The predominantly Christian country of Slovakia passed a law on Nov. 30 that effectively bans Islam as an officially recognized religion, which also blocks Islam from receiving any state subsidies for its schools, reported Reuters.
The prime minister, Robert Fico, said in May that "Islam has no place" in Slovakia. Prior to the law being passed, Slovak National Party Chairman Andrej Danko said, "Islamization starts with a kebab and it's already under way in Bratislava -- let's realize what we can face in 5 to 10 years."
"We must do everything we can so that no mosque is built in the future," said Danko.
The new law says that a religion must have at least 50,000 members to qualify for state recognition; the previous threshold was 20,000 members. According to Slovakia's latest census, as reported by Reuters, there are 2,000 Muslims there and "no recognized mosques."
The law passed with a two-thirds majority in the Slovakia Parliament.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, Slovakia and the United States established diplomatic relations, in 1993. Slovakia is a member of the European Union and NATO. The country sits in the center of Eastern Europe, bordered by the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Ukraine and Hungary.
Slovakia's population is approximately 5.4 million. As for religion, 62.2% of Slovaks are Catholic, 9% Protestant, 3.8% Greek Catholic, 1% Orthodox, and 13.4% atheist, according to the Slovak Statistical Office. (10.6% did not answer the question about their religious belief.)
Yes! Ban it. Crush it. Eradicate Islam from the face of the earth. A new Crusade until Allah is worshipped only in hell.
This in no way bans Islam. Muslims in Slovakia can still practice their faith. What they can’t do is officially register the religion or build a tax protected mosque. Muslims can worship at home. Muhammad did.
Since Islam is not a religion, banning it is not a conflict with religious freedom. Good move for Christian Slovakia and for the West.
Great country, had a chance to visit Bratislava last year.

Yes, I worked with several people from Slovakia last summer. Great people.
Eastern Europe still has a survival instinct.
Western Europe does not.
Does the USA?
True, but maybe the muslims would feel more comfortable somewhere else and will leave. Or maybe these people like to be protected from the insanity of their true believers. Hard to fathom these brave politicians in the heart of EUlandia. Merkel will not be happy.
Slovakia won’t be Germany’s little bitch, like during WWII.
Slovakia has a population of 5.4M, so 2,000 muslims works out to 0.04%.
Totally agree. My take on Islam is it's a total sociopolitical system of control of the individual. After you've done that, then you can give the brainwashed person orders and say, "It's in the Koran." No freedom, no individual choice, Sharia law. . just a huge cult IMHO, and a deadly one at that.
Islam is totally incongruous with Western Civilization and especially the US Constitution.
You got that right. The Bitch Merkel, a commie from East Germany, has not changed her stripes at all. The Eastern bloc countries, especially Slovakia and Hungary, won’t take any crap from her ilk.

We're going to find out, and soon. Trump is going to have to clean our the federal government and be willing to confront head on CAIR, ISNA and the other front groups.
Despite what the PC police say, we are at war with Islam and always have been. Haven't these idiots heard of the Crusades and the Barbary Pirates?
As a sidebar, I hope Trump authorizes the FBI to place all mosques under surveillance and does a search of them for any reasonable suspicion.
Blame Melania Trump.
Maybe she called Slovakia Prime Minister Robert Fico. :)
She’s Slovenian.
These people get it. They understand that Islam will never become part of the culture. It will become an enclave of 5th columnists.
