News that bothers me is use of replica mosques in firing range in UK. So what they want to convey by doing this? They want to train their troops, yes I know this. But what they really want to achieve? Let’s go to Waziristan, and tribal areas. Mosques were targeted and kids were killed mercilessly. You may ask why they will do it. Answer is simple, if you’re trained on hatred, and by hitting a religious place (replica) doesn’t matter to you, let’s embrace it as you wouldn’t expect anything different from these tyrants. According to BBC...
The chairman of the Bradford Council for Mosques (BCM) said the structures at Catterick should be taken down immediately. The Ministry of Defence said it had "no intention" of causing offence.Watch Video at BBC website
Saleem Khan, the chief executive of the BCM, called for the Army to apologise. "The first thing they need to do is remove this straight away," he said. "They do owe apologies to the Muslim community and it is the mind set which needs changing."
There are seven of the structures on the range at Bellerby, which have green domed roofs. Ishtiaq Ahmed of the BCM said that they were undoubtedly meant to resemble mosques.
"The shape of the structures, the colour of the dome - the green dome - symbolizes an Islamic place of worship," he said.
