European
continent into the bottom of the Islamfobia sentiment warmed again with
a string of recent attempted attacks in Britain, recently, instead the
Islamic rays illuminated through the construction of hundreds of new
mosques. So
far, only some of Britain's 1,500 mosques and 10 in France, eight in
Sweden, four in Hungary and two in Russia including Qolsharif Mosque in
Tatarstan which is the largest mosque in Europe at the timeHere you are.
New
mosque construction projects from Germany to Spain and Britain, proving
courage Muslim community highlighting their identity, without fear nor
threatened by development around them. More
interesting, if previously they had secretly praying in a dark room at
the bottom of the building for fear of being ridiculed, the present
situation otherwise. They
are mostly the immigrants from Turkey and East Africa, not just to go
out in the mosque, but also work to raise funds and unite to face any
trials to ensure the desired mosque could become a reality.
In
fact, as reported by the Western media recently, the presence of the
largest mosque dome in Germany for example, the church tower sink â € "a
new confidence indicator on Islam when the church was increasingly
abandoned in European countries.
In Germany alone, up to 184 new mosques currently under construction, including in Berlin's Kreuzberg district. Conditions
vary much more than many years ago when 180 monks Catholic group
Sisters of the Divine Savior viewed as the heart of the city. Unfortunately, today they live only 8 people. Each
week, an average of 150 Roman Catholics attend mass at Liebfrauen
Church, while about 3,000 Muslims meet Mosque Yavuz-Sultan-Selim. Since opening in 1995, the presence of Muslim shops and youth centers have become a magnet for the Muslim community.
Across
Europe, Muslims are also the fastest growing religion, the more
significant and clearly establishing its public presence after decades
quietly. Changing not only the architectural look of cities, but also the social value of the community. In
what is referred to as a symbol of Muslim integration, the phenomenon
is also apparent Islam is seen as proof that Islamic world threatening
Europe's Christian culture.
"The
Muslims are brave out those who actually present themselves," said
Claus Leggewie, specializing in Political Science University of Giessen,
Germany.
The fact that a study on the evolution of the mosque landscape in Germany.
"By building such a large mosque, the message he wanted delivered (the Muslims) are we here. We want to be part of the symbolic landscape of Germany. We are here and will continue to remain in Germany, "said Leggewie.
Construction
of large mosques from Cologne, Germany, to Amsterdam (Netherlands) and
Seville, Spain, faced fierce opposition and local leaders claim it is a
hotbed for terrorists. Even more sad, when there is a doubt among the Muslims building the mosque. This
is evidenced by the statement of the family of two suspects in the
Glasgow, Scotland who claimed the suspect had been radicalized by the
group Tablighi Jamaat missionaries (Tablighi Jamaat) â € "the same group
that is great for the rights for the building of the Great Mosque
London on 18 acres of land . In fact, the construction near the 2012 Olympic stadium is also set to create history as the largest mosque in Europe.
The
existence of such distinct building from the basement to be dark and
small places like Halif Kuzpinar pilgrims perform Friday prayers, over
33 years after she emigrated from Turkey to Frankfurt, Germany. Who
would have thought, the Islamic movement he belongs to buy a
supermarket in a residential neighborhood in Wiesbaden, in central
Germany.
"Here there is parking, a children's center and for the youth. We want to create a one-stop center for the public to see what we actually do here, "said Kuzpinar.
Following
a place of its own existence, Mili Gorus â € "a Turkish Muslim rights
organization that monitored the German government wants to have
something that was done so that the recognition of the people in a
country that has become their homeland.
However, the noble face protests. "It should be sold as a supermarket, not a mosque," said Wolfgang Kopp, owner of apartments across the premises.
His
other neighbors together, successfully prevented efforts to make the
supermarket building of the mosque, but only for a while. This caused the German Constitution clearly states that all religions can have their own place of worship. Since
setting foot in Germany, the immigrants as Kuzpinar, forced to pray in a
dark room into darkness symbol Islamic society torn between the freedom
to practice religion and culture of the local community in the country
that is their homeland.
Now, the third generation of the increasingly successful, mutually working in mosque construction projects with towers. If
10 years ago only a handful exist only mosque, Germany is seeing 159
mosques and 184 new mosque construction projects, according to the
German Institute of Islamic Archives.
Aachen,
Germany-occupied city of 257,000 inhabitants on the border of Belgium
and 9 percent of the population is Muslim, recently approving the
construction of a large mosque.
"It is an indication that some members of the Muslim community became important community," said Mayor cities, Jurgen Linden.
His
words proved to be true when the Muslims who want to be featured as a
terrorist religion, but is increasingly found a place in the hearts of
many members of the community â € "without a massive campaign denouncing
other religions or who already has a strong presence in the European
countries involved.
The
cooperation and patience among Muslims was enough evidence of the
greatness of Islam as a religion of peace and the emergence of a mosque
dome overcome tower of the church in Germany is only the beginning of
the beginning of the rise of Islamic rays on European soil.
