STOCKHOLM –  A mosque in suburban Stockholm could become the first in Sweden to sound prayer calls from its minaret after getting permission from police.A Turkish Islamic association in the suburb of Fittja wants to use loudspeakers to sound the Islamic call to prayer at midday on Fridays.

Stockholm police on Thursday approved the group’s application, but said it must inform residents living within a 1-kilometer (0.6-mile) radius of the mosque before it starts to use the loudspeakers. The decision can be appealed by local residents.

There is a German word, shaden-something, can’t quite remember it and don’t know why I am thinking of it…

Athens Mayor Says More Mosques Coming

Greek Reporter:

KaminisAthens 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.”

Turkey: Work commences on ‘Erdogan the Magnificent’ mosque

On hill over the Bosphorus, highest minarets in the world

03 April, 19:56

(ANSAmed) – ANKARA, APRIL 3 – Polemics, accusations, and sarcasm have failed to put a damper on Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s plans to build an enormous mosque towering over the Bosphorus.

The mosque will be gigantic, covering a surface area of some 15,000 square meters on the Camlica hill on Istanbul’s Asian side, with another 250,000 square meters housing a park, museum, bar, restaurants, amusement park, and a terrace with a breathtaking view over the Bosphorus and Byzantine and Muslim Istanbul. Erdogan had announced the project a year ago, saying that the ”enormous” mosque would be ”visible from anywhere in the city” with ”the highest minarets in the world”.

In the eyes of opposition secularist Turks, Erdogan – who is referred to as ‘the new sultan’ by many – would like to leave his mark on the city in the tradition of the caliphs of the past. His mosque will be endowed with six minarets instead of two, a distinction of which thus far only Istanbul’s famous Blue Mosque can boast.

”There are many places in Istanbul where a mosque could be built, but they want to send a message,” Hurriyet was told by the opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) MP Mehmet Ali Ediboglu. ”The message is that they want to build an Islamic republic in the place of the secular system. That’s what they are doing, step by step”. Erdogan’s Turkey cannot be said to be lacking in mosques.

Athens Mosque Will Cost Greece $1.1M

It will cost the cash-strapped Greek government, which is cutting pay, raising taxes and slashed pensions for workers, pensioners and the poor, some 846,000 euros, about $1.1 million, to build an official mosque in Athens for the city’s Muslim population.

The design, however, is slated to have a modern look and not that of Ottoman mosques with minarets, the newspaper Ta Nea reported, adding that all that’s needed for the project to begin for the Transportation Ministry to begin the bidding procedures for construction.

The government agreed in September of 2012 to go ahead with the plans after an offer from the Turkish government to pay for it was rejected by Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and opposed by the Muslim community which wanted the Greek state to undertake it.

Metropolitan Seraphim of Piraeus said he was vehemently opposed to having Greece build a mosque who said it should be declared unconstitutional and anti-Greek. The idea of a mosque is still touchy in Greece, which suffered under 400 years of Ottoman occupation when churches were prohibited and as the Turkish government has refused to re-open the closed Halki Seminary.

The Mayor of Moscow says there are no plans to build a new mosque in the city, and says the ‘excessive’ number of economic migrants was a ‘harmful thing’.

“It has turned out that the praying Muslims are not at all Russian citizens and they are not Moscow residents. They are labor migrants. There are only 10 percent of Moscow residents among them and building mosques for everyone who wants it – I think this will be over the top,” Sergey Sobyanin said in an interview with Moscow’s Echo radio.

The top city official went on to say that “Muscovites now get irritated by people who speak a different language, have different manners, with aggressive behavior. This is not purely ethnic, but this is connected with some ethnic traits,” Sobyanin said.

Illegal mosques financed by Saudis springing up near you

Posted on by

Macedonia Online:

Wednesday, 13 February 2013
Macedonia may need to follow Switzerland and ban the building of new mosques in the country. If the Swiss can do it and be applauded by the rest of Europe why can’t we?

Mosques are springing up virtually over night, illegally, with no building permits of any kind and in almost every case, the mosques are financed by Saudi, Kuwaiti, Malaysian, Qatari or Lybian organizations, in many cases by these foreign governments.

Interesting to note is that this is not happening only in Macedonia, rather Bulgaria has been hit hard by this problem as well. According to Bulgarian newspapers, there were hundreds of new mosques built only in the last few years across Bulgaria.

In Macedonia, astonishingly muslims are not needed for mosques. The latest example is the city of Shtip, where there are no people of muslim religion yet a mosque is being built. Shtip residents have joked that there must be a muslim individual in some village, therefore one mosque per muslim. Another mosque was built in Valandovo, where there aren’t any muslims as well. As the case with the majority of the mosques, the above mentioned did not have a building permit.

Gavin Boby speaks at Ottawa Public Library Feb 4 2013 Part 1

Posted on by

The file sizes are large and the rendering/exporting times are massive as I notice the lighting at the library was truly horrific and many very demanding plug-ins had to be used to try and make it look a little normal. So to export about 13 minutes took well over 6 hours.

Hopefully you will feel it was worth it.

I hope to have the rest of this video uploaded within the next 48 hours.

Gavin publicity shot 2 Ottawa-small

Thank you very much to the hard-working film crew who worked pro-bono to shoot this footage.
The initial seconds of the clip is a high speed walk through of another press conference that was taking place upstairs immediately before Gavin spoke, presumably by CAIR-CAN but certainly by Muslims and others in opposition to Gavin’s speech.

It also needs to be said, that the Library people, and the city councillor involved, Jan Harder, acted with a tremendous amount of integrity. This is triply true as it is a safe assumption that neither agreed with the views expressed by Mr. Boby (Ottawa City Council is practically full-on Marxist) yet they were far more ready to defend the rights of freedom of speech than to give in to what was likely their own beliefs. This, in my world, constitutes genuine principle and I hope if Jan Harder stands for re election all in her ward support her as that sort of principle is extremely rare in politics and everywhere.

Some choice quotes on one of the London Mosque-patrols enforcing sharia in England

H/T Snaphanen.Dk

As there seems to be so much controversy surrounding Gavin Boby’s talk in Ottawa today, Montreal tomorrow and Toronto on Wednesday, it seemed timely to post yet another muslim-patrol video. Just in case anyone has any doubts as to the nature of a mosque or its comparative values relative to a church or temple.

You hardly ever hear about Buddhist temple patrols or Hindu ‘youth’ enforcing proper treatment of cows or elephants in Indian areas. But with Muslims, it is common everywhere.

Here is an interesting letter to the Ottawa Library about what happened to an area of Montreal once a mosque was built. The letter was sent in order to clarify a few things about Gavin’s speech. I have left the name of the sender out till I have direct permission to post it, but this is the letter she sent to the Library.

Dear Ms. McDonald,

I have been made aware of a letter sent to you by CAIR CAN regarding a speaking event to be held on the premises of the Ottawa Public Library.  The speaker will be Mr. Gavin Boby.  CAIRCAN aka The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) has known of this event for quite some time but chose to intimidate you at the last moment.  Such are the tactics of the MB.

I was a resident of a Montreal borough for 16 years.  The borough authorized the construction of a mosque not far from my home.  Nobody opposed it but shortly after its construction, all regretted it.

Citizens can no longer walk their dogs without being threatened or having their dogs assaulted on the sidewalks.  Citizens have great difficulty selling their homes and when they do, it can sometimes take years and the price must be lowered considerably.  Parking became a major issue because the side streets are taken up by mosque members.  The mosque now has its own public security directing vehicles on Fridays to the side streets and traffic congests as each mosque member’s car is redirected to any open slot available.  Citizens can no longer invite many guests to their homes not only on Friday but also during the Ramadan month since guests have nowhere to park.  The situation got so bad that even the corner Dairy Queen closed down. 

Immediately following the construction of the mosque, the French private Academy school located next door had to sell and it was bought up by an Islamic school.  Many local eateries sold and became hallal. 

I refuse all hallal since the spinal cord is not cut (contrary to kosher).  The animal suffers horribly since pain and terror signals are sent to the brain until the poor animal bleeds out completely.  Hallal is the most barbaric slaughter of all.

More and more mayors are not allowing new mosques in residential neighborhoods for these reasons.  Instead they suggest the mosques be built in industrial zoning areas.  Since all terrorists frequent mosques, industrial zoning also makes it easier for law enforcement and counter-terrorism agencies to perform their duties.

The letter MB-CAIR sent to you is the standard issue letter it sends to all organizations it wants to coerce, replete with the same fallacies about the event to be held and loaded with intimidating CCs to corner you.

I truly hope you do not submit to such scare tactics and allow the citizens the opportunity to learn how to protect their most valuable possession, their home, and how to redirect a zone change.  The citizens will benefit from this event as well as all future mosques and policing agencies.

In ending, what Mr. Gardee did not tell you about his organization falsely labeled as human rights:

CAIR-CAN and the entire Muslim Brotherhood network in North America is described in no uncertain terms:

The Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions… It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes.”

This memorandum was seized by police and produced for evidentiary purposes in two Holy Land Foundation trials that took place in the U.S. in 2007 and 2008. These trials led to the convictions of the accused for having funded terrorism (GMBDR).
