Slovenian Prime Minister Borut Pahor supports the idea of building a mosque in Slovenia, but insists that its appearance should not engender intolerance. In talks with Slovenian mufti Nedzad Grabus, Pahor said on Thursday that he backed the construction of the first mosques in Slovenia and a religious center for Muslims, but added that their appearance must not be allowed to incur the intolerance of those who oppose the idea. Slovenia mulls mosque construction Pahor said that he was convinced that the architects commissioned to build the mosques would be wary of not upsetting those who are against the building plans. He said that building mosques would consolidate the conditions for a modern and open society in Slovenia. Muslims in Slovenia have been clamoring for the construction of a mosque in the country for over 30 years. Religious services for Muslims in Slovenia are usually performed in rented-out sports centers. The first mosque is expected to be built in Ljubljana, near the center of the city, even though opponents of the construction say that a mosque, with its minarets, would undermine the city’s cultural identity. Certain public figures in Slovenia have even gone so far as to say that mosques could serve as a new gathering point for would-be terrorists.
