Is London's future Islamic?

This article is filled with so many half truths and lies that it should be in the fiction section of the paper, not the opinion! You have to read it yourself to get a laugh, because it is way to long to copy. Not worth it either! If it was not for the humoresque lies it would be a complete waste of space. Enjoy it for yourself!

Is London's future Islamic? - Features - London - Time Out London: "According to the 2001 census there are 607,083 Muslims living in London (310,477 men and 296,606 women). The majority of Muslims live in the east of the city and, by 2012, the Muslim Council of Britain estimates that the Muslim population of Tower Hamlets, Newham, Waltham Forest and Hackney will be 250,000. There are plans afoot (though no formal application has yet been submitted) to build the UKs biggest mosque – capable of welcoming 40,000 worshippers – near the 2012 Olympic site, a move which has prompted predictable outrage from some quarters. Consequently, Muslim disillionment with a reactionary and often ill-informed press is at an all time high.

But rather than fear the inevitable changes this will bring to London, or buy in to a racist representation of all Muslims as terrorists, we should recognise both what Islam has given this city already, and the advantages it would bring across a wide range of areas in the future."
