Why no Greek mosque ?

greece multi-religious country , there sizable number of muslims living in northeast part of greece bordering turkey, bulgaria , fyrom there lot of muslims.

fact is, relations between 2 religions not best possible , because religion was/is used promote territorial claims ever since balkan wars, , before , after our wars , declaration of independence ottoman occupation. 400 years ottoman occupation lasted in greece, has left deep chasm older generation difficult bridged. on top of that, terrorist attacks muslim fundamentalists have inflicted in many countries, whether justified or not, have broaden gap. although, say, according koran, islam peaceful religion, practices peaceful.

problem lately has come be, ability of legal and/or illegal immigrants able carry religious rights.
sudden influx of muslims have accumulated during last years in broader area of attica, has made matter more urgent , fact there many sectors of muslims makes bigger.

insistence practice openly religious rites, of savage, comes direct conflict christian fundamentalists , object building mosque in athens.

of course matter of discrimination against christians hard core muslim countries maintain. want on other hand not allow christians among midst.

many problems solve , little face them involved sides.

isnt time greece caught every other european nation , allowed
mosque built ? other religions followers have place worship-why moslems refused basic human right ?
