Britain
Largest Mosque in Western Europe to Open
2003-10-02
The largest mosque complex in western Europe opens Thursday in southern England and will be able to hold up to 10,000 worshippers.
Ahhh... But there's a catch...
Ahmadiya Muslims built the mosque in Morden, funded entirely by voluntary donations from individuals.
No Soddy involvement...
Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, worldwide head of the Ahmadiyy community, will lead prayers Friday at the Baitul Futuh Mosque, which has a 50-foot dome. "It's a second historic occasion for the Ahmadi Muslims to add to the heritage of British culture and to the presence of Muslim community in Britain," said Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, president of British Ahmadis. The Ahmadiya Muslim community was founded by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in Qadian, India, in 1889. In a little over a century, the community has spread to 174 countries, with an estimated 200 million followers. Ahmadiya Muslims built London's first mosque nearly 80 years ago.
I'll bet the Paks are taking the gas pipe. Qazi's bunch made their name by rioting until the Qadianis were declared non-Muslims...

#11  NMM - the more you post the more apparent your ignorance, racism and xenophobia is. Thanks for the inadvertant compliments.

#9  jfm: maybe my recollection is wrong; it may have been an unsuccessful assassination attempt

I googled him and he died after a long illness (ie cancer).

#7  Abdas Salam. In English Abdas Peace. Now I
understand why he was assassinated. That and
the fact he was a productive member of humankind
instead of a burden.

#6  the nobel prize winner Abdas Salam got his prize for work on the interaction of the electromagnatic and weak atomic forces (two other people worked with him, one of whom was Jewish); As I recall he was assasinated by another Moslem.

#5  That's why the wahhabs don't consider them real Muslims...

#4  What, they didn't build it over the site of a razed church/temple?! These Western moose limbs sure do things differently.

#3  The Ahmadiyas are considered as non-Muslims by
the other Muslims because they violate one of
Islam's central tenets: Muhammad's was the last
prophet (ie God has nothing more to say after
Muhammad's teachings).


The Ahamadiya have produced a Nobel Prize in Physics ie about the only Muslim (sort of) contribution to science since around 1000AD.


AFAIK they are in Wahabi's extermination list,
but who isn't?

#2  Charles, you should read more about Ahmadiyas before comparing them to Nazis, or an anti-western Islam.

#1  Able too hold out against the Nazi's, but falls to Islam. Sometimes ethnic diversity and understanding can be a bad thing.
