Biggest UK Mosque: Newham Council Rejects Plans
BBC: A plan to build the UK's biggest mosque in Stratford, east London, has been rejected by councillors.

Thousands of supporters gathered outside Newham Council's town hall ahead of the decision.

The huge mosque would have been four times the capacity of St Paul's Cathedral with room for almost 10,000 worshippers.

The Islamic missionary group Tablighi Jamaat has been trying for 10 years to build a mosque in Newham.

Supporters outside the town hall, some of whom had come from Birmingham and Bradford, held signs reading: "15 years of waiting. Not a day more. Vote yes to the Riverine Centre". (+ video) » | Wednesday, December 15, 2012

Tablighi Jamaat and the Misery It Can Cause
With thanks to Always On Watch for drawing this story to my attention:

ISLAMIC RESEARCH FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL: I was happily married woman. My husband, a medical doctor, was kind, loving, compassionate, and a model father to our two children. He was a perfectly NORMAL human being, with exemplary behaviour, an extremely good Muslim, and I can proudly say that he was a credit to the human race….. until he was rudely snatched away from me and my children by the Tableegh Jamaat*!

When this happened, he turned into a mere caricature of a human being. He discarded his normal, man's clothes, donning the Tableeghi calico maxi-kurta, which is really a female dress. He grew a bushy, Viking-type of ferocious, frightening beard, started carrying that eternal "Miswaak" stick in his front pocket where fountain pens are usually kept. He wears his calico trousers miles away from his ankle and thinks that that is the real Islam!

Before his transformation, he had bought beautiful furniture for me - a lovely dining room table and chairs, a color television, and a gorgeous bedroom suite. No sooner the demon of Tableeghism gripped and grabbed him, than he came home one day and ordered me to wear the Ninja purdah "with immediate effect." He stopped me from going out - even to buy the bare necessities for the kitchen - saying that I must remain confined to the four walls of the home, because that's what Islam teaches and that is how our Rasoolullah wants us women to be.

He sold all our furniture - yes, ALL, and this is no exaggeration! We had to sit on the floor and eat; we had to sleep on the hard floor. He said that that is how our Prophet slept. He did not sell the TV set; he actually SMASHED it to pieces, saying that the money gained from selling the TV would be Haraam! Miseries of a Tableeghi’s wife (more)

*Tablighi Jamaat (Tableegh Jamaat) is the sect of Islam which wants to build the mega mosque in London.

Newham councillor Alan Craig has formally called on the government to ban its construction. The Olympics’ mega-mosque is allegedly linked to the London and Glasgow car bomb plots. Those arrested suspects were allegedly radicalised by the mosque promoters of Tablighi Jamaat.
