David
Cameron has said he is "disturbed" that Muslims were forced to
abandon plans for a mosque in his constituency because racists threatened to
burn it down.
Islamic
leaders were given the go-ahead to build a mosque in an empty shop in Chipping
Norton, within Mr Cameron's Witney constituency. The mosque would accommodate
40 worshippers.
But
the shop's landlord, George Wissinter, received threats within hours of the
council granting planning permission. He was told by an anonymous caller that
his shop would be burned down if the mosque went ahead. Mr Wissinter, 79, said
he had also encountered strong verbal opposition from locals.
Mr
Cameron said: "I am greatly disturbed to learn of threats being made in
Chipping Norton following the District Council's decision to grant permission
for a prayer room for the Muslim community. Chipping Norton has an excellent
record of supporting the rights of minority groups [...] and I sincerely hope
that this will continue."
Tory
councillor Tahirul Hasan, who has campaigned for the mosque for seven years,
said he hoped to meet with the Prime Minister to discuss the issue. The
councillor said: "I have to travel 14 miles to Banbury to pray. This is
why we need a mosque in Chipping Norton." On Friday, Mr Hasan met with
Thames Valley Police, who are investigating the arson threat.
So David
Cameron is "disturbed" not half as "disturbed" as many people
are with some of his antics. Still more facts emerge, 'The mosque would
accommodate 40 worshippers'. Well with all respect 40 men and boys in a room 22
x 16 ft, you couldn't keep 40 chickens in a space that small,
Tahirul also said : "I have to travel 14
miles to Banbury to pray". no mention of using the Town Hall for the last
4 years then Tahirul?
