Muslims plan Slovenia's first mosque

Released : Thursday, May 31, 2007 9:08 AM
A Muslim community in Slovenia is planning to build the country's first mosque and an Islamic cultural center in Ljubljana.
Slovenia's mufti Nedzad Grabus and Ljubljana Mayor Zoran Jankovic signed a letter of intent on the sale of land for the mosque and adjoining buildings, the Serbian B92 radio reported.
The Muslim worship center will be built on an area of 4 acres and initial plans say it will be completed in the next six years. The Islamic community of Slovenia of 40,000 Muslims will pay $8.2 million for the building site close to the center of Ljubljana, B92 said.
Slovenia, with a population of 2 million, became an independent state in 1991 at the start of disintegration of the former Yugoslavia and it joined NATO and the European Union in 2004.

In Serbia we have more mosques then that but they're mostly in the Muslim Sandzak region and may be the odd one outside of that region (like the one in Nis). apparently over here muslims are planning to build mosques in other cities.

What's worse is many of the mosques were former churches (not only here in Serbia, but also in the Serbian parts of Bosnia -- in fact there was a case in Republika Srpska of a restoration work being done on a mosque that turned out to be a Serbian Chirch put with all the icons hidden, i guess the saying is true "scratch a bosniak, you'll find a serb" )

In Belgrade it's worse. Here there's only one mosque, Bajrakli mosque, It is the only one of 80 the Turks build in Belgrade that survived. But currently the Muslim community wants to expand and built 1 mosque in each of the municipalities in the greater Belgrade area (17 in total) and they claim there are 200,000 Muslims in Belgrade (a highly dubious claim).

I've also read that from time to time the muslims in sarajevo want the former Museum of the Revolution turned into a mosque like it was during WWII.

I had no idea that the situation in Russia is so serious. It's pretty easy to complain about their presence, but what can we do to reduce their numbers?

My opinion is that we have to introduce more strict immigration laws, and limit their population to the acceptable number, or completely reduce their population to zero,by deporting them if necessary.
As I said before, their natality rate is much more higher than ours, so if they continue to inhabit our lands, they will multiply and become powerful, and that we cannot allow.
