The number of mosques in Sweden has increased by 4,200% since the year 2000, RMX News reports.
In 2000, there were just seven mosques, but now Sweden has at least 300.
Exact figures are difficult to obtain, because official figures only refer to permanent places of worship with a minaret. There are also many more unofficial places of worship in the country that have been created in places like converted shops and basements.
Following a general trend in European countries, many of these mosques have been built with funding from the Middle East.
“In several cases, Swedish mosque construction has been partially or completely financed with money from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar or Turkey. In the case of Saudi Arabia alone, there is talk of billions. There is also information in the media that every fourth Swedish mosque is financed by the Sunni Muslim and Wahhabi kingdom,” writes Swedish newspaper Samnytt.
More mosques are currently being planned, including a mosque in Helsingborg that has been dubbed “Scandinavia’s largest mosque.” The equivalent of over 6 million euros have already been raised for its construction. Much of the money has been raised via social-media campaigns on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Another mosque, billed as the largest in all of Europe, is being planned in Stockholm, Sweden’s capital.
Government officials support the construction of new mosques.
“We have freedom of religion in this country, we have countless churches and not nearly as many mosques, so of course we need to build more mosques as long as it takes for people to be able to practice their religion,” said Karin Wanngård, Stockholm’s finance mayor.
In some parts of Sweden, such as the city of Malmö, ethnic Swedish children are already in the minority. Conservatives and right-wingers in Sweden point to Malmö as the future of Sweden’s cities, with massive ethnic enclaves that are no-go zones for native Swedes and especially women.
Migrants are now responsible for the overwhelming majority of murders, shootings, gang rapes and robberies in Sweden.
