There are more homeless in Bendigo than there are Muslims.

That probably explains why they spent $7.5 million on the housing facility then.

Johnnie wrote on Aug 7^th, 2019 at 1:29pm:

Maybe the Muslims might offer to put them up in one of their tax payer funded facilities.

I'm sure they'll be welcome at the Community Centre.

Welcome at the tax payer funded Muslim community center on the on the Muslim owned property,, yeah right.

Yes.

It's a Community Centre, which includes a mosque.

The main part of the structure is a sports hall, community centre, library and cafe.

The mosque only makes up about 20 to 30% of the project.

Why wouldn't they? Islam is an evangalising religion - it seeks out new converts, quite happily. You seem to see them as insular, remote, stand offish. Gee, I wonder why? Islamophobia perhaps? No, no, you've assured us you're not an Islamophobe, now haven't you? Or have you? Roll Eyes

Yes what!

Its all on Muslim owned property for Muslims funded by the Victorian taxpayers, any non Muslim who steps foot on that property had better watch their head and wash their feet on the way in.

Yes, they'll be welcome.

"It's a big step for the whole of Bendigo, because we are not just building for Muslims but for the community, so there is a sports hall and a cafe there," he said.

"The mosque is just a very small part of it... the rest of the complex is for the whole community who will benefit."

No they won't. Stop being an Islamophobic troll, Xeej. It's silly and it is pointless. Run along, back to your little kiddies' playground where you belong. Tsk, tsk. Roll Eyes

Already happening.

Climb the stairs, open the basement door, go out into the street, and experience the real world.

You just might like it.

Go for a surf on the internet and see what is happening in Yemen, Syria and most of the middle east, Bendigo will become like Bagdad.

Was that supposed to be an answer to the question Greg. Why is the government funding the building of a mosque?

Churches run a lot of charities. Funding them is not the same as $400000 for the construction of a church or a mosque.

How's your maths Greg? What's 1.2 million divided by 61?

Mosques run charities too.

Is that another effort at answering the question Greg?

Why is the government funding the building of a mosque?

The same reason they fund churches, libraries, community halls, etc. To benefit the community.

By the way, this project will include a library.

It's not just a mosque.

It's a sports hall, community centre, library and cafe, with a mosque.

The mosque only makes up about 20 to 30% of the structure.

It's a Community Centre, with a prayer hall.

Do you have an objection to Community Centres?

I object to the government wasting taxpayer funds.

So do I.

Shouldn't we be talking about the thread topic though?

Fine. I'll start a new thread.

From the Bendigo mosque thread:

http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1564128684/124#124

Quote:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-26/bendigo-mosque-sod-turned-after-years-of-controversy/11347164

The first milestone in the highly contested project has been made possible by a $400,000 grant from the Victorian Government.

Greg's answers so far, in no particular ranking of ridiculousness:

Because the government also funds churches.

Because the government funds church-run charities (with much smaller grants), and mosques have also been known to have charities.

Because it has a cafe and a sports centre.

Because wasting taxpayer funds benefits 'the community'.

Because this isn't the thread topic and I don't want to talk about it any more.
