Headline News New mosque opens in Berlin Published Date: May 22, 2010 BERLIN: A new mosque that is one of the largest in Germany was officially opened yesterday in Berlin's Kreuzberg quarter, which has a strong Turkish presence. The mosque, which can hold around 1,000 people, is part of a complex that media reports said cost around ?10 million ($12.5 million) to build and was entirely financed by private Lebanese and Palestinian donors. The mosque is topped by a glass dome and four small minarets, and is part of a six-storey, 5,000-sq-m building that includes commercial and social centres and a library. Germany's largest mosque can accommodate 2,500 people and is in the city of Mannheim in the west of the country. The construction of mosques in Germany has prompted debate - as it has in other European countries - notably among the extreme right. - AFP [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
