Dudley residents were celebrating tonight as the local planning committee refused permission for a huge mosque in the city centre.
The mosque would have been built on industrial land close to the heart of Dudley. Local Christians were concerned about security issues, community cohesion, and the Islamicisation that would have followed building the centre.
Stephen Green, National Director of Christian Voice, said tonight:
'I am delighted that this mosque application has fallen at its first hurdle. It had started off claiming to be 'the pride of Dudley.' It had a minaret that would have made it the tallest building in Dudley, an important spiritual statement for Muslims with strong political overtones. Even the latest project had a minaret of some 65'.
