Stockholm's Muslims are overcrowded. The county has only two mosques - but now is six new ones planned. In the Stockholm City are mosques planned in Skärholmen, Rinkeby and Tensta. Mosques are also planned to be built in the suburbs of Haninge, Botkyrka and Nacka. These six are the ones that have come a little further than just the conceptual stage. But there are also several other Muslim communities, who currently resides in for example basements, who has shown interest to build mosques. (SR)

Are muslim countries letting churches to be built on their ground? You need to ensure freedom of religious belief and practise, but in a non-sptiritual western society, people should adapt instead of go building mosques and keeping so strong traditional beliefs with strict rules that might not be in accordance with the country´s law as they limit personal freedom. Why do you move somewhere and try to be the same you were? If you don´t like the customs of your new place just don´t go there

Sweeden beware, u are allowing too much for muslims and will regret once muslims start dictating terms to u. U think they would allow u to build any church in muslim lands? yet u still allow them and knowing their hate for all of us? God bless us all for we allow them too much and this could lead to our own children exposed to their tyranny and conversion. Come on all of u, pls dont fall prey to these muslims now and pay a great price later

Has anyone even thought to ask where the money is coming from for these mosques and what kind of preachers will be there? There should be a law prohibiting all foreign financing for mosques and the state should have the right to reject (ideally deport) any preacher that violates the Swedish constitutional order. These need to be highly regulated or else Stockholm will turn into London -- just another major gathering place for extremists who want to impose Shariah on Swedish citizens.
