The Biggest Mega-Mosque in Scandinavia : Denmark Gets its First Minaret
Gatestone Institute ^ | September 9, 2013 | Soeren Kern

"In this way we can promote our moderate message of Islam. The Emir [of Qatar] would really like this." — Mohamed al-Maimouni, spokesman, Danish Islamic Council.

Construction crews in Copenhagen have raised Denmark's first minaret -- a 20 meter (65 foot) tower-like structure that will alter Copenhagen's low-rise skyline -- as the finishing touch on a colossal project to build the biggest mega-mosque in Scandinavia.

Construction of the minaret, which was finished on September 3, marks the final phase of work on Denmark's first-ever purpose-built mosque, situated at Rovsingsgade Street in Nørrebro, a heavily Islamized district in northwestern Copenhagen.

The so-called Grand Mosque, which will cater to Sunni Muslims, is massive by European standards. The complex covers 6,800 square meters (75,000 square feet) and will house a domed mosque, a restaurant, a cinema, classrooms, offices, a community center for the elderly, childcare facilities, a playground and more, in what is being billed as the largest "real" mosque in Scandinavia.

The mosque has only been possible thanks to a 150 million kroner ($26 million) donation by the former ruling Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, which has led critics to voice concerns that the mosque will become a mouthpiece for radical Islam.

In an interview with the Copenhagen-based daily newspaper Berlingske on August 5, Copenhagen City Council member Lars Aslan Rasmussen said, "Gifts like these from Qatar are not free and I am worried that Muslims in Denmark risk becoming radicalized and pushed even further from the society that they should be a part of."

Rasmussen added that the 25,000 member Danish Islamic Council (Dansk Islamisk Råd) -- a Muslim umbrella group that is building the mosque -- belongs to the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE), which has close connections to both Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Ahmed Akkari — the man who organized the 2005 Mohammed cartoon riots and who now admits he was wrong to do so — said:

“The truth is that there is not a single mosque or Muslim organization in Denmark that is not run by Islamists. As soon as you enter the house of the believers, you are met with Islamism whether you want it or not. As soon as you become a devoted Muslim, you are infected by extremism.”

It is a horrific cancer. I cannot BELIEVE how it has spread in just my lifetime.

And nobody seems to see it, or dare speak it’s name.

I hope we don’t see much more of these.

Still, might be worth remembering, one evening I looked at the Mormon Temples around the world, nice one in Sweden:

Of course, the thing is, is we aren’t going to see Mormon Temples in the Islamic world.

Muslims like blond woman slaves. All the Circassians got worn out from too much work so a few Danish vessels are needed.
The Danish men have gelded themselves so they can be menial servants. The next triumphal minaret will be larger, much larger.

Some see -- and FEEL -- this cancer.

Islam is a political, legal and economic system masquerading as "the religion of peace".  Their "holy book"  (so called) describes 3 ways for muslims to deal with NON-muslims: They may convert to islam, if useful to islam (easy to imagine when it is remembered that most muslims are stuck in the 12th century!), non-muslims may be allowed to live in "dhimmitude", a system under which infidels are heavily taxed in a form of servitude or, finally, they are to be KILLED, frequently in bizarre, grotesque and painful ways.

Before some PC/diversity/tolerance TROLL comes back with “Yeah, but Christians have also done horrible things, I remind you that brutal acts such as this ARE NOT authorized or codified in the Christian New Testament. Unlike the Koran, It urges us simply to share Christ with non-believers, NOT SHOVE HIS CROSS DOWN THEIR THROATS AFTER MURDERING THEM. Those “Christians” who do such things do so in DEFIANCE of His instructions to us!

If there ARE any muslims out there who reject the insane and murderous commands of their so-called "prophet", they'd better speak out -- NOW -- before these psychotic criminals who claim to share their "belief system" (I can't bring myself to call it a "faith") get all of them killed in what is shaping up to be a confrontation that will make the Crusades look like a day at the beach.

If your jury is still out on the subject of "tolerance" and "diversity" vis-a-vis islam, this might cause it to reach a verdict! It might also cause you to ask why obama and his criminal enterprise is aiding and abetting these radical beasts over the more secular and Christian friendly (or at least neutral) Assad regime?

I can't prove it, but the way they trussed her up on that bed screams that she was almost certainly brutally gang raped before they killed her!  These people are SAVAGES!!! Bet you haven't seen any detailed reports of this sort of thing on the networks or the NYT.
