Islamic Mega-Mosque Opens in Atheistic Sweden
The Christian Post ^ | Stoyan Zaimov

The largest mosque in Scandinavia has opened in Sweden, which is one of the least religious and most atheistic nations in the Western world, reports have said, costing the Qatari government $3.30 million to build.

Qatar's Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs reported the news on Wednesday, explaining that the Umm Al-Mu'minin Khadijah Mosque in Malmo, expanding to 19,278 square feet (1,791 square meters), will be able to accommodate up to 2,000 worshipers.

Breitbart News noted that Qatar is an absolute monarchy largely ruled by Sharia law, and has been accused by U.S. officials of funding radical Islamic terrorism.

"We need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to [Islamic State] and other radical Sunni groups in the region," an email by former U.S. Secretary of State and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton acknowledged in 2014, as released by Wikileaks in 2016.

Malmö has seen a spike in drug and gun crime in the wake of large-scale Muslim immigration, as part of the refugee crises gripping Europe.

Atheism has also been rising in Sweden, with a 2014 national study noting that nearly eight out of 10 Swedes are either "not religious" or "convinced atheists," making the nation one of the least religious countries in the Western world.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Sweden admitted in February that people are leaving the faith in record numbers, with the 90,000 people who left the Church in 2016 being almost double the number of those who quit in 2015.

Yep:

It's an Islamic mosque? Compared to a Catholic mosque? Or a Buddhist mosque?

Atheists see to be incensed that some Christians claim salvation, so they must embrace those preaching a god that condemns to hell no matter what Suni islam talks of demons torturing your dead body when buried....

Atheism and Islam. Two murderous religions side by side.

When will Sweden see that it needs Jesus?

There's still time to turn to Him, Sweden. But you better do it quick.

Instead of north, south, east and west, the new Volvo’s onboard compass will let you know when you’re facing Mecca.
