Belgium takes control of Brussels Grand Mosque over concerns it promotes jihad terror
Belgium is taking back control of the Grand Mosque of Brussels by terminating Saudi Arabia's lease of the building with immediate effect over concerns it promotes radicalism, the government said on Friday.
The announcement is Belgium's first official confirmation of the move which comes after months of behind the scenes diplomacy to prevent any fall-out with Saudi Arabia, as reported in February.
Concerns over Brussels' biggest mosque, located near the European Union's headquarters, surfaced after Islamist militants who plotted their assault in Brussels killed 130 people in Paris in 2015, and 32 in the Belgian capital in 2016.
Friday's decision breaks Saudi Arabia's unusual 99-year, rent free use of the building, the government said.
How many mosques promote jihad, Jew hatred and hatred of the unbeliever? In the USA, 80% of the mosques according to a comprehensive study. And yet, no action has been taken.
Imams in the US are spewing hatred with impunity with the sanction of the left dominated media, academia, and other influential institutions. Opposition to these exhortations to holy war are met with cries of "islamophobia" and "racism" (Islam is not a race).
The Grand mosque behind the Islamic attacks that killed 130 people in Paris in 2015, and 32 in the Belgian capital in 2016 is enjoys an unusual 99-year, rent free use of the building from the Belgian government. Incredible.
