In fact, it usually looks quite 'plasticky' and recalls the episode of 'The Apprentice' when the contestants had to buy a cheap-looking alarm clock.<br /><br />Directly from the front, views of the mosque will include the local winos congregating in the little 'Stone Henge' garden to the side of the Ring O' Bells.<br /><br />Further to Anonymous' comments, one of the other set-backs the mosque experienced was idiots throwing pig parts (a couple of times actual pigs' heads) into the building during its already protracted building time.<br /><br />I'd love to see a picture of the small, old Unitarian Church that was there before the mosque.Olafrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-73547165651568679182010-04-14T19:10:31.773+01:002010-04-14T19:10:31.773+01:00That's right Lily, I too heard that same story...That's right Lily, I too heard that same story from my sisterAshtonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669236045514900658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-39419452533211011832010-04-14T18:44:14.794+01:002010-04-14T18:44:14.794+01:00A great angle

They hired a builder to construct it but he did a runner with all the money. So the Mosque had to be constructed over several years while chunks of money were raised. Its only recently been finished.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-10400042619297705862010-04-14T04:42:30.247+01:002010-04-14T04:42:30.247+01:00great M post.great M post.dianasfaria.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488357854017358868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-66024810590281118722010-04-14T04:14:41.580+01:002010-04-14T04:14:41.580+01:00Nice capture and a good choice for the letter M.Nice capture and a good choice for the letter M.photowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760961275666768173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-71970790351599931902010-04-14T01:35:52.743+01:002010-04-14T01:35:52.743+01:00Never been to a mosque; I'll have to rectify t...Never been to a mosque; I'll have to rectify that, since there are some in town. this one is quite lovely.<br /><br />ROG, ABC Wednesday teamRoger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-63815546250365969972010-04-13T23:22:35.133+01:002010-04-13T23:22:35.133+01:00What lovely mosque!
