From the Tottenham Journal: 23 September 2010 A GROUP of daredevils will climb the UK's tallest mountain to raise £10,000 for a mosque. Fourteen young Muslim men will scale Ben Nevis and plan to pitch a flag at the mountain's 4,409 ft summit on Saturday. The group includes a bus driver, teacher, civil servant, entrepreneur and students, and they hope to contribute towards the £1 million redevelopment of Tottenham Mosque. Organiser and climber Areeb Ullah, 18, a student and youth worker of Higham Road, Tottenham, said: "To be honest, I'm scared if anything because we only came up with the idea a month ago and now it's round the corner. Now all these little things are creeping up - am I fit, no, am I ready, no, am I asthmatic, yes! "We're all really nervous, we've got an attack of the nerves, but because it's for such a good cause, we're ready. Everybody's really determined to raise a lot of money and climb the mountain." The group, including 10 who live in Tottenham, are completing circuit training to build stamina for the ascent and each climber has pledged to raise £500 - but nearly half have already beaten that target and they are confident of raising £10,000. Nearly 30 years ago Tottenham Mosque was set up in a disused glass factory in Clyde Road, South Tottenham, but in April it was demolished to make way for the area's first purpose-built mosque. The building's outer structure is already complete and it will provide larger prayer facilities for both men and women and the first purpose-built youth space for young Muslims in Haringey. Despite turbulent economic times the community has raised just over £500,000 to pay for the rebuild, but needs to raise the same again to complete the new mosque. "This is just the beginning and one of many ideas in the pipeline that the youth group hope to fulfil in order to raise money for the mosque," said Mr Ullah. "It's going to show that young people, especially in Haringey, make a positive mark on their community." To sponsor the climbers you can visit www.justgiving.com/tottenhammosque |

I was thinking the same thing. Climing Ben Nevis really isn't that much of a challenge though is it? I thought it can be done in about 3-4 hours if the weather is good. |

Cuh! ANOTHER mosque! They should be charged with incitement to hatred for this. Y'see, they raise the money, the mosque goes ahead, we (The True British) get upset over a minor thing like the invasion of our country by islam and BINGO - riots on the street (evenyually). Get my point? Mmm...... |

This money along with $100 million earmarked for the ground zero mosque would be much better spent on the Flood appeal. I don't understand why there is nothing in the news about an oil rich Sharia governed state contributing to their Muslim brothers in their hour of need? Has anyone seen such a donation in the news, I will of course eat my words if proven wrong. I have not contributed a sausage to this appeal as I took a step back and "thought would they help us if the shoe was on the other foot?". Not to take any morale high ground but I did contribute to the tsunami enough to build a temporay house, so I'm not some heartless ogre.... So instead I adopted a British Squaddie through facebook http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=137786816248806&ref=ts I sent 3 shoe boxes of stuff for one of the lads. |

I think that with all the problems of poverty within islam the money could be better spent. When I was involved with a church plant on the estate renting a place to worship was the last thing we done, the money was needed elsewhere. I was going to write some snotty remarks but then thought that if they were a Christian goup I would praise them so I will just say stay safe |

Let's hope it pours with rain on the day. I attempted it once, but only managed a 1/3rd of the way as it was the last part of the 3 peeks challenge. They won't be allowed to leave the flag there. |

Most likely find some sign or collection of rocks up there which will spell out the word Allah, and then they will claim that it was climbed by a Muslim before the Scots did it,and it will therefore follow that Scotland has always been Islamic. The same thing happened in Australia where an Immam noticed the similarity between some aboriginal words and Arabic words and claimed that Australia was discovered by the Arabs, well before the Dutch and the Brits did. |

I'd compare having to deal with Islam on a daily basis to climbing a mountain. sounds about right. I only wish life could be more simple. I totally believe we could achieve so much more without the having Islam to worry about. |
