I don't mind about Islam itself. I do mind about the fact that most muslims here do not want to confirm to European culture. If you move to another country, you must adapt to it.
If they come here, they can believe what they want. But they must adapt to our establishment, and not demand of us natives to adapt to theirs.
Which is why the plans for the mosque were met with a considerable amount of resistance from the neighbourhood. We don't want minarets, we don't want calls of prayers. And we certainly don't want all parking spots in the neighbourhood to be taken by mosque goers while there's not enough room now already.
