Muslim Countries Build Mosques in the West While Persecuting Christians at Home
Muslim Countries Build Mosques in the West While Persecuting Christians at Home
Construction of Islamic worship centers funded by Turkey, Qatar, and Iran has been welcomed by Western politicians eager to court the Muslim immigrant vote.

The €25 million project is mostly funded by the “Islamic Community National View” (IGMG), a Turkish Islamic organization that manages 518 mosques and 2330 branches across Europe as well as in Australia and Canada.
In 2025, French MEP Marion Maréchal said that the organization was accused of “promoting a separatist, Muslim Brotherhood-style Islam”:
This radical organization is being used by [Turkish President] Erdoğan’s regime to maintain control over Turkish immigrant communities here in our country.
Maréchal added that French and European politicians, on both the Left and Right, have rolled out the red carpet for Islamic communities with subsidies, building permits, loans, and land—all to buy their votes in elections. This compromise, openly embraced on the left, sometimes concealed on the right, comes at the cost of our security, and our identity, secularism, national cohesion, and, of course, the fight against Islamism.
This major mosque project in Strasbourg is the Eyyub Sultan Mosque (also referred to as the Grand Mosque of Strasbourg). Work on the project began in 2017. It is being constructed by the Germany-based “Islamic Community National View” or “Islamische Gemeinschaft Mili Görüş” (IGMG), which is reportedly supported through funding from Turkey and Qatar.urkey, whose current government supports the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), actively engages in mosque-building in the U.S., Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and other regions. The Turkish government spends hundreds of millions of dollars building mosques as part of a long-term effort to globally promote Islam.
Turkey’s state-run Presidency of Religious Affairs, known as the Diyanet, has joined with the Turkish Religious Affairs Foundation (TDV) to construct mosques, as well as Islamic educational and cultural centers, across the world—in places such as the US, Russia, Germany, Sweden, England, Venezuela, and Japan.
In 2016, for instance, a gigantic Ottoman-style mosque was opened in Maryland, U.S., by Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. In 2018, Erdoğan inaugurated another mosque, the ‘Cologne Central Mosque,’ in Germany. The mosque was built by the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB) after eight years of construction work.

At home, however, Turkey is busy desecrating or abusing historical churches. Turkey has even turned the world’s greatest cathedral into a mosque. In 2020, President Erdoğan ordered the conversion of the nearly 1,500-year-old Byzantine-era Greek Orthodox Church, Hagia Sophia, back into a mosque after a court annulled a 1934 presidential decree that had made it a museum.
Two green Ottoman flags are placed inside the Hagia Sophia. The flag represents Ottoman military conquests, and the three white crescents on it symbolize the Ottoman occupation of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Turkey formally converted another Byzantine-era Greek church, the Church of St. Savior in Chora (known as Kariye in Turkish), into a mosque in 2020. This occurred soon after it had turned Hagia Sophia into a Muslim house of prayer.

There is not a single Muslim-majority country across the world where Muslims can convert to Christianity and continue living their lives in a free and safe manner. Christian converts risk discrimination, arrest, harassment, sexual or physical violence, surveillance by authorities, and even death. Muslim governments systematically restrict Christian worship and the distribution of Bibles, even deporting Christian migrants or pastors who proselytize Muslims. The same governments that persecute their Christian and ex-Muslim citizens have built thousands of mosques and Islamic centers across Western countries—sometimes even with EU funding. It appears that Islam is on a determined mission to conquer the world, and the West is busy bowing down to it.
Commentary:
Taking advantage of “freedom of religion” as practiced in Christian-majority countries, while denying any such reciprocity in Muslim-majority countries.
Curious mindset. 'Tolerating the Intolerant'. Why is it tolerated?
Muslims are buying up churches all over the country and turning them into Mosques. I have no proof but I think they are burning churches down too. Then buy them up when the church can’t afford to repair them. St.Paul’s church in Orlando, lead by a black female pastor, almost burned down the other day, complete with “racist graffiti.”
churches in Brooklyn have been converted into Muslim mosques, reflecting the growing Muslim population in the area. For example, an abandoned church was transformed into a community center that includes a mosque, highlighting the shift in community demographics.
