Mosques being built

[lobs211]

Bendigo is in the goldfields - beautiful old buildings, unbelievable gardens, right into sport, really good looking place.

Very multi cultural - stong Indigenous history, huge Chinese history (museum, gardens, joss house etc etc), heaps of Karen refugess, biggest Buddhist Temple and Centre so u can see it very multi cultural

What we dont have is a mosque. What the Muslims are planning to build is a mosque.

OMG = Shame Job = people are protesting, I am so embarrassed by these people. Why these people do this? Are they ignorant or what? Or are they really truly scared these Muslims (Who live here already) are all of a sudden gonna turn into terrorists cos they have a mosque?  This is very weird.................. they pray now but at the Uni, there be a prayer room, whatever thats called, they want there own place.

So I ask these people - "What exactly is the problem here?" And I get stuff like "terrorists, go home to their own country (When they say this I lift an eyebrow and stare at em but they miss it ofcourse)

Im not Muslim, I dont even know a Muslim but I dont understand one bit why we protest against people wanting a church, this embarrasses me LOL

Do you people have mosques near you? Is this a big deal?

I like threads like this where you find out stuff that is going on in other areas, with input from people in that area, as the OP is.

Looks like some people don't read their local paper regularly to keep themselves up to date with local controversies.

I've had a bit more to deal with at a local and personal level recently .

No mosque where I am, we have an Sikh temple as there are a lot of Indians where I am..

I can't imagine it will be too long before we have a mosque, given the amount of refugees we seem to end up with.

If you had to get stuck with any religious institution in your 'backyard' best that it would be a synagog or a mosque - both religions are unable to drive on their religious days so they have to walk. So not sure why parking is always used as an excuse by the anti-groups.

And yes I do live near a massive mosque with a multitude of smaller ones in the suburb around me. The biggest issue for me is dodging whole families walking to their mosque as I drive around.
