Iceland to Get its First Mosque
Gatestone Institute ^ | September 27, 2013 | Soeren Kern

The Muslim Association of Iceland now admits that foreign donors will be paying for the mosque's construction costs. The former mayor of Reykjavik says he believes it is outrageous for the city to give Muslims a site at no cost at a great location in the center of the city, and asks why political and feminist groups are so tolerant of a religion that he says degrades women.

The Reykjavík City Council has approved a building permit for the construction of the first mosque in Iceland.

The mosque will be built in Sogamýri, an upscale district near downtown Reykjavík on a highly desirable plot of land that was granted to Muslims free of charge, courtesy of Icelandic taxpayers.

Members of the city council -- which is led by Reykjavík Mayor Jón Gnarr, who identifies himself as an anarchist -- say they hope the prime location will make the mosque a prominent landmark in the city.

Critics of the mosque, however, say the project is being financed by donors in the Middle East who are seeking to exert control over -- and radicalize -- the growing Muslim community in Iceland.

Build it in a Caldera.

No wonder Snowden dropped the idea of moving to Iceland.

The curse of “diversity”. The muzzies are intent on contaminating every society on earth.

Mosques should be allowed in Iceland only when Saudi Arabia allows churches and synagogues.

Too easy. Occam's Razor.

The left is comprised of cowards, pure and simple. They believe if they try to "play nice" with those who desire their destruction, they will not be attacked, and thus will survive. Never mind that if they survive initially they will eventually be exterminated by those they fear. This type of behavior is a historical fact that the cowards do not care to admit to.

I would be the first to admit that it’s hard to see Muslims arriving and setting up shop in Iceland. It’s the most expensive country in Europe, and just about everyone you meet on the street is going to be liberal in causes and virtues.

Now, all of that aside, the comical side of this is that there is believed to be....roughly 270-odd Muslims in all of Iceland. Whoever is financing this (the Saudis are the most likely)....will blow a million or two on this structure.

Cockroaches describes them completely. An insect that feeds off the offal of others. Despicable human beings that want to suffuse the earth with their religious filth.

Good point.

How long before the first terrorist attack in Iceland? Oddly the two seem to go together.

I do have a question though, I live in the Milwaukee area and there is a large number of muslims that live near our airport. Do other cites have the same situation? I keep thinking of the “Ashes” series of books from Johnstone.... A breed of mutant type people always gravitated to airports. I was just wondering....

I always enjoyed that series of paperbacks, but was never of the mindset to believe so many would be able to reproduce “out of the ashes” as mutants who possessed rudimentary intelligence in large numbers, but maybe I underestimate the potential of liberals. :)
