Commies vs Caliphate: Muslims Demand Mosque from Castro

Not those Cuban Muslims

Cuba currently has zero mosques. Muslims are forced to meet and pray in the privacy of their own homes, reports the World Bulletin.

Pedro Lazo Torres, the leader of Havana’s Muslim community, decided to take action, joining forces with Turkey’s Religious Affairs Foundation (TDV).

In April, TDV assistant manager Mustafa Tutkun requested permission to begin construction on a large mosque, which was to be designed after the famous Ortakoy mosque in Istanbul.

Cuba might not exactly fancy being told to engage in a Caliphate glorification project by an Islamist NATO member. But the media, which jumps on any bit of Muslim grievance, has remained fairly silent.

In a fairly typical arrangement for Communist countries, Cuba has a mosque that foreign Muslim visitors can pray at, but not the locals, some of whom appear to have been converted to Islam back when Cuba was building ties with Pakistan. Its Muslim students began engaging in missionary activity.

And a local Muslim enclave and fifth column was set up.

Yahya was introduced to Islam by exchange students and converted more than a decade ago.

Many also find it hard to adopt certain Muslim customs here in the touchy-feely tropics. In Cuba, men and women usually greet each other with a kiss.

Ibrahim Kinsan, a physical therapist, says most of his co-workers are women. “Now I’ve converted to Islam, but I can’t just turn into an alien,” he told CNN. “Most of them greet me with a kiss and that tradition isn’t going to disappear.”

That’s what the mosque is for, to build a base community for Islamization.

Now Turkey, via its various arms, such as IHH, appears to be poking into Cuba.

    The stealth jihad being waged non-violently by design is alive and well inside Communist Cuba as well. All right!

    For once the Castro brothers have done something right and commendable.
    They should learn from the rest of the non-Muslim world where mosques are Jihad bases, and must never let Muslims build any in Cuba.
