On 7 June 2019, Greek Education and Religious Affairs minister Costas Gavroglou addressed a crowd of about one hundred Muslims, journalists, and state offi cials at the “inauguration” of the government’s partially constructed, purpose-built mosque in Athens: “Athens now has a dignifi ed place of worship for Muslims whether they are citizens or migrants, refugees, or visitors. The right to pray to the god you believe in, like the right of a child to go to school, does not depend on the circumstances under which someone arrived here. Everyone has these rights. They are non-negotiable human rights” (Speed 2019). By 2019, there were nearly 300,000 Muslims in Athens, yet it remained the only European capital without an operational mosque. After the offer of Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd to build an exquisite mosque in Athens was refused, a 2006 presidential decree committed the Greek government to build the fi rst mosque in the city since Ottoman rule ended in 1821. Numerous delays halted construction, including in 2014 when contractors refused to take on the project out of fear of violent attacks from members of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party; Muslims are the most frequent targets of their racist attacks (Palivos 2018: 272).

2019年6月7日,希腊教育和宗教事务部长科斯塔斯·加夫罗格卢(Costas Gavroglou)在雅典政府部分建成的专用清真寺的“就职典礼”上向约100名穆斯林、记者和国家官员发表讲话:“雅典现在为穆斯林提供了一个有尊严的礼拜场所,无论他们是公民、移民、难民还是游客。向你所信仰的上帝祈祷的权利,就像孩子上学的权利一样,并不取决于某人到达这里的情况。每个人都有这些权利。它们是不容谈判的人权”(《速度》2019)。到2019年,雅典有近30万穆斯林,但它仍然是唯一一个没有清真寺的欧洲首都。沙特阿拉伯国王法赫德(King Fahd)在雅典修建一座精美清真寺的提议遭到拒绝后,2006年的一项总统令要求希腊政府在雅典修建自1821年奥斯曼帝国统治结束以来的第一座清真寺。多次延误导致施工暂停,包括2014年,由于担心新纳粹金色黎明党(Golden Dawn party)成员的暴力袭击,承包商拒绝承接该项目;穆斯林是他们种族主义攻击的最常见目标(帕里沃斯2018:272)。随着激进左翼联盟党(SYRIZA)在2015年的选举中获胜,修建清真寺的计划重新启动
