Huge new mosque for Marseilles

Well, we have strict Islamic law in parts of Pakistan now, according to CNN. And it looks like Islamdom is growing nicely in France as well. I really think a semi-autonomous Islamic region in France is in the cards, quite possibly in Marseilles, in the coming decades.

Read all about it HERE. A taste:

A grand mosque measuring 2500 square meters, for 4000 persons, a Koranic school for 120 students, a restaurant accommodating 230, a library for 150 persons, an underground parking for 250 vehicles: the former stockyards will be converted into the largest Islamic site of the city and will spread out over 6500 square meters and will hold in all up to 8000 persons. The Mecca of Bouches-du-Rhône!
