The first (and hopefully only) mosque may be appearing in Stornoway. The article presents what I believe is everyone's concerns when a new mosque appears.
We stress that we have nothing against individual Muslims, least of all any who have been forced to flee their homelands because of persecution and suffering. Our desire and prayer for those who have made their way to Scotland and other parts of the UK is that they would hear the gospel of Christ and find the way of salvation, coming to know the love, grace and forgiveness of God.
That's most likely because they're in the minority. If they were in the majority I'm sure the story would have been quite different.have never ever encountered a Muslim that was not gracious and open.

Yet.

What makes you think it requires a mosque to do so?What diabolical acts do you think the tiny community is planning that specifically require a mosque to carry out?
Obviously not. But then I'm sure you already know how this rabbit trail will end so do you really want to go there?Are you making the claim that Christianity is an Idolatrous or Polytheistic faith?
What makes you think it requires a mosque to do so?
You seem to be a reasonably intelligent person to which I'm rather surprised that you would ask such questions since I'm sure you must already know the answers. However, if you insist that I answer them then I will.Um...aren't you shooting yourself in the foot here? If it doesn't require a mosque (which it doesn't), then how can the mosque be such an object of heightened concern? In fact, I would think the exact opposite argument could be made, if you want to approach things from that view: let them have the mosque, because then there's a centralized place you can go to, inspect/monitor, or at least treat as a focal point for the community such that those who do not go to it despite it being available might more easily single themselves out as all the more suspicious.
