Muslim peer: Axe minarets to make new UK mosques look ‘quintessentially English’ so they ‘fit in’
- Tory chairman Baroness Warsi says many mosques in Britain are ‘ugly’
- Says minarets are no longer needed as call to prayer is on loud speaker
- Thinks that without minarets, mosques could look like village churches
New mosques should be built without minarets to make them look ‘quintessentially English’ and fit in with the landscape, according to former Tory chairman Baroness Warsi.
Warsi, Britain’s first Muslim Cabinet Minister, is to launch a nationwide competition to design a new mosque as part of a campaign to boost religious tolerance.
She claimed many of those in Britain are ‘ugly’, and that if new ones were built without minarets they could even look like a traditional village church. She also said the aim of her idea was to develop an ‘authentic British Islamic brand’.

Baroness Warsi said historically, the function of the tower on mosques was to issue the call to prayer. Now the call is made by a loudspeaker, so Minarets (pictured on the Central London Mosque) are no longer necessary
‘We need a debate about what British Islam will look like in ten years’ time,’ she told The Mail on Sunday.
‘There is a saying in Islamic thinking that Islam is like a river that takes the colour from the bed over which is flows, the bed being the country in which it is found. Here, the river of Islam flows over an English river bed and so it should reflect its colour.’
