The highly controversial plans by the Tablighi Jamaat sect – accused by some of being a gateway to terror - would have created a so-called “megamosque” with 190-foot minarets and three times the floorspace of St Paul’s Cathedral. The 290,000 square foot mosque, near the Olympic Park in east London, would have accommodated up to 9,300 worshippers in two main gender-segregated prayer halls and a further 2,000 in a separate hall.

The first paragraph of that article alone shows that EVERYTHING is wrong with that mosque. We're talking about 11,300 Muslims being congregating in a mosque that has connections with terrorism and has being described as fostering fundamentalism and radicalism.
We're also talking about a building that is bigger and more domineering than St. Paul's. No modern church would ever be allowed 70m steeples and that large a floor space in an area like the Tower Hamlets.
And of course, we should ask how healthy and appropriate the segregation of men and women is in BRITISH society and how this segregation in a Mosque can be carried by muslims in their ideals into the street and workplace.
