CALGARY, July 2, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ----The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community will unveil Canada's largest Mosque Complex and a stunning architectural landmark in Calgary on Saturday, July 5th, 2008. With a total area of approximately 48,000 sq. ft. the new Mosque will be a symbol of peace and social harmony.
The Head of the Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His Holiness Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad will inaugurate the new mosque. The Prime Minister, Stephen Harper - Leader of National Liberal Party, Stephene Dion - His Worship Dave Bronconnier, Mayor of Calgary, together with other senior community and political figures and the larger Calgary community will attend the opening ceremony.
The inauguration of the mosque coincides with the current year long celebration of the Centenary of the Khilafat (Caliphate) in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. The Ahmadiyya Community is renowned for reminding Muslims around the world that "loyalty to your homeland (Canada), is part of your faith". Ahmadi Muslims are proud of the fact that wherever they reside in the world - they become loyal citizens of that country and promote integration and peaceful coexistence with everyone of all faiths, cultures and religion.
The inauguration is part of the Centenary Celebrations of Khilafat (successorship) for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, and will symbolize how the Community has peacefully coexisted and integrated into Canada.
According to the President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Canada, Mr. Lal Khan Malik, "the opening of this mosque is an historic occasion for the Ahmadi Muslims to add to the Canadian society. We invite everyone to use it as a meeting place to build harmony and respect."
"The Community is elated that His Holiness will inaugurate the Mosque with a Friday sermon that will be telecast live-via-satellite across the globe. The mosque is a very important part of the community and will bring Muslims and non-Muslim closer together," He added.
The mosque is a focal point for the community. "This mosque will form a very important hub for the community where people will pray and enjoy many other social, sports and cultural activities," said Naseem Mahdi, Missionary Incharge & Senior Vice president of the Community.
Completing the building of the mosque in Calgary has been a tremendous moment of joy for the Community. It took over two years and $15 million dollars of voluntary donations from the members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Members of the Community from all across Canada made personal financial sacrifices to help complete this project. Additional mosque projects are in various stages at in Vancouver, Saskatoon and Brampton.
Saturday, July 5, 2008 has been set aside for a grand public opening at 11 AM at 4353-54th Ave NE at the corner of 54 Ave & 44 St NE in Calgary. Public tours, photography and interviews can be arranged in advance.

Heads will roll.
Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.
I am a librarian (I don't want to specify more than that) in a Western State, and have received a very glossy magazine from them--unsolicited.
It is very slick, very well produced and edited, many colors, graphics, roughly equivalent in production length and quality to Scientific American, though perhaps a few pages longer.
I figure it costs them about $1.40/ea to produce, and another $0.50 to mail. (My best guess only.)
I've been a librarian 26+ years. I have, over the years, received small books (not booklets, but paperback books) of roughly 80 pp. or so, promoting Islam by the Saudi government. We're received four of those.
This magazine--from the group mentioned in the article above--is from the AMERICAN branch of this same group, IIRC. I still have it.
Where are they getting the money for this blind mailing out of material to each and every library in the USA (and yes, other libraries have received items, too)?
Where are they getting the organization to locate each and every library in the USA? (It's not difficult to do, but hey, it shows that they're dedicated and organized.)
Folks, we need to worry. They're BIG into proselytization. We are being COLONIZED.
If you’re worried about them passing magazines:

Its size will also make it serviceable as an ammunition depot and strategic attack headquarters for the Calgary region.
The Ahmadiyya are somewhat like the Ismaili in their social nature, to the point that other muslims regard them as apostates. Still, an interesting development.
Perhaps I'll turn out to be wrong about that. If so, I'll be pleased.
Are they hosting a nice pork BBQ picnic for their neighbors ?
Maybe the Calgary Stampede could run through the place..
At least the NAMBLA members will have a nice play to meet.

(Nice play ? I’ve still got Charlie Crist on the brain)
I wonder if they would let me have a pig roast in their parking lot to raise money for Israel?
Mohammed's modern worshippers have much respect for such a horrific lifestyle, which is why they will never be accepted by me or any rational human being.
Post #9. Beat ya. :-P
Even to go as far as banning picture books and other such things. The God I know is not scared of anything nor intimidated by a stuffed animal.
I also read somewhere that Mohammed hated dogs because one of them bit his Satanic @ss.
Call it divine intervention, animal instinct or good sense, that doggy did the right thing.
It's such a shameful thing that muslims beat, kill or otherwise abuse such wonderful animals.
And yet they hold goat beauty contests.
I highly doubt that the Ahmadiyya Muslim group gets any Saudi money at all. Most Muslims consider them heretical.
