In the shadow of the glass and steel skyscrapers of London's Square Mile, hundreds of� Muslims kneel in the street for Friday prayers.
Yesterday's hour-long service a stone's throw from the heart of the financial district proved so popular that worshippers filled the streets around the tiny community mosque.
City workers in pinstripe suits mixed with Muslims from the local Bangladeshi community, cramming into the streets beside a Bentley and other parked cars.
The Brune Street mosque, in Spitalfields, East London, is the nearest mosque for Friday prayers for many City workers and others from Brick Lane and Whitechapel.
It is a one-room community mosque with a maximum capacity of 100, so when some 300 turn up for Friday midday prayers locals have become accustomed to seeing worshippers kneeling in the surrounding streets, all facing Mecca.
'You get the whole community, everyone from City boys to� people from the local area. It's great being outside on a day like today, but it's not so much fun when it rains.
'Some people are surprised when they come into the area on a Friday - seeing that many people praying outside together is not an everyday sight in the UK.
'You wouldn't know unless you were looking for it, but it's right in the middle of the City.'
Salam, good find. I've removed the link though as that page is full of naked women on the right hand side of the page.
Also, to all those who read that site, the high number of negative ratings on comments actually means positive and high number of positive ratings on comments means its usually negative towards Islam so just smile at their ignorance and hatred. Best is to comment positively here instead where only good people will most likely read it.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
