FLASH NEWS: Greece vs. The "Islamization" of Europe? Greece has officially declared war on illegal religious spaces. The government has confirmed it is shuttering 60 mosques across the country and has introduced a "get out" policy for those behind them. AI video depicting the fact that Greek government, specifically through Minister of Migration Thanos Plevris, announced a crackdown in early February 2026 targeting illegal places of worship. While many of these are "basement mosques" or apartment prayer rooms, the law (Law 5224/25) technically applies to any unlicensed religious site, regardless of the faith. The number "60" refers to specific sites identified by authorities as operating without permits from the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs. In Greece, religious sites must meet strict safety, health, and zoning regulations to be licensed. Is this a necessary move to protect national identity and the rule of law? Or is Greece crossing a dangerous line by using deportation as a weapon against religious practice? ​WHERE DO YOU STAND? Should other European countries follow suit, or is this a violation of basic rights?
