Parliament, Ok to Construction of Athens Mosque

With 198 votes in favour and only 16 against, today the Greek Parliament approved the construction of the long awaited Mosque of Athens. The measure was voted for by MPs of all political parties except for those belonging to Laos, the small f right-wing party led by Giorgos Karatzaferis, who accused the government of creating, through its decision, ”a laboratory for the production of terrorists in the centre of Athens”. It was for more than 35 years that Greece was debating the possibility of setting up a Mosque in Athens, the only European capital city that does not have a place of worship for the more than 200,000 Muslim believers residing in the Greek capital.
