UK: Largest Church in Europe Forced out for Largest Mosque in Europe....

Sign of the times.....

CBNNews.com - LONDON - If you live in London, and you want to build the largest Mosque in Europe, that's great. But if you want to build the largest church, forget about it.

London's Kingsway International Christian Church, the largest church in Europe, no longer has a permanent home. Nor is there much prospect of it finding one in London.

This congregation of as many as 10,000 was forced off its property to make room for the 2012 London Olympics. And now it must hold five Sunday services jammed into a 1000-seat former theatre in East London.

Not far from Kingsway's former church property is land that has been set aside for a huge mosque complex for as many as 70,000 Muslims. The City of London wants it to be an integral part of the 2012 London Olympic site. This despite the fact that the so-called mega mosque is widely controversial, because it is being built by a secretive group called Tablighi Jamaat, which some have tied to terror.

"Mayor Livingstone is actively courting the Muslim vote. That's what he's doing. I also think our secular authorities are actively writing Christianity out of the script," Craig said.

It's not surprising, then, that a leading Islamic cleric in Britain recently called on Muslims to support Ken Livingstone's re-election campaign.

The plan to create Britainistan is going quite well. I once heard that the US has all sorts of war plans in place, including war plans against allies. It appears one day the one marked "UK" will need to be dusted off and used.

It won't be long now and London will be renamed as West Mecca.

The Spanish should have just immigrated not sent an armada.

And to think of those empty London cathedrals run by the CoE. Maybe they can rent them out?
As mosques of course.

That's just plain nuts, but consistent with trends we've seen in the U.K. Bend over backwards for Muslims, but work really hard to deny any Christian roots.
