i think it is an absolute insult to the people of york to want to build this design in our beautiful CATHEDRAL city! York is visited by millions every year for its cultural and historical heritage, and architecture, to think that in a few years i could be driving down the ring road n look out over the horizon at the view of the minster and the morrisons chimney stack and terrys n rowntrees that symbolize york's industrial input to the world, to see it spoilt by a new 3 storey mosque with dome and minarets!! I am not against the building of a new mosque, if you have seen the current one you would agree that it is an eyesore, i just dont see why it needs a dome and minarets! The design should be more in keeping with yorks local surroundings and not spoil the view of yorks beautiful sky line. After all like they said they will not be doing the morning call to prayer so why have the minarets. Not even new build churches have towers anymore!!
