Iranians sponsoring mosque in Copenhagen....

They wouldn't spread hatred, would they?

The new mosque to be built on Vibevej in Copenhagen’s North West district will be partially funded by Iranian sponsors, reports Kristeligt Dagblad newspaper.

The project is being headed by the Shia Muslim organisation Ahlul Bait and is expected to cost 50 million kroner. It was previously thought that the mosque would be funded solely by private donations from Danish Muslims.

The building’s architect, Bijan Eskandani, referred to a meeting in Tehran between the architect and financial backers in a letter to the City Council in May.

Eskandani confirmed that about 15 million kroner of financing had been secured from ‘two or three rich Iranians’. He stressed the Iranian government was not providing any funding.
