LONDON: A PROPERTY developer has been accused of Islamophobia after a mosque was allegedly airbrushed out of its marketing photos.

Its dome and minaret appear to have been edited out while a row of trees seem to have been added, shielding the building.

Worshippers at the London Islamic Cultural Society and Mosque, in Hornsey, North London, blasted developer Fairview New Homes.

Mustafa Alloucha, 47, said: “They are worried that by showing the mosque it may harm sales. They are trying to pretend it does not exist.”

Siraj Din, 57, said: “Maybe they worry people will be scared off if they see these flashy homes are next to a mosque.

“But this mosque should be portrayed as it is, in this photo it just looks like a warehouse.”

A worshipper from London Islamic Cultural Society and Mosque said ‘it’s unacceptable’
