The new mosque to be built on Vibevej in Copenhagen’s North West district will be partially funded by Iranian sponsors, reports Kristeligt Dagblad newspaper.
The project is being headed by the Shia Muslim organisation Ahlul Bait and is expected to cost 50 million kroner. It was previously thought that the mosque would be funded solely by private donations from Danish Muslims.
The building’s architect, Bijan Eskandani, referred to a meeting in Tehran between the architect and financial backers in a letter to the City Council in May.
Eskandani confirmed that about 15 million kroner of financing had been secured from ‘two or three rich Iranians’. He stressed the Iranian government was not providing any funding.
Integration spokespeople from both the Liberal and opposition Social Democrat parties have called for greater transparency when it comes to financing religious projects to ensure religious extremists and radicals are not involved.
The Danish People’s Party has gone one step further and called for the building of the mosque to be halted. The party has been a detractor of the project from the outset.
MP Martin Henriksen has written to the justice and integration ministers asking them to stop the project.
Infiltrate, colonize, and undermine...
We in the US are just as stupid to permit this undermining of out culture in the name of diversity. It is absolutely stupid.
Wonder what their chances are of stopping it.
...just a pinch between your cheek and gum......
If it were just a religion, it would not be a problem. However it’s an indoctrination center for the world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion.

( Stick the Copenhagen Mosque where the sun don't shine)
Mosques=barracks and armory.
Can’t imagine what those Lutherans in Denmark and Muslims have in common anyway.
