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.

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.

They have a function/conference room, I think it needs a gay disco night.

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!
