Slovakia is the last EU Member State without a single mosque, TRT World reports. Previous attempts to build have been halted by politicians.
The country does not recognise Islam as a religion and only have a few thousand Muslim residents. Islam must not be taught in schools and the 5,000 Muslims, mostly European ones, who reside in the country are not officially recognised. They account for only 0.1% of the population.
In 2007, politicians changed the country’s laws so that 20,000 signatures from members were required to be recognised by the state. In 2017 they more than doubled the number of necessary signatures.
Not being officially recognised poses major difficulties for the group. Among other things, they are not allowed to have official religious leaders, conduct Muslim marriages or receive financial contributions from the State, rights which 18 other recognised religions have.
According to some of the country’s politicians, Islam is a serious threat.
“Islamisation begins with kebab and in Bratislava it has already begun. So understand what it could be like in 5-10 years,” says MP Andrej Danko.
“Every normal European, Christian or atheist fears this satanic pedophile creation of the devil,” rumbles another critical MP.
According to TRT, the situation was further complicated for the country’s Muslims in connection with the 2015 asylum wave. Slovakia then used the absence of mosques as an argument not to accept any migrants.
The TV channel also claims that Slovakia violates EU rights laws by not permitting the building of mosques.
my family came from Slovakia or what is now Slovakia. might be time to go back
Liberals will not get, or refuse to get, the connection re: Slovakia’s stance on islam, and being “terror free”.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
“Unfortunately there is a little thing called the first amendment here.”
But that only applies to religion, not to political entities like Islam.
The old saying is, "It's later then you think." I don't give the US another ten years.. We've brought the murderous hoard in among us and soon we will start paying the price.. Our once wonderful nation is going to split up into different factions and tribes.. We already see it happening in some of our major cities..
The part that really bugs me is, I don't understand why the left thinks the stinking muslims will tolerate THEM.. (?) :(
BobL stole my thunder. The First Amendment protections do not extend to conspiracy to overthrow the US Government. Islam is a political wolf cloaked in the sheepskin of religion.
Slovakia sounds like a great place to retire to. No Muslims? Nice!!
Do you really want politicians determining what is a religion and what isn’t? What would prevent a future Democrat Congress from decreeing that faiths which did not sanction gay marriage were not legally recognized as religions?
...........................................................
No, what I want politicians to do is protect and defend law-abiding citizens of our country, crucify every person who is here illegally, and hang every person found guilty of treason, or of torturing or raping or murdering innocent citizens. And I want all of this done in a matter of weeks, not decades.
Visited Bratislava, enjoyed it.
The High Tatry Region is gorgeous, one of the places I would love to retire in is the Zakopane area in Poland.
Smart politicians, looking out for their own people and their future. I wish we had a whole lot more like them.
They get it. Nothing good comes from Islam.
Mayor Pete, I believe it was him, said that. The Religion of Peace is the Cult of Pedophilia...No more Mosques...
Beautiful Country...
So you're good with giving Mayor Pete or President Pete or Senator Pete the power to make that decision? I'm not.
No, I’m not...I just said when someone said it...I just answered it was Mayor Pete. I would never want the government to tell me my religion is not approved.
Islam has the markings of a brutal gang. Its more MS-13 than Protestantism.
Islam is barbarism in religious drag. Fact.
