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 wouldnt have a clue if there is a mosque in my town or not, the only objection i would have is if they built it next door to me - i have lived beside 2 churches and never wish to live near any again.

noisy dang worshippers interfering with my sunday morning sleep ins  grrr.

  an orthodox church at easter makes a bit of a mess, i lived a few doors away and the entire street was covered in red eggshells

good photo opportunity, would look good, maybe enter in the photo comp.

there was one car park at the church i mentioned for the priest, so yes the streets were full all around there as well. i guess a lot of the places of worship have that in common.

 the locals used to complain a bit boris, and most of them were orthodox.

the Jews built a cinagog???spelling?  in a outer Perth suburb they used all used materials. they have never got around to rendering the outside. it looks horrible.

is this where the Jews being tight comes from?

  i think it a myth , the synagogues i have seen are fairly lavish. there is one in this area and it has virtually no congregation from what i can see. the old one in the city in Adelaide was sold and coverted into a nightclub 20 years ago.

look how close my spelling was...no wonder spell check spat it at me

this building is horrid

I remember a few years ago the LDS built a temple in Adelaide.

No expense spared, Italian marble, gold Gabriel adorning the roof, the whole shebang.

Lots of gates, security and big fences, I guess they don't want the hoi-polloi (well non-LDS folk) to bother them.

They had a few open days, got a huge attendance (there's not much happening in Adelaide), after that I think it's pretty much shut to non-believers.

Sort of reminds me of the opening of a temple in Adelaide of a different kind - back in 2006 I think - there were thousands there, traffic jams, media everywhere, threw Adelaide into a right tizz.

It was a Temple of vast proportions, a temple to Consumerism known as "Ikea"

maybe the builder is messing them around ,  an orthodox church in Melbournes outskirts used to look pretty spartan in besser brick , but looks better now that the render is on.  it did take at least 10 or 15 years, maybe they were waiting on donations to the building fund ? the local Anglican cathedral is always fundraising to keep the slate roof from falling off and there is always masonry being repaired too. the fundraising never stops.

i've managed to get in for a look around at one, they had a massive indoor baptisimal pool and heaps of fabric everywhere hanging curtain style . it was meant to be a representation of heaven i think.
