Too many places of worship?

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Too many places of worship?

Do Asian places of worship create too many problems for the areas they're built in?

Do Asian places of worship create too many problems for the areas in which they are built? Plus the guru is family lawyer Aina Khan, who answers all your questions.

At 1, Nihal asks 
Do Asian places of worship create too many problems for the areas they're built in?

The new four million pound Shri Swaminarayan Mandir is due to open this weekend in Leicester. While it's a great achievement and a cause for celebration for Hindus in the city, problems do occur when a new Mosque, Temple or Gurdwara opens, especially in a residential area. There's parking issues, noise and the the fact some people don't want concentrated religious activity on their doorstep.

What's happened when a new religious centre has opened on your doorstep? Has it caused you problems? Have you been involved in a campaign to stop a new place opening? Or do you think religious places of worship bring communities together? Call Nihal and tell him what you think. 


At 2, Our Guru this week is Family Lawyer Aina Khan who will answer all your questions regarding marriage, divorce and custody battles. Make sure you call, text or email early so that she can answer your query.
