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.

Thanks cutty. Makes sense, they both hate banks.
I've often wondered why no one in The West takes this position. The moon god is very jealous and insecure - he cannot abide any competition. And keeps his adherents in his clutches by threat of death for leaving.
Ha, and liberalism and the cost of living aren’t the only deterrents to Islam; there is also the country’s latitude. Iceland is just below the Arctic circle, so while they don’t get the midnight sun effect, it does not get completely dark at night in June and July. During the month of Ramadan, Moslems are not supposed to eat, drink or have sex while there is enough light to tell a white thread from a black one. So when Ramadan falls during the summer, as is the case now, proper observance of that holiday will be impossible.
Fine...now burn it down.

Hmmm... Can I have “Self Loathing Liberals” for $1000, Alex?
Their mayor is a self-described anarchist. I guess he works within the system that he despises to rack it asunder. Hey, moonbats...moozlums want to murder you and your children.

I guess that’s worth repeating.

They had better increase the security at their local malls.
they believe that appeasing them gets them a seat at Eid dinner.
Chamberlin alert.
Dear Iceland,
YOU’LL be SORRRRRRY!
An anarchist in government, isn’t some kind of contradiction
in terms??
Hows that Catholic Church doing in Saudi Arabia?
Remember the Jews of Medina ?
P.S. That’s an old map. The numbers have probably doubled since then.
This is an interesting concept. Moslem Vikings.
