This is the main problem in the UK, they talk about protecting Christian country but they never go to church, no one is stopping them. Then when no one goes to church, churches close down, become rundown or sold off.

We as Muslims have every right to turn an abandoned place of worship into a masjid atleast it gets used by our brothers and sisters

actually you are wrong there lol, Luton is part of Bedfordshire not London at all. there is "Luton London airport" but that's just in name, we aren't geographically or otherwise related to London.

I don't see anything weird with this. Volunteer is always good. Somone might need help. Bad is when people don't volunteer nor do small charities.

Here in a suburban city of Toronto, there's literally a church whose congregation has aged, and their children refuse to attend, so they're running outta funds to keep the lights on! Well, alhamdulillaahi the Muslim community has grown so much, one very close by mosque splintered away, and now that offshoot co-opts the church, renting it on Fridays for Jumu'ah and tafsiir programs, helping that church keep its lights on!!!
