Army builds 'mosques' on North Yorkshire firing range

A Muslim group has demanded an apology from the British Army after it emerged that replica mosques were being used on a North Yorkshire firing range.

The chairman of the Bradford Council for Mosques (BCM) said the structures at Catterick should be taken down immediately.

The Ministry of Defence said it had "no intention" of causing offence.

The BMC said it was particularly angry as it had been assisting the army in its efforts to recruit more Muslims.

'Really disturbing'

Saleem Khan, the chief executive of the BCM, called for the Army to apologise.

"The first thing they need to do is remove this straight away," he said.

"They do owe apologies to the Muslim community and it is the mind set which needs changing."

1) Not mosques - just generic Middle-Eastern facades to give the troops a bit of local colour
2) Not intended for target practice anyway, contrary to some claims.
3) The army has apologised, regardless.
An account can be found in the Yorkshire Post, where they also have a poll - currently running at 71% in favour of using the facades.

Minarets can be disguised scuds. It is important they have fake minarets to fire at. These are only found on mosques. So fake mosques it is.

Hasn't there been the odd Mosque bombing?

PMSL!!
