Alhamdulillah, the masterplan for Masjid Ilyas (London Markaz / Riverine Centre) was submitted on 5th Spetember 2012. They are now in the last stages of the planning application. therefore Newham Council have started a PUBLIC CONSULTATION.
No matter what school of thought you follow (if any) and what opinions you hold with regards to Tabligh Jamaat, i call on the ummah to stand side-by-side with fellow muslims (yes TJ's are Muslims) and unite in the face of opposition from Newham Council, politicians, journalists and other prominent non-Muslims. Those who oppose Islam do not distinguish which school of thought you follow, they oppose Islam, full stop!
Newham Council have a very hostile policy to Muslims when it come to planning permission for Masjids, Islamic schools, etc. They have been clear policies of ensuring Islamic institutions do not thrive in their area. Their opposition is not hidden, they openly show this.
Please be aware that the opposition have gone to great lengths (various leaflet drops, high street protests, articles in local newspapers) to create fear in the local community and will hope that this fear will force the locals to speak against this planning application. With this in mind we need to make sure as many Muslims as possible show support for this application.
A part of the ummah need your help. Help meaning we need you to take some action (firing out some emails - it will take 10 minutes of your time, Insha-Allah). Please don't only forward this email to your list of contacts and forget about doing your bit (which usually happens), please make sure you show your support personally.
Regarding the Riverine Centre, application ref: 12/00358/LTGOUT.
I fully support the application for the Riverine Centre.

It would be good if you can do this for every member of you household ove the age of 16. If these can be sent from different emaill addresses then even better. Please try your best to send a separate email for each member of the family. If you are writing on behalf of some please mention this (that you are writing on behalf of such and such a person), this increases the level of support).
