Athens's half a million Muslims are set to get their first official mosque in more than a century.

The city has not had a formal mosque since it drove out occupying Ottomans in 1833, and Deputy Foreign Minister Ioannis Amanantidis told parliament last year that it was the only European capital "to be deprived of such a religious space".

I would consider Athens to be fortunate, and not deprived, at not having a mosque.

The ultimate goal of Islam is world domination and then extermination of all non-Islamic peoples.
http://www.answering-islam.org/Authors/Arlandson/ultimate_goal.htm

I’m a male but I know Islam is the worst thing ever.Keep all Muslims away from America

In 1400 year Islam has genocided countless whole populations the media hides. A recent genocide is the Armenian genocide where Muslim Turks in Turkey exterminated the whole Christian Armenian population of 2 million Christians in 1915. They tortured these people to death in the worst thing I’ve ever read, proof: http://www.gendercide.org/case_armenia.html

This is the plan they have for us, populate a country , install sharia law , achieve world dominance then genocide’

...the only European capital "to be deprived of such a religious space".

 

Mosques are not religous spaces. Mosques are military training and indoctrination centers for jihad and worse.

Especially here in the US. See Mosques on the front lines in the war against America

Of all the Europeans the Greeks have the most recent memories of what Islam is really all about. They were subjugated by them until 1833.

Hey greeks! do you remember when the turks came into Greece and wouldn’t leave? You had to have a revolution to kick them out. Did you learn your lesson? Apparently not.

I would have swapped the Athens mosque for the Hagia Sophia.

I wonder whether the final clash between West and Islam is coming soon . . . and whether freedom will win. The outcome is in no way certain.

That’s not being deprived.

It’s being blessed.

Didn’t these Greeks ever read the story of the Trojan Horse?
They will regret ever allowing a mosque on Greek soil.
