The government has budgeted about one million euros ($1.3m) to build the mosque at a reduced price because of the country’s economic crisis, which has delayed the process. However, construction was expected to begin next year.

The protesters waved Greek flags at the rally on Sunday as they shouted: “We don’t [...]

Australia: ‘The Concerned Citizens of Canberra’ Continue Fight Against Mosque

And at prayers for special holidays such as Eid, that number can double.
