First 'Grand Mosque' opens in Denmark
Thanks to some 20 million euros from Qatar, Denmark's Muslims have their first 'Grand Mosque', complete with a minaret.
Dubbed Scandinavia's biggest 'real' mosque, the vast complex in Copenhagen also houses a community centre and other facilities.
Nine years ago, a Danish newspaper outraged Muslims by publishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. The most famous depicted him wearing a bomb in his turban.
The images triggered riots in Muslim countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia in 2...

Denmark's largest Shia mosque opens
(12 Oct 2015) LEAD IN:
Denmark's largest Shia mosque has opened it's doors in the capital, Copenhagen.
After years in the works, the Imam Ali Mosque began operating this month – drawing a packed-out crowd for Friday prayers.
STORY-LINE:
Imam Sayed Mohammed Mahdi Khademi leads Friday prayers at the Imam Ali mosque in Copenhagen.
Worshippers cover almost every inch of the prayer hall. So much so that Latecomers are forced to find a spot in the lobby.
The size of the crowd is understandable.
This is Denmark's largest Shia mosque, which opened its doors on 1 October after years of anticipation.
The 3,700 square metre (39,830 square feet) building lies on a quiet side street in Copenhagen's multicultural Nordvest (literally north-west) neighbourhood.
It has a capacity of 1,500 people - including up to 480 in the 250-square-metre (2,690 sqaure feet) prayer room which features Iranian marble, a glittering chandelier and a plush Persian carpet.
Few people are more grateful that the mosque has opened than Imam Khademi himself.
I thank the Danish people and I thank the Danish government, he says. I also thank the Christian people here in Denmark.
The City of Copenhagen approved plans for the mosque's construction in 2009.
But the mosque was built on the site of a former factory – and construction was stalled by the necessary clean-up operation.
Fundraising was also time-consuming.
Fearing that financial support from a government or regime would come with strings attached, the owners instead reached out to Shia benefactors around the world, including in Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and the United States.
According to a spokesman for the Imam Ali mosque the total amount raised for the Shia mosque was about 80 million Danish kroner (12.17 million US dollars).
By contrast, Denmark's largest Sunni mosque, built in 2014, was part financed by a 150 million Danish kroner (22.8 million US dollar) donation by the former ruling emir of Qatar.
The new Shia mosque's opening comes at a tense time for Danish Muslims, who comprise about four percent of its total population of 5.58 million (according to the CIA World Factbook).
Ten years ago to the week, a Danish newspaper published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, sparking deadly protests around the world.
In February, a Danish citizen of Palestinian origin killed two people in twin shootings in Copenhagen.
And anti-immigrant sentiment appears to be on the rise in parts of the country.
In September the new centre-right government took steps to discourage migrants and refugees – many of whom are Muslim – from coming to Denmark.
For Khademi, however, the mosque's opening shows how open Denmark is – and provides an opportunity to build bridges.
I am very happy that now we can show what Islam really is, he says. I am also very happy because the building of this mosque means that this is a democratic country.
For worshippers attending Friday prayers, the opening of the new mosque is a cause of celebration.
We are very glad and happy about this mosque, says one man. This mosque is a combination of both Asian and European civilisations.
Also in celebratory mood is Bijan Eskandani, the mosque's architect.
The 74-year-old says it was his first and last mosque - retirement beckons.
He is especially pleased with how well lit the prayer room is, thanks to a 25-metre-high dome through which sunlight streams.
Eskandani – who spent many years as chief architect for Copenhagen municipality – also expresses delight at the Nordic feel of the amphitheatre, which he says could be used as a conference centre or wedding venue.
It is very Scandinavian architecture, without any symbol of religion, because it can be used for many things, he explains.

Are you eating Halal in Denmark?
As we were driving through Copenhagen which leads to the City Centre admiring the architecture we learnt that 50 000 Muslims live there and a side street takes you to a very big mosque with no minaret.
Passing by Pakistani restaurant triggered off a discussion on Halal Foods. Monitoring takes place once a year to see if procedure is followed. I was shocked to learn that mechanical slaughter is used and also the chickens are stunned through a waterbed that is electrified.
What does Danish Law say if there is lots of blood on the chicken?
