  what kind of stink would be going on if they were doing a show on mohammed instead of jesus?

  I am guessing it would depend on the show. And, in case you weren't aware, Muslims believe it is important to accept and respect Jesus (alayhi salaam) as a prophet. We just don't believe that he died for humanity's sins, because we are all responsible for our own sins and God is quite capable of forgiving us without a sacrifice.

  Should Britain Build a £100m Mosque for the Olympics?

  by LittleToe in

  1. social
  2. current

  a poll is being taken by the british newspaper "the evening standard" as to whether or not britain should invest 100m in a new mosque for the olympics.

  i have to admit i'm a little confused as to why folks would desire to have their tax money invested in paying for a religious building, given that religions are already tax free.

  i don't see a similar offfer to build a new cathedral, synagogue or hindu temple, nor would i want to.

  LT: there are some significant questions on both sides

  Yes, there do seem to be.

  I first heard about this a while back on BBC America news (I think), and they were interviewing various people on both sides of the question.

  From what I understood, the land has already been purchased by the Muslim group that wants to build the mega-mosque. They just need permission to build. I don't know it they have the money to do so yet or not, but they may well be having to wait on that until they get the go-ahead to build.

  I will be interested to see if you find any of the answers to the questions you listed, or if there are any concrete answers yet to be had.

  I'm puzzled. Need more info, please. Is this the same proposed mosque as in this article ( http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1879728,00.html ) ?

  If so, then it is not for the Olympics but near the Olympics area, it appears.

  And is Britain actually being asked to pay for it now? Funding sources were uncertain in the above article but there was no mention at all of British tax-payers being a possible source.

  Remember how great the get-togethers were in the 1980's??

  by PaNiCAtTaCk in

  i remembers skating parties at least once a month, volleyball at the park, get-togethers where everyone would play bible charades and sing kingdoms songs, going to the river to swim with the whole congregation after the sunday meeting, spending the afternoon at the lake eating watermelon and water skiing.

  it was a great upbringing!

  also, i dont want to leave out the strong feelings of eliteness that i had even as a child, of having the truth.
