French Muslim leader: We need 5,000 new mosques and
you're not using your churches, so let us have them.

France’s
top Muslim official has suggested turning empty or abandoned Catholic churches
into mosques, saying as many as 5,000 are needed for the country’s Muslim
population - the largest in Europe.
“It’s a delicate issue, but why not?” Dalil Boubakeur, rector of the Grand Mosque
in Paris and the president of the French Council of Muslim Faith, told Europe 1
radio on Monday.
There
are currently about 2,500 mosques in France with another 300 under
construction, but the number falls short of what is needed, he said. With
roughly 5 million Muslims in France, at least 5,000 mosques are needed,
Boubakeur said.
