Newham “mega mosque” plans rejected by councillors

Else Kvist Wednesday, December 5, 2012 

Plans for a “mega mosque” in Newham have been turned down by councillors.

Thousands of supporters of the mosque had gathered outside Stratford Old Town Hall ahead of the meeting of Newham Council’s Strategic Development Committee this evening.

A small counter protest against the mosque had also gathered.

The plans to erect the Riverine Centre, also known as Abbey Mills Mosque, were put forward by trustees following the Tabilighi Jamaat movement.

Councilors voted unanimously to turn the plans down, siding with the recommendations of council officers who said the plans should be rejected.

At 29,227sq m the proposed complex was more than three times the floorspace of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Share the faith? Not for this Doveton pastor

Anti-Islam Pastor Daniel Nalliah says his church, Catch the Fire Ministries, is weeks away from building a $2 million church on an industrial lot in Green Stre

THEY call each other brother, but they can’t yet pray as neighbours.et, Doveton.

But he intends to oppose moves to build a mosque next door, promoted by former Afghanistan government minister Khaliq Fazal.

Mr Fazal said the Omar Farooq Mosque, which would include a community centre and car park, would replace the nearby mosque in Photinia Street where the community has met for the past 16 years.

He said that the residential area was now too small to accommodate its 500 worshippers from different countries.

The City of Casey approved plans for the church in July 2011 and planners are now considering the mosque’s application.

Planning manager Duncan Turner said the council would take into account ”local and state planning policy, the impact on industrial land supply, the intensity of the activities, scale of the building and amenity issues such as car parking”.

Deputy mayor Sam Aziz said he wanted to reserve his view for the council debate early next year, but that ”it would be a very sad day in this country if religion was to come into our decision-making”.I suggest you get to know a lot more before you write your story because what you might find will actually horrify you.”Councillor Aziz said ”the perception in the community is that sometimes in these places words are stated and sermons are given that are not necessarily peaceful. ”Do you know much about Islam?

Mr Fazal, 61, a former minister of public works in Afghanistan, is now a consultant and the public face of those supporting the mosque. ”This is a multicultural country and a multi-faith country. There is a Fijian mosque and a church next to each other on Hallam Road and there is no problem whatsoever.”

When he met Pastor Nalliah for the first time on the barren, weedy Green Street lot the two men shook hands and chatted amicably until Pastor Nalliah said: ”We don’t approve of Nazi ideology but that doesn’t mean that we hate the Germans.

”Frankly,” Pastor Nalliah said, ”I don’t think we can live side by with a mosque next to us based on what’s happening in Europe.”

Gold Coast & Brisbane great success / Perth Catching the Fire / RUA Prayer Melbourne this Fri / Live webcast with Pr Daniel on Sun 9th Dec

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) Several weekends ago, Pr Daniel ministered in the Gold Coast & Brisbane, which was a great success as many were mightily touched by the power of God!

In the Gold Coast at the Rise up Australia Party meeting on Friday the 23rd of Nov, Pr Daniel addressed a public gathering at the Southport Workers Club. The RUA Party QLD State Exec was very encouraged as around 80-100 people attended the meeting. The RUAP Gold Coast branch did a fantastic job in organizing this meeting. All who gathered were very challenged and greatly encouraged through Pr Daniel’s speech. As he finished the speech, people stood up, started clapping and would not stop!

On Sat & Sun, the meetings in 3 different locations in Brisbane were just glorious! Many responded to the altar call and received a mighty touch from God. Sunday night was possibly the highlight of the weekend as the church in Redcliff was packed out with people from many different churches. At one point while Pr Daniel was speaking, the presence of the Holy Ghost fell in the meeting so powerfully that the people got up, shouting, clapping, speaking in tongues and some were weeping!

Some people gathered described it as a “Holy Ghost explosion!”  It was just absolutely wonderful with people rejoicing and shouting for joy as Pr Daniel shared the vision to take Australia for Jesus. The meeting went for almost four hours, but the people were just glued to their seats, as the presence of God was so great! This church meets every day at 6am to pray for revival.

People were greatly excited to hear the news of RUA Party. As they heard the slogan “Keep Australia Australian”, they started clapping. Many signed up for membership. Many others stated, “Thank God for the hope He has brought back into our lives!”

Last Sat, the RUA Party Candidate Training Day for Victoria went very well, with around 25-30 potential candidates in attendance. We thank the Lord for a mighty army of men and women of God who are getting ready to storm parliament in order to protect our Judeo-Christian Heritage and Keep Australia Australian!

2) All glory to God for His Holy Spirit revival fire outpouring over the last several weekend in Perth at 4 different churches (Pro-Israel and Miracle Healing Meetings) where Evangelist Jason ministered the prophetic Word of the Lord, as more precious souls were born-again into the Kingdom of Heaven (including many children and young people), with many others healed, delivered, set free, restored, revived, transformed and revolutionised by the manifest presence, glory and love of our Almighty Father in Heaven!

People at every service were fired-up about Rise Up Australia Party as they took many brochures to hand out to their families, friends, neighbours and others.

Gay Marriage Push Should Be Abandoned, Say 71 Percent of Britain’s Tory Party Grassroots Members

By Daniel Blake , Christian Post Contributor October 8, 2012

British Prime Minister David Cameron should drop his proposals to redefine marriage, according to a poll of his grassroots Conservative Party members.

The ComRes poll was commissioned by the Coalition for Marriage and found that a massive 71 percent of Conservative constituency chairmen believe Cameron should abandon his aggressive push to amend the definition of marriage of between one man and one woman.

The poll has also found that 47 percent of those polled believed that Cameron’s liberal stance on gay marriage had come at a cost to the party.

Furthermore, more than 70 percent believed that Cameron’s push for same sex marriage regardless of what others felt had damaged the prime minister’s standing in the party. Only 11 percent believed that his liberal agenda had enhanced his reputation within the party.

Wake Up, America: Advice from a Pakistani Christian

Charisma News –  10/3/2012 J. Lee Grady

 My friend Amir is a marked man. I can’t even use his real name because Muslim extremists in his native Pakistan want to kill him.

Last month while Muslims were burning churches and murdering Americans in the Middle East to protest a low-budget film about Islam, I spent a few days with Amir, who attends Bible college in the United States. Raised a Presbyterian, Amir’s belief in Jesus puts him in the minority in Pakistan.

Amir has seen anti-Christian violence erupt in his country many times. When he was a boy, a classmate boasted of starting a fire that burned an entire Christian town. In 2010 terror hit the city of Faisalabad when two pastors were accused of blaspheming Muhammad. Assassins shot and killed both pastors while police watched.

In August of this year a Christian girl in Pakistan was arrested and accused of desecrating a copy of the Quran—a capital offense under Islamic law. Later, after a Muslim cleric was arrested on charges of framing the girl, local Muslims continued to call for her death—along with anyone who defended her. One Muslim from the girl’s village was quoted by reporters as saying: “Pour petrol and burn these Christians!”

I interviewed my friend Amir to gain insight into how Americans should view this growing conflict. He put things into perspective with these three points:

1. Realize that God is moving in powerful ways in Islamic countries. Despite the violence we hear about daily, all the news is not negative. Muslims are coming to know Jesus—often because of supernatural demonstrations of the Holy Spirit. Amir’s family witnessed a miracle in 2005 when his younger sister was healed of total blindness. They began attending a Pentecostal church and now have helped plant three congregations.

Reports of church growth, conversions and evangelism campaigns are not aired on network television, but they are widespread—in Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and other Islamic nations. “It is true that a lot of Muslims want to learn about Christianity,” Amir says.

Many pastors and hundreds of people gather at CTFM & RUAP meetings in the Gold Coast / Live webcast with Pr Daniel this Sun 18th Nov

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) It is with great excitement and joy that we report that the CTFM & RUAP meetings in the Gold Coast over the last weekend were a great success with Pastor Daniel as the guest speaker.

Pr Daniel met with the QLD RUA Party State Exec and the members of RUAP Gold Coast branch on Friday night, just after he arrived in the Gold Coast. On Saturday morning, he addressed a Minister’s Breakfast at the Country Golf Club, organised by the RUAP branch in the Gold Coast. This Breakfast was attended by more than 50 church leaders from many denominations and churches, including a local Anglican Archbishop who opened the meeting in prayer.

As National President of Rise Up Australia Party, Pr Daniel challenged all present to rise up and ‘Keep Australia Australian’ for the next generation.

He said, “If we do not stand up now, we might not get another opportunity in our generation to make a stand to protect our Judeo-Christian Heritage to save Australia and keep it Australian!”

His address was well received with much excitement from all present. Many pastors pledged their support for RUA Party.

Pr Daniel also spoke on Saturday night, Sunday morning & evening at the Reach Out For Christ Church in the Gold Coast.

People from 10 different churches attended the meetings. Some of these Holy Spirit revival meetings had more than 250 people in attendance. People were mightily touched by the Word of God and the powerful personal life testimony of Pr Daniel and his family.  He also shared the vision God gave him to take Australia for Jesus by 2020.

Sharia courts ‘as consensual as rape’, House of Lords told

The Daily Telegraph ^ | 10/20/12 | John Bingham

MUSLIM women in Britain are being forced to “live in fear” because of the spread of unofficial and unregulated sharia courts enforcing Islamic rules, the House of Lords was told.

Rulings by informal religious “councils” and tribunals are sometimes no more “consensual” than rape, peers were told.

The warnings came in the first ever full Parliamentary debate on the subject in the UK.

Baroness Cox, the independent peer and Third World campaigner, last year tabled a private member’s bill in the Lords setting out plans to rein in a network of unofficial self-styled “courts” which apply Islamic principles.
