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.”
Butcher Shakil Ahmad, 35, said: “They are pretending it doesn’t exist. It’s unacceptable.”
But a spokesman for the mosque said: “They have photoshopped all buildings in close proximity, including the mosque.
“When we first saw the photo we were concerned the mosque had been hidden but quickly realised it was a marketing tool.”
The luxury one to three-bed flats in the Altitude development cost from £395,000. Fairview said it uses computer-generated images “to create a visual representation of how the completed development will look”.
