Finsbury Park Mosque

[scooping]

Finsbury Park Mosque was, until recently, the home of hate preacher Abu Hamza, eventually thrown out of the country. Judging by today's TV I am now expected to believe that it is the home of moderate, tolerant, enlightened Islamists. Can this miraculous conversion be ascribed to the Prophet, Peace be Upon Him, or to expediency?

I most emphatically am. There is no comparison with National Socialism and Islamic 'hate preaching' - go figure! I advocate all preachings in Mosques and Prisons should be done in English and cctv'd . For parity it would also have to happen in all other religious gatherings as well, but the Christian Churches, Jews, Buddhists Hindus and Sikhs have nothing to hide.

I did not compare Nazism and hate preaching! I compared what the Nazis did in monitoring sermons and what you suggested be done here - effectively the same thing.

Scooping; What absolute nonsense! we do not live under a totalitarian state, we have freedom of speech and a free press. I have not asked for suppression of opinion, even by those who wish to destroy our culture, what I ask for is that we should all be clear about what it is they, in our midst, the largely salafist imams, are preaching.
