Western Europe's biggest mosque opens in Netherlands Dec 18, 2010 at 08:19 ![]() The Essalam mosque in Rotterdam, the biggest mosque in the country, was opened on December 17, 2010 by Rotterdam mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb. The mosque will accommodate 1,500 people at any one time and offers shopping, a library, kitchen, offices and a congress hall. Photograph: VALERIE KUYPERS/AFP/Getty Images By AFP THE HAGUE - Western Europe's biggest mosque opened on Friday in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, five years behind schedule with organisers blaming obstruction from far-right politicians for the delay. The mosque, which is built with two 50-metre (164-feet) high minarets, can accommodate 3,000 worshippers and will be a centre for charity, mutual understanding and forgiveness, said its chief adminstrator Abdelrazak Boutaher. Construction began in 2003 and was slated to last for two years, but organisers said far-right opposition had delayed the project. "This horrible thing doesn't belong here but in Saudi Arabia," said Geert Wilders, the Dutch far-right leader, on his Twitter account. The mosque is funded by the Al Maktoum Foundation, a charitable organisation established by Dubai's ruling family. Immigrants account for about 25 percent of the Netherlands' population, but anti-immigrant feeling is strong with Wilders' Party for Freedom making strong gains in this year's general election. http://en.news.maktoob.com/20090000538272/Western_Europe_s_biggest_mosque_opens_in_Netherlands/Article.htm |

It's going to be the place to go when it's turned into a Disco, I can see the bungee catapult rides from the towers being a big hit as well. |

You could fit a gay bar in and a few stalls selling bacon butties and sausage rolls. The first floor could have an art gallery with an exhibition by famous cartoonists. |

Sadly what people fail to realise is that mosques especially minerets are a sign of dominance! Hey Islams here and fcuk you! We have gotton one over you infidels! Look no further than the mosque at Ground Zero, which is a blatent in ya face from them! Sweden has gone the right way and banned minerets! |
