Quoting tamikidakika

That doesn`t change the fact that there are more functioning churches in Turkey than the functioning mosques in Germany although the Muslim population of Germany is way larger than the Christian population of Turkey. I don`t think the abandoned churches has a relevance to the issue since most of them are older than 1000 years and in no shape to function.

 

Pleae give some proof of this, in another article it said that it´s impossible to build a church in turkey.

One remark: why do you call them Kurds when something wrong is done and demand they are Turkish when everything is fine?

 

 Maybe it is to remind you that kurds are not always the ones that are opressed!

It says that the christians in Turkey are of Armenian origin and it lists some old armenian and greek churches in places where these people used to live. These were built a long time ago. There was an article about expats sayiing that it´s hard for them to build a church where they need one, because they can´t get a permission for it.

 

Anyways, I think that if there is a large group of people of a certain religion, they shouldn´t have problems with building their own churche or mosque. I is just this double standard that´s the problem here (on top of your arrogant attitude).

Old article probably? According to this source: http://islamuswest.org/publications_islam_and_the_West/Muslim_Youth_Women_West/MIW_23.html 

there were 2300 mosques on a Muslim population of 2,3 million in Germany in 2006.

that number includes mosques and prayer spaces which basically means mescid. That is nothing but a small empty room which people can even set up in their own houses. That`s the reason why it says "real mosques" in the article I posted.

You have checked them all? {#lang_emotions_noway} And you have checked all functioning churches in Turkey too? Than you should know your assumption about Christian churches is as wrong as well. Many of the churches are nothing more than a former normal house.

I have never seen or heard of a church in a single room of an apartment flat, but you can find so many mescids like that.

 News flash! The fact that YOU have never seen or heard about it, does not mean it doesn´t exist!
