Obviously not. But then I'm sure you already know how this rabbit trail will end so do you really want to go there?

No, I don’t know how the rabbit trail will end.

What makes you think it requires a mosque to do so?

Then why haven’t they done something in the last ten+ years that they have been in the community? Why isn’t anyone complaining about the obviously terrorist supporters that make up the city council that approved this mosque?

The Isle of Lewis is pretty remote and heavily Presbyterian at least around the majority of the population. Perhaps, he doesn't want to bad mouth fellow Christians? Otherwise I don't know either.

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.
I was expecting the article to be about fears of terrorism funding.

Their main concern is literally just that it's a place of worship for a different religion? Something that doesn't teach Christian beliefs? Oh, boohoo.
Fundamentally, Islam utterly denies the divine Person and redeeming work of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to satisfy the justice of God, that He might grant forgiveness to sinners.
What is the significance of this? Is this supposed to be a complaint? If the Christian churches want that to be taught, that's their problem. Not anyone else's problem or responsibility. It's got nothing to do with the rest of us.

This would make a great Onion article if you flipped the script to someone complaining about a new Christian church that doesn't teach about Thor.

Would not think Stornaway will take a nose dive because of this,

but I understand your concern,

I have known a few people from the isles, terrific people, even if a little quaint,

Great workers, many manned Ben Line ships,

Yeah, terrific people.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that there was a time limit on such things. My mistake. Anyway, how long were they in the French community before they committed their atrocities? In London? In Belgium?

I also wasn't aware that "terrorist supporters" needed to be on city councils before such atrocities could be given the green light. I thought they wouldn't need local political approval before they can do so? Apparently I'm very ignorant about such things...until now. Live and learn I guess.

Honestly I have no idea, and you seem to be the resident expert on the terrorist activities committed by the small Muslim community at Stornoway. Tell us, how long did the residents of Stornoway live in the French community, London and Belgium before they committed acts of terrorism?

Wait, is this church asking that God destroy the mosque through hellfire or something?

At any rate, as someone who is neither religion I find it pretty rich that one religion is complaining about yet another one coming in.

I'd think that if you weren't Muslim them the mosque wouldn't interest you since you wouldn't be attending anyways.
