To many temples and mosque not enough churches ,or not you tell me (122)
Jfuhrer: It seems that ever building that gets knocked down becomes a place of worship which has no relevance to the true British culture.
Should we say enough is enough ,or is this a good thing that the British are losing their own heritage.
Can the Brits go to India or Pakistani and so on and build 100s of churches in their capital city's.
Does the Brits give foreigners an inch ,and do they take a yard.

No in answer to your question we could not go to India and build Christian churches, there would be a great outcry i think. I have no objection to anyones religion or belief, but in the words of a saying, and i quote "When in Rome do as the Romans Do"

i have spent time in englsih churches
they are museums
no membership no attendants
many are rented out to other groups just to earn enough to keep the lights on.
why would it matter what type of churches go up anywhere if there are people who want to attend and why would a people complain when they have no desire to use these type of buildings (houses of worship)themselves?
and as far as various churches being in different countries what does it matter? churches and cultures are separate from and not tied to geographical locations-
they are museums

To fully understand the effects migration of people in any one country you either have to be born there or have lived there for sometime.
Society changes, but the subtle changes many people miss. Hence why there are many disgruntled people in the UK regarding this issue.

Have you ever visited the Hindu mosque in north London? It really is a fabulous building and inside it is truly beautiful, one day it will become a part of English heritage, yet built and paid for by those Foreigners you seem to dislike.
There are Christian churches in many countries where Christianity is not the first faith, even here in China.

I'm sure it does look beautiful ,but it will never be a British heritage ludicrous to think so.
In most most country they have there own symbolic symbols which represent them in there nation glory Ares should have nothing to do with Asia.
we have giving rights to these people who would not do the same for us on their homeland , it demoralize what we stand for as a British nation.
Unfair and unjustified

Far from being ludicrous,
The Mandir was awarded the ‘UK Pride of Place’ award in December 2007 by Government authorities after a nationwide online poll. After weeks of voting, the Mandir registered the largest number of votes across the country as well as in London, with an overwhelming 81% of votes from the London Borough of Brent.
Seven wonders of London
Time Out, the highly respected international city-guide publishers, declared the Mandir as one of the "Seven Wonders of London". In an "epic series... to pay tribute to... the capital’s seven most iconic buildings and landmarks", they embarked upon an ambitious search of London’s best. The Mandir featured among the choice seven.
Guinness World Records
In 2000, Guinness World Records presented two certificates to recognise the world record of offering 1,247 vegetarian dishes during the Annakut Festival held at the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, London on 27 October 2000, and secondly to recognise the largest traditionally built Hindu temple outside India.
The Eventful 20th Century – 70 Wonders of the Modern World
This prestigious Reader’s Digest publication (1998) prominently features the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, London, lauding its scale, intricate detail and the extraordinary story of how it was built and inspired by Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England
In the 1997/8 Annual Report of the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, the Mandir is featured, and is referred to as a "modern building of major importance in our multicultural society."
Most Enterprising Building Award
The Most Enterprising Building Award 1996 was awarded by the Royal Fine Art Commission & British Sky Broadcasting to the Swaminarayan Mandir in London on 5 June 1996.
Natural Stone Award
The Stone Federation issued a special award to the Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir in 1995 as part of its Natural Stone Awards.

Certain cultures in this country have been here many a year. they are now engrained, making them part of British Society. You know that but find it hard to accept. Your choice.
And what do we stand for in this country? Democracy springs to mind and acceptance of others.
Should look up what Cameron's policies are on the whole issue of immigration, will be interesting to see how he deals with this situation.
And do not forget how many countries this little place ransacked and raided in the name of colonialism.
