The Aziz Foundation is connected to a network of extremist and terrorist organizations. As a ‘Muslim philanthropist’, Asif Aziz has written for The Forum, journal of the Muslim Charities Forum (MCF), which was stripped of £250,000 in state funding in 2014 after its links with the Union of Good were exposed, a designated terrorist organization created to fund the militant group Hamas. At least six of the ten charities in the MCF are or were members of the Union of Good, which was identified by the U.S. Treasury as an organization created by Hamas leadership to transfer funds to the terrorist organization.

The point being is that there is not a lot of Muslims in that area. I could understand this if there was. But it's in the middle of an entertainment area, theatres and clubs etc. and the only reason I could fathom is they are exercising their power by building a Mosque in a place where a Mosque should not be, putting their stamp on the area. So how long till they start complaining about the "debauched" area and the sort of people in that area.

Not sure if this will create unrest considering there are already mosques in London. However, there is some potential controversy surrounding Asif Aziz and his Aziz foundation.

Granted, the article does not provide direct sources to this claim, so I can't verify the authenticity of the article.
Islam is the fastest growing religion and I don't doubt that more large mosques will be built in western countries. Personally, I'm a bit conflicted. I don't think any religion should face discrimination. However, Islam is the most oppressive large religion. And its very relectunt to embrace modern ideas of gender equality, LGBTQ, and the freedom to allow people to make fun of their religion.
