Vote against a SuperMosque at the Olympics site

Ken Livingstone is planning to use tax payer's money to build an enormous mosque costing an estimated 100M in the docklands.

Wouldn't it be better to spend the money on a new hospital or improved transport facilities??

The plan is for the mosque to be so big that people flying in from all over the world for the 2012 Olympics will it see it as the biggest landmark in London , bigger than St Paul's, Westminster Abbey or Wembley Stadium.

If you don't want international tourists to see a Mosque as an lasting image when they come to London in droves in 2012 then vote...

EDIT: After Bunka kindly did some investigative journalism I found that the Evening Std poll was fixed so I've edited the link to the PMs petition site. We made him take notice with road tax, now let him know how we feel about this...

a mosque becoming an icon of london dwarfing the cathedral, wembley and westminster....one way to ruin whats left of british culture, sounds like PC gone horribly wrong again

im all for being fair and such, but completely altering the countries image for it is excessive to say the least

I couldn't care less what is built there, but £100m of tax payers money is too much, especially when there is so much else that could do with that money.

With this thread all you've done is make all the muslims vote in favour while non-muslims just lurk :confused:

That vote is seriously flawed, you can just click back and vote again and again.

just a mile or so from where the mosque is due to go up, the Kingsway International Christian Centre, the biggest evangelical church in Europe with 12,000 worshippers on a Sunday, is coming down to make way for the Olympic stadium.

And interestingly enough the vote hasn't changed for days... I'm wondering if its fixed considering that the telegraph comments suggest 90% against the Markaz

that's silly that, the bbc news 24 site is the same when they have polls that's why I allways take them with a pich of salt.

Using the back key on my mouse i knocked up 20 or so No's to that BS.
I have no problem with them building Mosques but surely they should pay for it. I can't understand it at all 100 mill what the **** are they thinking. Hospitals, schools, prisons & infrastructure yes but religous buildings should be payed for by there own kind & not from tax payers.

Is it April 1st already? FFS I despair at what is happening in this country, I really do. I cannot find the words to express quite how disgusting and obscene an abuse of taxpayer cash this would be.

Where is England going? We may not have the strongest push for religion any more but building something to dwarf St Paul's is just blasphemous in my opinion. I know I'm taking a totally one sided daily mail side of things here but I despair at this, why do we always have to bow down to other cultures and not embrace and improve our own. £100m of the taxpayers money could quite easily go into other things needed such as correcting the education and sorting out chavs a bit or anything.
