help finishing the building of the complex.

The building of the “Bilal cultural and religious centre”, begun 2 years ago, was at a standstill. The first 600.000 euros collected by the regional muslim community were entirely spent. On the occasion of a private visit of the King of Morocco to one of his numerous properties in France, he was handed over a report explaining the details about the project and the difficulties the project was going through. The king’s reaction was positive and he donated the money needed to end the project

More than 30.000 muslims live in that region: Moroccans, Argelians, Turks and Africans of different nationalities. The founding stone was laid down in december 11, 2009. The mosque will have an area of 1500 square meters,including a prayer hall of 450 square meters and a 9.20 meters high minaret.

Mosque or Mom’s house? Dispute over big house in West Miami-Dade

County Commissioner Javier Souto suspects that a seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom house under construction in his West Miami-Dade district is destined to be used as a religious sanctuary — possibly a mosque.

He has complained to the county’s building and zoning departments. He flagged the inspector general, the state attorney and the governor. He also urged his colleagues to initiate an investigation and issue subpoenas.

But property owner Samir Ghazal says he’s just building a house for his mother — an 8,190-square-foot house, featuring a nearly two-story high, Moorish-style arch over the front door.

The Revolutionary Guards and its Quds Forces, which run Iran’s terror networks worldwide, have created two special units to undermine the regimes in the Persian Gulf and push America out of the region.

 The Guards are using Imam Ali mosques around the globe, including some in the U.S., as terror command centers.

Unit 110 and Unit of Madinah – named after the second holiest city in Islam, the burial place of the Prophet Mohammad – were established to remove the U.S from the Gulf, sources report.

English mayor uses threat to turn house into mosque if he doesn’t get his way with demolition of heritage home.

Posted on by

This is quite revealing. If turning a structure into a mosque can be used as a threat, then clearly it means that no one actually wants one. I mean if he threatened to turn it into a church I doubt somehow it would have the same impact. Or a walk in clinic etc.

The Telegraph:

I’ll turn my house into a mosque, threatens Auburn mayor Ronney Oueik

AUBURN mayor Ronney Oueik has issued an ultimatum to his neighbours: let me tear down my house or I’ll turn it into a mosque.

Mr Oueik wants to bulldoze the heritage-listed home he bought in 2009 in Homebush and build a new one.

His original application to demolish the historic Camden Lodge in Burlington Rd was unanimously rejected by Strathfield Council in 2010, but now he is trying again.

His new application comes after a fire ripped through the residence in January. The blaze is being investigated by police. Mr Oueik denies any involvement with the fire.

Neighbours said Mr Oueik had held public meetings with them in a bid to remove any objections to his plans, and had threatened to turn the building into a Muslim prayer hall if he didn’t get his way.

Marlene Doran, who has lived in Homebush for 60 years and is the archivist for the heritage society, said the threat to sell the house to turn it into a Muslim prayer hall was disgraceful. “This is a threat to get the neighbours onside so he can demolish,” she said. “It’s disgusting. He’s done nothing whatsoever with the house. It’s demolition by neglect.”

But several other neighbours who spoke to The Sunday Telegraph said they now supported the application to demolish the house after seeing Mr Oueik show men in traditional Muslim robes around the property.

“The house can’t be fixed, so it probably has to be demolished,” one neighbour said. “He’s told us he will be selling it to a Muslim community organisation which wants to use the site as a prayer hall. We don’t need that in the street.”

Mr Oueik said the property was too expensive to repair. He said if council wanted to preserve it they should buy it off him and foot the $2 million-plus bill or he would sell it to one of several “community organisations” who were interested.

Dudley mosque plan rejected by High Court

Posted on by

BBC:

A computer generated image of the proposed Dudley Mosque Dudley Council said the proposed £18m mosque would be out of keeping with nearby buildings

Plans to build a new mosque on a derelict site in the centre of Dudley have been thrown out by the High Court.

In September, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council refused permission for a second time to build an £18m mosque and community centre on Hall Street.

Accusations of unfairness and “abuse of power” made by the Dudley Muslim Association against the council were rejected by the court.

Dudley Muslim Association said it would appeal against the ruling.

Kurshid Ahmed, from the association, said he was “bitterly disappointed” with the judgement and claimed the planning dispute had damaged community relations.

He also called for an independent hearing into the planning process, which dates back to 2005, when the association bought the plot of land.

‘Unfortunate dispute’

Following the High Court decision, the association is now required to sell the Hall Street site back to the local authority within the next month.

Two, probably unrelated stories, from Luton.

This is interesting. Police are probing a fire at a Luton mosque…

Burning mosque in Luton

Here is an interesting story about that same mosque!

There has been a vote of no confidence passed in the mosque management committee at the Bury Park Mosque in Luton. This followed a petition signed by 500 local people. A temporary management committee was elected to run the mosque for eight weeks until a new committee can be formally elected with the help of outside observers. The protesters objected to the way in which the former imam, Mufti Abdul Hannan, had been dismissed and they wanted to know why the mosque was in debt and why extension work had not been carried out. The mosque is reported to be £26,000 in debt with a further £150,000 needed to complete the extension work. There were further disturbances in the mosque on Friday 24th June when police were called. There were unconfirmed rumours of a stabbing in the mosque but police found no evidence of this. The road was sealed off and police were stationed outside the mosque for some time. It is reported that a police radio was stolen during the incident. [BMMS June 1994 Vol. II, No. 6, p. 16/17]

As I say, probably unrelated. But interesting.

When you call us you win: An article by the people at Law and Freedom Foundation ‘Mosquebusters’

When you call us you win …

 

By • on March 17, 2012

… and when you don’t, you lose.

To my pleasant surprise, we’ve won every case we’ve fought. Is this just luck? A lucky streak of 12 on the trot would be a very lucky streak indeed, though maybe not impossible. What confirms my view that it is more than dumb luck is that the applications we haven’t got involved in have gone the other way.

The City of Derby is a classic example. They were recently the fortunate recipients of an application for “A MOSQUE that could cater for 600 people, with a minaret towering 21 metres into the sky, will be built in Derby”. See the image above.

The good people of Derby didn’t approach us for help.

The mosque got planning permission on March 15th.

And this in spite of the Council Planning Officer recommending that permission be refused because of “physical dominance”, “overbearing height”, “mass within the plot” and “undue harm to the amenities of adjacent and nearby residents”.

Meet the ‘Mosquebusters’: British Legal Team Out to Stop Islamic Influence in its Tracks

Posted on by

The Blaze notices and picks up on the critically important work of Gavin at Mosque busters.

Before I copy paste some of the article and the link to this story, please know that this idea was Gavin’s alone, and that he has done all this work to stop over 10 mosques from being built or expanded and done it all with his own money and sweat. If you are able to kick him even $5.00 or $10.00 please consider doing it as he is out of pocket a lot, and what he is doing is risking  his entire career and as importantly, is an effective way of slowing or stopping Saudi radical influence in the Western world within a legal framework and doesn’t require burning or stoning anything.

From The Blaze:

British Legal Experts Called Mosquebusters Waging a Bureaucratic Turf War Against Islamic Influence in BritainImage by: Spike Johnson/Foreign Policy

Meet the Mosquebusters — or as they’re officially known, the Law and Freedom Foundation – a group of anti-Islamic vigilantes in Britain with a subtler approach than their peers: Rather than picket Mosque sites, or lead demonstrations of any kind, they sue under Britain’s byzantine legal code to make it illegal for those Mosques to be built in the first place.

Anti-Islamic sentiment in Britain is not new. Groups such as such as England Is Ours and Stop Islamisation of Europe have, for some time, been defending what they see as traditional British/Western culture against a group they see as closeted Islamic extremists who will kill “infidels” or take slaves at the drop of a hat. In fact, they believe that the Koran urges precisely that. Some — like the English Defence League (EDL) — verge on paramilitary fascism in their use of tactics.

Others simply run around in public yelling incendiary phrases. The Mosquebusters, however, are apparently clever enough to avoid those obvious trappings of pro-Western resistance. Foreign Policy Magazine describes their approach as “a war against Islam, but one that often resembles a bureaucratic turf battle more than a clash of civilizations.”

Their leader, who calls himself “The Lawman,” also takes a subtler approach to the question of fighting Islamic influence in Britain. Rather than play into liberal stereotypes of “Islamophobia” and racism, he makes it very clear up front that what concerns him is Islamic doctrine, not people. From his manifesto:

“It is primarily about the division between Islamic and non-Islamic society, and the lawless violence at the heart of Islamic doctrine and practice.”

Four more fought off

Law and Freedom

2012 has started with a bang.

That makes a total of 9. And we haven’t lost one so far.

The pattern is that when we fight a mosque planning application it gets stopped, and when we don’t – because we’re skint or someone lets us down – it goes through. Make what you want of that.

  • BOLTON. Application reference 87089/11: planning application to turn a shop (a former pub) into a mosque. Refused on traffic and parking grounds.
  • EALING. Application reference: 2011/4564: Planning application to turn the sheds to the rear of 387 & 389 Uxbridge Road into a mosque. Refused. No reason published online yet.
  • KIRKLEES. Application reference: 2011/92581. Planning application to turn the beautiful old Jolly Sailor Pub into a mosque. Application withdrawn.
  • LUTON. Council decision not to sell development land on the cheap to the Masjid E-Ali mosque outfit – see previous post.

Winning means either we get a refusal or the other side withdraw the application.

They could come back again, and if they do we’ll fight them again. But we’ve seen ‘em off this time.

There’s all to play for.

It can be done.

Mosquebusters is knocking them down left, right, and center! (mostly left though)

This is really amazing. Mosque-busters is now winning his applications to stop various Islamic structures from being built without even having to physically show up at council.

Stopped a big one in Luton

Stopped a big one in Luton

The Luton Mosque outfit who were going to take over a former army barracks right in the centre of Luton have been stopped.

This was one that boasted of fundraising for Ayatollah Khamenei’s organisation. Ayatollah Khamenei is the world’s foremost terror financier – the supremo of Iran, a wanted human rights criminal in the Hague, the controller of Hizballah, implicated in the execution of a Lebanese head of state, the controller of the Iranian Gestapo (the “basij”), and the man who maintains the death contract on Salman Rushdie.

The Council say the decision not to sell the land cheaply to this mosque outfit this was as a result of a Council meeting in December. But that is a lie. It was as a result of a very angry public meeting on 24thMarch 2011 where the Council didn’t cover themselves in glory.

I have never been at meeting so violent in tone. The mosque followers were flash-mobbing, half the room was shouting, and I had to have a police escort out at the end. Saying rude things about a wanted human rights criminal (Khamenei) can make you the most hated man in the room. Continue Reading →

Luton: Drill Hall ‘no longer for sale’

CONTROVERSY: The Drill Hall siteCONTROVERSY: The Drill Hall site

Published on Thursday 22 December 2011 16:13

 

THE controversial sale of the Drill Hall site in High Town to a Muslim group has been axed, with Luton Borough Council announcing yesterday (Dec 21) that homes will be built there instead.

At a secret meeting last week, members of the council’s executive decided that the site should be used for housing, rather than be sold to the Shia Muslim Masjid-e-Ali group for £1.5 million.

A spokesman for the group said its members were “extremely disappointed” by the decision.

The council had agreed to sell the site to the group for use as a community centre, but suspended the sale earlier this year after rumours were circulated in Luton by the English Defence League that the new building would be a ‘High Town Super-Mosque’.

A campaign followed by a group called House the People for new affordable homes to built on the site.

The council said the sale was suspended because of new policy guidance from Whitehall on the sale of buildings owned by local authorities.

A task group consisting of council leader Hazel Simmons and two other Labour executive members was set up in September to look at the best future use of the site.

They spoke to local residents and community groups including the Masjid-e-Ali, who are currently based in Moor Street.

Cllr Simmons said the decision reflected the council’s commitment to providing affordable housing, adding: “Our goal is to maximise the potential for regeneration in this area with a scheme that is supported by the local and wider community.”

She continued: “This has been a long and challenging process and the decision we have made at the end of it reflects the council’s commitment to doing everything it can to continue to provide new and much-needed affordable housing in Luton. This remains an absolute priority.”

The council says the homes on the site will be a mixture of “affordable and private market dwellings”.
