Birmingham Central Mosque, is a mosque in the Highgate area of Birmingham, England, run by the Birmingham Mosque Trust. ==History== Birmingham Central Mosque is one of the earliest purpose-built mosques in the United Kingdom. After initially raising money to lay the foundations of the mosque, funds ran dry. A possibility existed that Birmingham City Council would sell the land to another buyer if the mosque was not completed within two years. The mosque trustees therefore went to local businesses ― both Muslim and non-Muslim ― for donations. Soon enough, sufficient money was raised to pay for the building and completion of the mosque in 1969. The mosque was then officially opened in 1975. A golden dome was added to the top of the minaret in 1981. In 1986, the mosque sought and was granted permission to call prayer within certain limits. Between 1988 and 1990, Al-Hijrah School educated children in three rented rooms within the mosque before moving to Midland House in Small Heath.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Al-Hijrah ) 〕 In 2006, the West Midlands Fire Service put out a fire in the mosque. A fire began in an office in the building. It did not spread far, yet it caused damage to electronics and also destroyed paperwork. On September 2009, the English Defence League held a demonstration in Birmingham. Muslim youths were reportedly told by Birmingham Central Moqsue's leaders to confront the protesters. In December 2011 a man was arrested after making a Facebook threat to bomb the mosque.〔http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/12/12/man-arrested-after-facebook-threat-to-bomb-birmingham-mosque-115875-23630089/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Birmingham Central Mosque」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
