Not in my back yard ?

[BertiWooster]

Some of the citizens of Lichfield are up in arms over plans being put forward by the Muslim community there, to build a mosque near the Cathedral .

Apparently over 2000 signatures against the idea have been collected .

There are mixed views from people in the city , asked for their opinions , on the local television news .

1. Some say no , fullstop
2. Others say yes but not near to the Cathedral
3. Then there are those who say - what is the problem ?

Is there anything special about Lichfield , as opposed to any other city where there is a mosque ?
Afterall , other faith groups have places of worship in the city , without there being any problems

What is your opinon on the matter - are they right to be up in arms ?

AOG, there are two mosques in my area that were formerly churches. The Christians didn't want them any more (because of declining congregations). Another church has become a block of flats. On the whole, I'd sooner see one turn into a mosque than a block of flats, as it would at least be used for its original purpose, but I'm sentimental.

As for St Paul's... cathedral or tourist attraction? I believe the current entry fee is �9.50.
