Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Sweden: Muslims seek foreign funding for mega mosque to serve dramatic Muslim pop. increase

May 6, 2019 10:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“The Muslim community in the Swedish municipality of Växjö has increased so dramatically, according to local leaders, that they are now planning to build a giant mosque to hold at least 1,000 people, possibly with the help of foreign backers in the Middle East.”

Sweden has long been a hotbed of Islamization and last year Muslims pushed for the Islamic call to prayer all over the country. “Avdi Islami, spokesman of Växjö’s Muslim Foundation, explained that he wanted more mosques to do the same as in Växjö and apply for permission for prayer calls, so that the Muslim message can be heard across the country.”

Now in the words of a local Imam in that same municipality of Vaxjo:

“We may be able to get help from rich Arab countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, or the United Arab Emirates. A Muslim considers it a good thing to help other Muslims build a mosque where there is no mosque”…..

The foreign funding of mosques which preach salafi ideology is proliferating in the West and has been a problem for some time. Back in 2011, Chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security, New York Republican Rep. Peter King held a series of hearings about the growth of jihadi ideology in America. King at that time concluded that 80 percent of mosques in America were controlled by ‘radical Imams’. It is the same elsewhere and the the threat has worsened since 2011.

Foreign funding of mosques needs to end, while mosques and Islamic centers should be investigated for jihadi material in print; and the preaching of Imams need to be monitored.  Jihadist promoting organizations, mosques and Islamic centers should not be existing in any Western country. It is not “Islamophobic” to base homeland safety strategies on the facts about the global war on jihad terror.

“Swedish Muslims Look to Foreign Funding to Build Mega Mosque”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitart, May 5, 2019:

The Muslim community in the Swedish municipality of Växjö has increased so dramatically, according to local leaders, that they are now planning to build a giant mosque to hold at least 1,000 people, possibly with the help of foreign backers in the Middle East.

Local imam Ismail Abuhelal said that the current mosque, the Växjö Muslim Foundation which was founded around 15 years ago, is simply not big enough to house the growing number of worshippers in the area, Lokaltidningen reports.

“When we celebrate that Ramadan is over and in connection with the trip to Mecca there can be up to 2,000 people who come to the mosque, then we have had to use the old Folkets park or be outdoors,” Abuhelal said.

The imam added that the new mosque would be a mix of traditional and modern architecture and would feature a prominent minaret, as well.

Last year the Muslim community was able to get permission from local authorities to broadcast the call to prayer publicly, despite opposition from the populist Sweden Democrats who voiced their concerns saying, “Prayer announcements in public places and in foreign languages are not part of Swedish society.”

Imam Abuhelal admitted that so far the community has not sought out the proper planning permission from the government to build the mosque but said he was hopeful it would be built by around 2025.

“We may be able to get help from rich Arab countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, or the United Arab Emirates. A Muslim considers it a good thing to help other Muslims build a mosque where there is no mosque,” he said.

“We have had contacts with those countries about this. We have not received any promises, but there are people there who are willing to help with money to build the mosque,” he added…..

    The bishops of the Church of Sweden have a responsibility to develop programs to convert the Muslims in Sweden. Get working.

    The unfettered invasion of Sweden by Muslims who never acclimate – what could possibly go wrong!?
    The Swedish tax paying citizens are supporting the illegals with housing, welfare, medical, etc etc. Only a small percentage of the Muslim immigrants actually work. And crimes are ever increasing too.
    Now they want a giant mosque and others to pay for it! Sweden is all but lost! Like Germany, France, England, Spain, etc etc. they are losing their sovereignty and their identity!
    Wake up world before it’s too late!
    God save Christianity! God save the world!

    Idiotic Paki minister claims the Hubble Telescope as Pakistan’s contribution to science..
    How blatant can lying get.. But a few years back, when India sent a successful probe to Mars, an Indian Muslim closet Jehaadi minister made a bold claim that all the scientists behind the successful Mars mission of India were Muslims. Another minister claimed that all the soldiers who gave India victory over Pakistan in the 1998 Siachen Glacier attacks, were all Indian Muslims.. The lies get more and more blatant as Muslim population increases. When Islam finally takes over an infidel land, all the past glories of the infidel becomes its…A parasite in all aspects.

    Foreign countries will send Muslim groups money to build a Mosque, but won’t send money to help support the Muslim populations worldwide or are these foreign countries, doing both?

  5. mortimer says

    May 6, 2019 at 10:41 am

    If Arab dictatorships provide the money for this mega-project, you’d better believe there will be strings attached and that SALAFIST JIHADISM will be part of the deal.

    The mosques built by Soddy Barbaria around the world are staffed by Soddy appointees who are loyal to Soddy and their backward culture.

    Foreign money in Sweden means foreign loyalties.

    Go ahead, Swedes, destroy your country some more. We’re watching … it’s like watching Notre Dame burn and crash.

    I’ve been to Växjö, several times. Never could pronounce Växjö properly! Perhaps the city’s new masters can change its name to something that’s easier to say. Like New Mogadisu, or something.

    The construction of the many mosques in both in Sweden and the other nations of Europe not only means that more people in Sweden and the other European countries are now being proselytized to Islam. This may be disturbing enough. In addition, this mass construction of mosques on in Sweden and the other European nations have still a further meaning which has been explained by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, in his book ISLAM THE HOUSE I LEFT BEHIND for in page 99 it informs the reader that “The mosque is vital for establishing Muslims as sovereign over non-Muslims in a non-Islamic society or country. Building a mosque in a non-Islamic society or country symbolizes Islam’s claim over that society or country, even with a non-Muslim majority.”

    About the funding of this new grand mosque and other Islamic places in the nation of Sweden , this main top article of site well expounded the truth then it informs the reader that “Foreign funding of mosques needs to end, while mosques and Islamic centers should be investigated for jihadi material in print; and the preaching of Imams need to be monitored.”

    This also apply to the other European nations as well as to America and Canada .

    Related to this , the above article also mentions the Islamic kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which has not and will not spare any of its vast oil wealth as to use its financial resources to fund and promote the advancement of Islam by and through the jihad. By this it means both the stealth jihad and even the subtle support violent jihad.
    As explained, for example in the book HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD by William Wagner. For on pages 109, 110. The reader is informed that “The Wall Street journal on April 15, 2003 published an article titled ‘In law Seminars, A Saudi Group Spreads Extremism.’ The article began by saying ‘In late February more than 300 young men from across Europe gathered for a weekend seminar on Islamic Law put on by Al-Waqf al-Islaami Foundation.’ The article went on to explain that the most famous graduates from the seminar were half a dozen members of the group of young men from Hamburg, Germany, who plotted the September 11, attacks. The language of the was Dutch, but ‘the message was imported from Saudi Arabia, via Saudi books and lecturers who taught a strict orthodox interpretation of Islam.’ “

    Further on the very same page of 110 the information is given that “TIME MAGAZINE , in an article on Saudi Arabia: Inside the Kingdom,’ stated ‘Apart from channeling money to foundations that have assisted terrorist groups, Saudis have for years supported institutions abroad the propagate Wahhabism.’”
    In addition to all this, in the book of the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS, by Robert Spencer on pages 333 through 337.Mr Spencer provides valid information of the subject of “ The Saudi involvement in September 11.”

    So with that Islamic regime of Saudi Arabia and its oil money support the different type of the jihad, both stealth and the violent kind, with its Islamic agenda advancement and spread , influence and infiltration of the Western nations ,this kingdom of Saudi Arabia is no friend at all of America or any other country of the West.

    How ironic! The first feminist government in the world has successfully emasculated Swedish men and imported and facilitated Muslims by the thousands in order to obliterate itself and its achievements. Sweden (and Europe) has found the most effective and shortest path towards decomposition. Congratulations and Allahu Akbar!

      May 7, 2019 at 1:01 am

      Europeans choose losers to be leaders. May, Macron, Merkel and that feminist Swedish PM are are all childless and pathetic. They seem to believe that Muslim immigrants will breed their next generation of taxpayers. Ha Ha! Good luck with that. Cucked Europe still doesn’t understand how Islam works.

  11. CRUSADER says

    May 6, 2019 at 5:24 pm

    If this means concentrating Muzzies into one large location so they can be monitored and tracked, this would be useful. Aside from proselytizing their vile message via growing mosque influence, this could parallel what Sweden has figured out for the human-sex-“trafficking” problem: arrest the perpetrators but not the victims.
    In this case, the Islam pushers are the perps. The victims are the simple and ignorant Swedes who only hear of how Islam can be a Solution and come to hear about it.

    This is indeed an IDEOLOGICAL fight, and there needs to be a massive counter effort to it all, in various ways. Jihad Watch points to some of that. Having an alternative for Spiritual seekers who desire deeper believe in Monotheism is necessary, but the Lutherans in Sweden have low attendance rates. Evangelism and Charismatics would aid growth of Christianity in Scandinavia.

    Ignition is necessary!

    “Ignite Your Life TV” recently debuted by Barry Meguiar in early 2019

    “There’s nothing that compares with the privilege, with the experience of moving somebody into a knowledge of Jesus Christ,” Meguiar told CBN News. “There’s nothing in the human experience – in the human psyche – that compares with that. And we can do it every day.”

    Meguiar became a man on a mission – starting a ministry called Revival Outside the Walls. Its goal is to build excitement and foster purpose among Christians, inspiring them to share their faith beyond the walls of the church.

    I have included a YouTube video regarding a conversation between Katie Hopkins and Dominik Tarczyński, of the Law & Justice Party, Poland.

    At the 11 minute mark, Dominik discusses the offer of Saudi Arabia to build a mosque in Poland.

    This mindset is the reason that Poland is essentially Muslim free – while Sweden is being overrun.

      Seen this video before, he’s not committed to keeping muslims out completely which is a worry. They’re a leftist party so they can never be completely trusted. Keep a close eye on them Poles.

      • James Lincoln says

        May 6, 2019 at 10:09 pm

        Bacherbazistan,

        I believe that you are mistaken. If I am wrong, I will gladly research your sources if you provide them.

        The Law and Justice party is a National Conservative, Christian Democratic political party in Poland. It is definitely right of center.

        During the 2015 Polish parliamentary election, they beat out the governing Civic Platform party. The Civic Platform party had planned to bring in several thousand Muslim migrants but this was overturned by the Law and Justice party.

        All the research that I have done about Poland tells me that they definitely do not want to bring in any Muslim migrants.

        Pew Research puts the current Muslim population at 0.1%. Even with a high migration scenario, Poland is not expected to have Muslim population above 0.2% in 2050.

          By which time, people from W.Europe (who can afford to move) will be clamouring to get into Islam-free Poland (and Hungary).

          Hopkins says “Italy is leading the charge against illegal immigration in W.Europe.”. Possibly.

          I live in S. Italy. Yesterday I turned into a temporary racist. Two Moslem immigrants, husband and wife, caused trouble at the supermarket checkout, a problem with payment. It was the only checkout, so a long queue developed as we waited.

          After 10 minutes I said, “a lot of people are waiting !” but it didn’t have any effect on them, they were indifferent to the queue.

          What struck me immediately was their clothing. The woman was wearing a black headscarf, but otherwise both of them were dressed head to foot in expensive, fashionable, absolutely brand new clothes, and new shoes. I couldn’t work it out, but I suppose I’m just Islamophobic.

    Swedish women, start getting used to be second class citizens and forget about western clothing, as you will be covered from top to bottom with a tent. Also forget about selecting your husband, it will be done on your behalf when you are a baby and married at 13. You got 15 years to get use to it. Give thanks to your extreme socialist prime minister.

    Muslims will not assimilate to the country they immigrate. Their intention is to enslave every country to Islam. The ONLY way for free men and women to survive the Saudi Arabia funded Muslim invasion is to refuse them entrance to your country. An apocalyptic war is brewing people. The bible calls it Armageddon? Until that time, there will be tribulation like never seen in America. It’s already started in Europe, Asia, Africa and Middle East. Keep your powder dry!

    All mosques should subject to surveillance occasionally. Any mosque found to be endorsing Islamic supremacy or menacing tendencies should be subject to intense surveillance. If it continues then the mosque should be raised to the ground, call in the bulldozers.
