I HAVE read with amusement the letters concerning the mosque, people of Dudley are accused of being bigots, obnoxious people, ignorant, intolerant and of course racist.

Personally I consider the people of Dudley to be very wise in objecting to the mosque and must be congratulated for their efforts - at last the people have stood up for themselves and not allowed others to walk all over them.

The reason given by the council for turning down the proposal was laughable.

If it were true why was the proposal allowed to go ahead, also why did the planning department recommend it?

I believe the issue of the mosque will rise again, so be prepared people, because you cannot trust this council, they will deliberately mislead you.
