There is an easy way to prove the 'good faith' of all communities to peace and reconciliation of the different religions.

For every group requesting planning permission to build a mosque in the predominantly Christian nations, there should be the equivalent Christian Church (bells and all), Jewish Synagogue and Hindou Temple - square meter for m2 - built in the predominantly Muslim countries, starting with Saudi Arabia, then Iran, Algeria, Libya, Iraq, Malaysia etc.

In the event of a lack of response from the Saudi authorities to this request, then the mega-mosque, and any other mosques in Europe, should be refused planning permission - permanently.

Furthermore, Christians, Jews, Hindou's, Buddhists should be allowed full rights to practice their religions safely alongside Islam.

Although I am agnostic, I would be prepared to vote that some of my taxes should go to fund these buildings in the Middle-East, just as Saudi money funds the mosques in Europe.

Pierre, Paris,

The solution is quite simple.
The Christian faiths should apply to build a cathedral in Saudi Arabia.
Until the Saudis give permission for that, combined with the guarantee of religious freedom for those wishing to worship the religion of their choice - then we shouldn’t even begin to contemplate building a mosque, four times the size of any Christian Church, in this country. I couldn’t imagine a better example of what could be described as a fifth column.

Keep it to sport this is not a religious event, so let keep sport & religion separate. We're having enough trouble founding the Olympics without money being marked for religious buildings & the like.

Aiddy, MK,

Can we please have a religion-free zone around the Olympics. The combination of competing religions and highly competitive sport is a really depressing prospect.

As for a super mosque .... let them have it. When we get a super church in Saudi Arabia.

Muslims are a tiny proportion of the population of the UK. Why are we letting them force their beliefs and customs on this country?

Famously tolerant British people can't keep on pretending that the growth of the Muslim community will have only positive 'vibrant' impact upon the country our children and grandchildren will be raised in.

Seriously, we can't. We have to wake up, and plans like this should jolt us out of our trance. The Muslims are strong, focused and organised, and they see a super-mosque like this as having profound significance, why don't we?

There is no Muslim country in the world in which a 'super-church' is the largest place of worship in the land. They would never, ever allow such a thing; the fact that we are even considering this is a reminder that we're still sleeping...

Here we go again. will it be like the millenium dome where the vatious religions stirred up trouble and insisted on a faith zone but then couldn't be bothered to send anyone along to man it.

richard james, londonUK,

It's a free country (I hope), why not have both a megachurch and a mosque?

The Tablighi Jamaat is not a bad organization, they preach nonviolence and the importance of scholarship and knowledge in the religion (which would whither terrorism away if they succeeded).

This is all much ado about nothing; its not a threat and we should celebrate the re-emergence of faith in Europe.

The UK is asking for trouble in a few years. I'm glad I got out while I could. Once they are the dominant population do you think we will get the same rights? I think not.

Mark, Leeds,

There should be no mosques bigger than our largest cathederal.....

I wouldn't object to any Hindu/Budist or Jewish temple but until Islam stops being an aggressive religion it should be treated with caution.

They might not be slowly taking over the UK... But then they might be... We Shouldn't be blindly succuming in the name of a multicultural society that there religion denounces as the enemy.
