“A political and religious uproar has erupted in Great Britain over news that the British Army trained troops for the Afghanistan mission by having them fire on replica mosques. A British Muslim group is demanding that the UK military immediately disband seven replica mosques built on an army firing range in northern England. The flat cut-outs were appear to have been placed as the targets at the Bellerby firing range at the British Army's Catterick Garrison in the north of England.

    It is so obvious. Even a non-Muslim recognized the significance. The
    first person who raised the issue with us was a non-Muslim,'' he told

    But to all this I say. Its not the first time you have done this O Demonic Island.
