Flight to Spain Cancelled Due to Mega Mosque!

I kid you not! An armada of our great British travellers, on route to experience the pleasures of Costa del Sol, were thrown into absolute disarray last week when they were informed their flight was cancelled. Not because the engine had fallen off or the pilot forgetting he’d left his oven on back home – no, that would be far too reasonable. No, dear reader, the reason for the grounded flights? A nascent ‘mega mosque’ in Birmingham, clearly visible from the sky, had aroused East Midlands’ air traffic controllers’ fear of accidentally kick-starting World War 3!

Birmingham: The Unexpected Epicentre of Global Politics

Against all odds, the land of curry-laden Balti Triangle and infamous Spaghetti Junction has now become the epicenter of global politics. Unbeknownst to most of us, a mosque is no longer just a place of worship, oh no, it poses a significant threat to… well, anything and everything you’d imagine! At least according to the armchair theorists and Reform UK enthusiasts.

Mega Mosque: How Dare They Pray!

And it’s not just any mosque. It’s a mega mosque! What’s that, you may ask? Does it spit fiery sermons across the cityscape, raining down Sharia law? Is it equipped with hidden missile silos? Does it broadcast the adhan with a booming, citywide surround-sound system capable of triggering seismic activities? Actually, no. It’s just a… mosque, but it’s pretty big… and that, apparently, is reason enough for our fledgeling fearmongers.

Local Fishmonger Outraged

Derek, a local fishmonger and self-declared fantasist, articulated his dread: “One day, I suddenly noticed this massive building while catching up on my morning vape. It might be an Islamic Death Star for all we know! Better safe than sorry, eh?” Indeed, Derek, better to cancel all flights and ground the economy than take a chance on this menacing architectural marvel.

The Ultra-Serious Threat List

• IMMINENT JIHAD: Top of the ultra-not-so-possible list is a Shariah coup, where everyone will be forced to wear burqas and cease beer consumption at 3 pm, Thursday afternoons. Because that’s what people worshiping inside mosques are always scheming, according to Derek and his crew.
• BRITISH BILTONG: The mosque, given its menacingly large kitchen, might attempt to force-feed us Halal biltong. Because everyone knows Halal meat has the power to rewire human thought processes and turn us all into devout followers of Islam.
• THE SHARIA TSA: There is, apparently, a real danger of having to remove our shoes and hats every time we fly over a mosque. Because who knows, those air traffic controllers could secretly be employing Binocular Sharia Surveillance.
• SHOEHORNED INTO SUJUD: For some reason, our far-right compatriots fear they’ll be shoehorned into learning the “Call to Prayer”. Trust me, if years of schooling couldn’t force Shakespearean prose into Derek’s head, the Adhan doesn’t stand a chance.

Satirical Call-to-Action

So, fellow compatriots, we must mobilize! It is upon us to propose solutions to contain this looming threat of mega mosques. Ideas could range from creating oversized bacon butties to block their construction, strapping ourselves to buildings to prevent them from expanding upwards, or maybe, just maybe, tuning down our paranoia and realizing that a place of worship isn’t reason enough to ground all flights. Perhaps, it’s time to take a course titled “Fear Not: The Basics of Co-existing with Mega-Mosques 101”.

Until then, let’s continue to collect cockamamie theories, jump at our own shadows, cancel flights, and generally be terrified of absolutely everything. After all, that’s the British way!
