The files in the Copenhagen City Hall hold that the Iranian Government in 2001 has provided the money for the purchase of the land in the Vibevej, where the new mosque will be built. Nasser Ali Jafar Jasbi was 2001 Iranian Ambassador to Denmark; on his behalf, bonds amounting to $8.5 million for the Organization are issued to acquire the site. As Weekendavisen reported, the plot remains burdened with the mortgage, which the Iranian Government is using its de facto owner of the site on the Vibevej Ambassador. The new information is available now only for a few days, after the Kristeligt Dagblad claimed that Iran has provided money for the 40-50 million crowns-expensive construction of the Vibevej. Bijan Eskandani, Chief Architect of the project, knows nothing of grants of the Iranian Government and says the money came from two or three wealthy Iranians. It is the Kristeligt Dagblad failed to get an opinion of Imam Kalstrom on the new revelations. The spokesman of the Liberal Venstre party, Karsten Lauritzen, stressed his party was not against the construction of the mosque.
On the contrary, he’s holding that is the construction of a mosque part of free exercise of religion. But the information about the financial linkages between Ahl al-bait and the regime in the Iran thinking of giving him: “If the relations of Iran with the theocratic State, someone not with open cards plays. This is not very happy. At least opens the way for in-depth studies”this information, says Karsten Lauritzen. Naser Khader, the integration policy spokesman for the conservative people’s Party of Denmark, was slightly clearer: we need to have absolute transparency in the financing of religious communities, no matter whether they are mosques, Scientology, unity church or other groups. I’ll contact the Minister of Justice and the Department of religious affairs to find out which laws and possibilities we have to get this transparency and if we don’t have these laws, we should get,”he calls. In the Organization of “Free Iran”, which is dedicated to the development of democracy, the information trigger naked horror at the spokeswoman Jaleh Tavakoli: “State and” Religion are linked in the Iran in a very undemocratic way. It would be very frightening if a mosque would be built with Iranian money in Denmark.
On the one hand, they take advantage of the free exercise of religion in Denmark, as they pursue religious minorities in the Iran on the other side and suppress”she says. According to Aryan Tavakoli unsettle the information about the connection of Ahl al-bait’s to the Iranian Government many Iranians in exile, that the theocracy from the Iran fled. They fear that these channels and the future mosque could be used, not to lose their track and possibly expose her family in the Iran to reprisals. “We know that who emits the Iranian Government a lot of money for projects for religious propaganda purposes, which are directed against democratic values – there are very many examples in the United Kingdom. Meanwhile the Iran people are starving, children begging on the streets and can not attend school. It hurts to see this “, emphasized the Aryan Tavakoli.
