Following our article on the lawlessness of Islam and why mosques are bad news for the Queen’s peace<\/a>, at last some good news.<\/p>\n

A planning application for a ‘megamosque’ in Dudley, named ‘The Pride of Dudley’ by those behind the application, was refused last month (September 2011).<\/p>\n

Despite last minute alterations and changes to the design by the applicant, members of the Development Control Committee unanimously refused the multi-million pound proposal from Dudley Muslim Association, calling it \u201ccharacterless\u201d, \u201cfeatureless”. \u201cinappropriate\u201d and an \u201calien feature\u201d, according to Dudley News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dr Kurshid Ahmed, chairman of the town’s Muslim association, said the decision was “Islamophobic”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In some further good news, Dudley Council says it plans to start proceedings to take back control of the site<\/a>, which was sold to the DMA on condition that the Council should buy it back\u00a0 in the absence of an approved plan by 2008.<\/p>\n

A mosque proposal has also been defeated in Maidenhead.\u00a0 However, a proposal for a mosque in Green Lane, Dagenham, was approved by the Labour-controlled council in March, possibly under the impression that it would be a ‘community centre<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: We are in touch with a planning lawyer (Gavin Boby) who assures us that it is possible to stop mosques at the planning stage if we know about the application early enough.\u00a0 If any of our members feel called to keep a weather-eye open for such applications by devoting an hour or two a week to various council websites, please let us know<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Likewise if you want Stephen to come to your church and share about Islam and how we can seek the Lord to oppose it and win!<\/p>\n

P.S. It was reported in 2014 that planning permission was granted for the Dudley Hall Street Mosque, but as at September 2025 it is not clear if the mosque was ever built.<\/p>\n
