		<description>This Mega-Mosque should be called out for what it is, Social hyjacking of England. Im not religious or faith driven when I say that so leave the strawmen arguements aside. All this Mosque will do is ensconse the Political Correctness pacification of England, its Goverment, our laws and our way of life to new and impeding levels. London will be socially segregated even further and it open the doors to the Radical Islmaic flavour that has been uncovered with terrifying results already.

It has been said that online petetions have been hijacked by both British Nationalists and Islamic supporters alike, Each as bad as one another but at least the Home-team is right to take measures against such a project.

Imagine it,The capacity of such a building is said to range from between 40,000 to 70,000. Muslims have incentive to further ruin Londons social intergration problem. So much for England, so much for our Capital City, so much for our Anthem...

		<description>I note that, on the petition site, you're directed to a statement by Livingstone, which says, &lt;i&gt;inter alia&lt;/i&gt;, the following:
&lt;blockquote&gt;All religious faiths have the equal right to construct places of worship, subject to the appropriate planning permissions. The particularly vicious nature of the campaign against a possible Muslim place of worship in East London should be condemned by all of those who support the long established right of freedom of religion in this country, and all the more so as it is based on information which has long been established to be factually untrue.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
If all this is so much garbage, then, yes, there are malign forces behind the petition (although it doesn't seem to be such a bad idea to pre-empt such a barmy idea as yet another mosque). However, while I'm an atheist, I recognise that, if - and I mean &lt;i&gt;if&lt;/i&gt; - we are to recognise any religion at all as being what part of our culture is based on, it's Christianity. While I have a lot of issues with Christianity, I have more with Islam. It's a foreign, alien religion, unpredicatable, with no structure and a lot of hotheads. Much as I detest Catholicism, I don't see any of them going around inciting murder, as someone has been jailed for only this week at the Old Bailey following the Danish cartoon protests of last year. Yes, we should allow any religion to practise its, well, its practices, but we should keep a very wary eye on its encroachment and any attempt on its part to change the culture we have fashioned in this country, to our own liking (give or take).</description>

		<description>I'd have to advise some caution about this petition.
I received an 'invitation' to sign it via an apparent chain letter. Looking down this it was obviously being distributed by people involved in UKIP, and as a veteran 'fascist watcher' I also recognise old names from some of the three-nutters-and-a-dog breakaways from the old National Front which preceded the BNP.
If this is the same petition, I'd have thought the references to preserving a 'Christian nation' were also a dead giveway.</description>
