Seems to me that the Daily Mail article is just digging up old news. It isn't saying anything of note on there about any new plans, just re-hashing what we already know, which is they had planning permission refused and the local council even tried to have them removed from their current site, which was overturned on appeal and an extension was granted for the site in it's current use, which expires this year.
If I was a cynic, I'd guess that the DM has dug this up to remind everyone about it just "in case" they get more time or get given planning permission for the new Mosque.

A mosque, a temple or a church are houses of god, why so scared ?
Would you rather have built a massage parlor, a strip joint, a liquor store or a gun shop in your area ???
Or you're just scared at the idea of 10 000 brown men gathering together ?

I suppose a different (and highly controversial) way of looking at it for those opposed would be that at least most of the Muslims would be in one place at certain times of the day!
What do you mean by that ?
Second line.

Personally I feel that it means "society" is bending over backwards for a specified religion.
Whereas no other religion has that precedent, besides presumably Catholics.
But their buildings have been standing for hundreds of years.
What does it mean?
Seems there is a plan afoot that the people have no say in or choice.
Almost like they are forcing you to go along with their agenda, or what-have-you.
Again, the serfs (taxpayers or non-politicians) are just that and should bow down.
The ruling class has spoken. Now, get on your knees!
That's exactly what it seems like to me.
Good job for getting the word out there!
You should help and definitely join a protest group.
At least you can say you tried to do something.
Rather than just talk about it...be about it!

Have you ever considered the Anglicans got special treatment because it IS the religion of England?
In March 2008 Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, co-founder of the Muslim Parliament of Great Britain, publicly opposed the construction of the mosque, stating that "We have too many mosques. I think it should not be built. What we need first is more integration between the existing mosques and the wider community."
Siddiqui's opposition joins that of Craig, together with that of Irfan Al-Alawi, the director of the Center for Islamic Pluralism Europe, who expressed extreme concern about the spread of Tablighi Jamaat

Now only 2.7% of the UK have muslim faith, but yet trying to build the biggest mosque in europe bang in the middle of london, who already have over 300 mosque's, so it's not as if they don't have any were to go, i believe the purpose of this mosque is to create a bigger muslim following in the UK and to try and implement the muslim dream of sharia law in the UK and Europe , which we don't want in the UK and especially not on my doorstep, i like to see the UK move away from the madness of religious ideology's.
Also, Saudi Arabia are funding this mega mosque but you wont find one church or for that matter any other religious temples in Saudi Arabia other then muslim temples, let alone a mega temple, do you really think the saudi would tolerate the west building a mega church in there capital...No they wouldn't, in-fact they would behead you for even thinking about it.
