Turks.US Daily News: Athens Muslims Dream of City's First Mosque (731 words)
Muslims say Paiania is too far away for the minority, which is mainly based in central Athens, but their options are limited.
However, the Greek people, especially residents of Paiania where the mosque is planned to set up, are still angry at the plans to establish the Muslim worship place.
Paiania Mayor Paraskevas Papakostopoulos said residents are angry that the mosque site is on a hill, meaning the mosque will be visible from far and seen by visitors flying into the airport.
Middle East Online (632 words)
The promoters of the project, which is being funded by Saudi Arabia, are therefore hoping that the Games will provided the needed impetus to get the building up, but the mayor of the suburb selected has in effect declared that he doesn't want it in his backyard.
In 2000, with Athens already selected for the Games, the then-Socialist government announced that it had granted a large plot of land in the suburban town of Paiania, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of the city centre and near to Athens' international airport, for the project.
At that time the mayor of Paiania, close to the Socialists, accepted the plan, but his conservative successor Paraskevas Papakostopoulos, elected last year, has said the choice of his town was "arbitrary," and got the local council to reject it.
