Mosque / Cathedral
Leaving aside the (admittedly justifiable) mocking tone of the report...would you mistake Westminster Cathedral for a mosque?

Nonetheless, if I were a politician I think I'd check it out before speaking/tweeting.

They are probably too ignorant to realise that the images of Christ above the door rule out this being a Mosque. Images of religious figures are actually forbidden by Islam. In fact images of any sort are forbidden in Mosques, only scripts of the Quran are permitted to be shown.
As said, this is the RC Cathedral and is a lot more ornate than an Anglican Cathedral . Actually St Pauls with it's dome is more likely to be mistaken for a Mosque!
Is there no end to their stupidity?

Talking about 'Stupid Yanks' it would be hard to beat the story about the wife of the Guy who recorded 'Ghostbusters' ( Ray Parker Junior?)
They were in Rome and had asked for but been refused an audience with the Pope. She was heard to loudly complain
'' But Honey, surely he has kids who are into Ghostbusters!''

There is a link to
UKIP blaa blah "and so the voting box is set up outside a mosque, so much for random selection"
and the Beeb hack - "do you really wanna say that I think you should check"
which I think is better than what she couldhave written
hey ev'ry bardy - this bozo thinks a cathedral is a mosque !
and the confusion arises I think for the po' fella is that the cathedral is stripey like Cordoba = mosque and has basilica shape like santa sophia = mosque...
so he said gotcha
The comment about they didnt want Westminster to look like a prod C19 church I wonder about. The basilica style ( where the bishop sits enthroned at the end ) was an early form of church -which is why er Santa sophia looks like a basilica ( it was ). The study of the form of a church and how it rehearses function is called ecclesiology
