Athens Mayor George Kaminis said the pending opening of the first official mosque in Greece, being built in Athens by the government, will pave the way for more, as many as two or more in each district of the city, spreading the influence of Islam.
During a meeting of the city’s council, Kaminis, a supporter of the mosque that some critics, such as the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party and some Greek Orthodox Church officials are trying to block, defend the construction “for obvious reasons of political equality and defense of the right to free exercise of religion” but also “for practical reasons, in order to put in order the irregular creation of such informal places.”
He said that he raised the issue during his recent meeting with the minister of Education and added that “the creation of a central mosque in Athens opens the way to start the licensing process for spaces that fulfill the requirements, which are operating as informal places of worship, so that one or two per district will operate legally.”
Muslims in Greece are now using makeshift mosques, including in basements and garages, and there are an estimated 120 of them in daily use.
Comments:
- The Muslims tried to destroy our Christianity for five hundred years but our ancestors stood up them and we prevailed in the end. Now our politicians who have destroyed our country spit on the graves our heroes and invite the muslims in to finish us off. We must declare war on our politicians. They are the true enemies of Greeks. We must unit and not allow the this mosque to ne build, by any means necessary

ExposeHypocrisy Remember the words of the Muslim Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers”
Building a Mosque in Athens, considering that Greece suffered under 400 years of Islamic Turkish Ottoman occupation, is equivalent to building a monument in honour of the 3rd Reich in Tel Aviv.
