Church OKs Muslim cemetery in Athens

[half greek]

Archbishop Ieronymos has given the go-ahead for the creation of a Muslim cemetery in Athens, Deputy Foreign Minister Theodoros Kassimis said yesterday after talks with the new Church leader.

“His Beatitude Ieronymos was already prepared and told me that we should move forward and realize (the project),” Kassimis said following his talks with the archbishop.

The move signals the desire of the Orthodox Church “to communicate and embrace all of the country’s residents irrespective of their religious persuasion,” the deputy minister enthused.

The Church has donated 3 hectares of land, worth an estimated 13 million euros, for the creation of a Muslim cemetery in western Athens. In July 2006 the Greek government approved the building of a mosque near the center of Athens although works have yet to begin.

If this keeps going it will give Muslims more reasons to come to Greece and before you know it Arabs and Pakistanis will swarm like insects into Greece just like they have done in western Europe. Soon they will demand special rights like polygamy, marriage between first cousins...etc. Something must be done to stop this!

This is disgusting. And this: "The move signals the desire of the Orthodox Church “to communicate and embrace all of the country’s residents irrespective of their religious persuasion,” the deputy minister enthused" This is the desire of the church? The job of the church is to preach Christianity and to spread it, not to embrace other religions!

I can't wait to see what happens when muslims start getting offended by Christian symbols, etc in Greece and demand they be removed . What is the "church" going to do then? They have to accomadate them, after all they want to embrace and communicate with every religion.

exactly it's already happened in britain....in some counties people aren't allowed to say merry christmas because it isn't politically correct. if people go to live in another country then they should live and abide by the laws of that country and not try to change them

Why did the church agree to such an aberration ? What is the motive of it. ? I understand the stooges and parasites in the government taking parkinsonian actions of this nature, but the church ?

This action is an acknowledgement of muslims being accepted and recognized as an integral element in our country. This action is anti-greek. As it is ,already there is an overabundance of sewer rats from Bangladesh, Pakistan and arabia, loitering and pestering our streets; now that they can be buried here, it is an encoruagement for more of this vermin to enter our land. Madness has no limits.

Anyone who is offended by Christian symbols shouldn't move to a country with a flag like Greece's. That should be their first clue that they are in a Christian land.

You think they care? They are doing it all over Europe and their requests seem to be getting met. In the Netherlands, no more Santa Claus for the kindergarten classes at Christmas time because it's offensive to the muslim children. One example from England last year was the traditional Christmas time bread the English make in some parts. I think they are called hot cross buns, they have a cross cut into them, well they are offensive to muslims. So, no more hot cross buns. It's nothing short of insanity.
