The construction of a new £2.5m mosque in Cumbria is causing deep divisions in the area. The South Lakes Islamic Centre at Dalton-in-Furness - led by a group of Muslim doctors at Barrow's Furness General Hospital - is expected to be finished next year but it's been hampered by protests. A BBC North West investigation has been finding out what's behind the ill feeling that has divided the community and the area.
