Turkey Is Building $100M Mosque in Maryland; Will Be Largest Islamic Architecture Site in West

The Islamist government of Turkey is building a 15-acre, $100 million mega-mosque in Lanham, Maryland, the Clarion Project website reports today (May 22, 2013). Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan visited the site on May 15 in a ceremony that was attended by leaders of two groups linked to the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.

The state of Maryland was officially represented at the event by its Secretary of State John McDonough.

The mega-mosque is called the Turkish American Culture and Civilization Center, and it is expected to become the largest and most striking example of Islamic architecture in the western hemisphere when it is finished in 2014.

On May 15, Prime Minister Erdogan spoke to hundreds of people at the construction site and said he would come back for the opening ceremony next year. Since taking office in 2003, Erdogan has been implementing his Islamist agenda, slowly but steadily changing Turkey from a secular democracy to an Islamist nation. The mosque being built in Maryland conveys Erdogan's desire to increase the Islamist influence in America.
