One might almost get the idea that some people in the mosque were planning some violence, rather than peacefully devoting their time to pacifically studying the book of peace. But that would be “Islamophobic.”
“Guns and ammunition discovered in Xanthi mosque,” Neos Kosmos, March 29, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Police seized guns and ammunition from a mosque in Xanthi on Tuesday, after authorities were tipped off reports ANA-MPA.
In the mosque located just over an hour-and-a-half away from the Turkish border in the village of Iliopetra, police found a .22 pistol, a .38 pistol with a silencer, and a Flobert hunting rifle along with thirty cartridges.
Following the raid all findings were sent to the Forensic Service’s laboratories in Athens, and the imam was arrested for the possession of illegal weapons and to be questioned over the matter….
marina says
And the mosque should have been razed to the ground.
abad says
This.
Islam has no place in Greece.
gravenimage says
Unfortunately, Greece was under the Islamic heel for centuries.
Greece bravely fought for her freedom, and gained it in the 19th century. That she is now allowing hordes of Muslims to enter shows how much the West has forgotten her history.
mortimer says
No, GI… the Greek revolutionaries committed a COMPLETE GENOCIDE of all Muslims living in the territories they conquered. All Muslims were systematically murdered in mass genocides. The revolution would have failed without the support of France, Germany and Great Britain and their navies and weapons. The Ottomans also committed many genocides, but two wrongs do not make a right, do they? You have a typical romanticized impression of the period based on flowery propaganda disguising the vicious historical facts of stone-age savagery. ‘BRAVE’? Genocide is not ‘brave’, but despicable crimes against humanity.
don vito says
But Mortimer, how else do you fight islam? Otherwise Greece would now look like modern day irak, Greece with no Greeks.
J says
From what I remember it wasn’t a complete genocide, there were population transfer agreements that sent the remaining Muslims to the Ottoman empire and brought Orthodox people from the Ottoman empire to Greece because both sides saw that as the most peaceful way forward.
As far as whether it was brave or not well it’s much less cowardly than what most of Europe is doing at the moment.
gary says
Gee…. What a surprise. The “Religion of Peace” sharing it’s world view.

Jack says
If I was Sweden they would e asked them if they had enough ammunition.
marc says
“a .38 pistol with a silencer”
like to see him explain that one, that’s not your regular jihadi kit, wonder what he was upto?
mccode says
The considerate fellow probably didn’t want to disturb his fellow jihadis prayers with a loud bang during the next massacre.
cyrus basile says
In the mosque place of peace found weapons? May not be true, will have been the Pope Crusader Rome to hide them, Muslims do not know the violence. Have the Koran, which is a book of peace and the Muslims have never done any harm to anyone until today and in the past 1430 years.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban to refugees:
“If you can fight European Police on their streets, why can’t you fight ISIS?”

Well said, Viktor!
gravenimage says
Of course, these pious Muslims have no interest in fighting ISIS–most of them are in agreement with what ISIS stands for–which after all, is just mainstream Islam.
LilyDarcey says
I find it tragic that the countries which have strict gun laws disarm law abiding citizens, who carry a gun to defend themselves from savages like moslems. Moslems are above the law, it seems. It’s called moslem privilege. Sadly, there are a lot of Kumbaya liberals who defend them.
Paul N Silas says
It looks like a 9mm Glock, not a .38. .38’s are revolvers.
I was under the impression that all mosques stored weapons. In places like Gaza, they fire artillery and rockets from them and when our troops were fighting the Jihadists in Iraq, they often used them as a fort/bunker.
Infidel in TX says
Not all weapons that fire a .38 round are revolvers.
Ed Lee says
I have no problem with them having firearms. It’s how they use them that counts. A bad guy with a gun can only be stopped by a good guy with a gun. I’ll wager that you could find a far greater number of guns and ammunition in many churches here in the United States. Arm yourselves. Refuse to be a victim.
gravenimage says
A lot of Christians have arms in the United States, certainly.
But your idea that Churches in America are stockpiling weaponry is *very much* mistaken.
Ed Lee says
I didn’t say stockpiling. But, if churches aren’t strategically placing firearms within their structures, for quick access in case of an attack, they are being naive and foolish. My advice stands. Arm yourselves. Get proficient. And especially, refuse to be a victim.Submitting to any demand from Islam is interpreted by Muslims as a weakness to be exploited.
berserker says
We are told that Islam is peaceful. Why does it matter if there are guns in a Mosque? Surely, the peaceful Muslims will not use them to kill Kafirs, will they? Very confusing.
robm says
hmmm, a 22, 380, and a silenced 45…

Greece: Guns and ammunition discovered in mosque, imam arrested
…………………
I wonder what bloody Jihad they had planned? Glad the Greek authorities caught them in time. But now Greece is overrun with Mohammedans, and there will be many more cases like this one.
dumbledoresarmy says
I wonder how many known mosques there are in Greece?
Probably not as many as in, say, the UK or Australia.
But now might be a good time for the police – and the *army* – in Greece, a country where there would be few or no Muslims within said police or army, to surprise-raid and search *all* known mosques… and shut down, and raze to the ground, any in which weaponry was found. Or drugs. Or counterfeit cash. Or inexplicable stashes of *real* cash. Or – use sniffer dogs! – traces of *either* explosives or illegal drugs or the chemical precursors for same.
Robert says
why would a mosque in Greece need riffles, guns and ammunition? To keep the mosquitos out?
davej says
They are just defending “the religion of peace” from the backlash of the ‘phobes.
Mosques are their barracks, minarets are their missiles, prayers are their declarations of war
pat says
Never trust the press to know shit about guns. The rifle is a .22 long rifle, single shot. Rimfires are call Floberts in continental Europe. The small pistol might be a .22, but it appears to be a .380 ACP known as a 9mm corto in Europe.The 9mm is the most interesting. It is a Glock or a Glock knockoff with a sound suppressor. In Europe that gun means nothing but serious trouble. It is a Federal offense in America unless you have permit (expensive but doable), in Europe it is jail. It is the only gun in the bunch that raises a red flag.
I am going to say all of these guns were turned in to the Imam by parishioners and he kept them instead of throwing them in the ocean.
RichardL says
The 9mm pistol is not a Glock: it has a serrated frame. It is might an ASA: Austrian Sporting Arms, but it looks more rounded than the models I know.
The silencer is indeed the remarkable thing: I have never seen one in Europe. Greece has weird gun laws and law enforcement is Greece is sketchy. It might even be legal to have a silencer.
August West says
That is a lame arsenal.
Not sure about the rifle.
If that 9mm is a glock it has the wrong mag. That not certainly not a glock mag.
The .380 looks like a sig p238
At most there is 150 rounds of ammo.
By comparison in my safe there are….
Glock 30 .45
Glock 19 9m
Glock21 .45
Springfield 1911 .45
S AND W .357 magnum revolver
Century arms AK 47 semi auto
Colt 5.56 carbine semi auto
Colt 7,62 carbine semi auto
Rem 870 tactical shotgun
Mossberg 930 semi auto shotgun
That is just what I feel like typing.
And over 10k rounds of ammo
That Greek mosque is lame.
TonySaliba says
The Greeks will rue the day that they allowed these people into their country.
PKG says
Lord knows what will happen if the Greek govt proceeds with building the mosque in Athens! What a total disgrace..all the revolutionaries will be turning in their graves!!! Greece is the only capitol in Europe that does not have a mosque except for a few on the far north Greek – Turkish border…..Greece has always born the brunt of threats from the East since time immemorial….it was the Greeks (thanks to the Spartans who lead the coalition against the vast Persian empire in the battle of Thermopylae and the battle of Plateia) who were the bulwark of Western freedom and civilisation)……The Greeks were under the Ottomans for 400 years and are still being threatened by Erdogan…what do you expect them to have done..lie down and take it!!!!
Angemon says
What, no AK-47s?
