#athens protest

Flag-waving demonstrators had created a sea of blue and white on Syntagma square near the parliament, while much of the city center was closed to traffic and some metro stations shut as a precaution.

International News: Clashes between police and a group of masked protesters left several injured in Athens on Sunday as tens of thousands demonstrated against a name change deal with neighboring Macedonia that the Greek parliament is due to ratify in days.

The violence flared as Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras attempts to face down a political storm over his championing of a landmark agreement with Macedonia aimed at ending a 27-year dispute with Athens over the country's name.

Police estimates put the number of demonstrators at 60,000 at 1200 GMT, while organisers said 100,000 people had arrived for the rally, with hundreds of buses bringing demonstrators, especially from the region of northern Greece that also claims the Macedonia name.

Ten police were hurt in the protests, according to the Greek citizens' protection ministry, while a first aid station said two protesters were hospitalised with breathing difficulties.

Okay. -prepares to loose followers-

Personally I think that the people of Greece have 125% right to protest against this, after all their excersising their right. According to wikipedia it’s 98% orthodox and 1.3% muslims. It is a Christian country so naturally they want their country to be Christian dominated regardless if the muslims want to build one mosque.

Similarly like Saudi Arabia, yes there are non muslims residing there but why haven’t there been any churches yet? Because their not willing to let non muslims assimilate in to their country and build places of worship that is not islamic. So of course Greece will not allow a mosque to be build, maybe they feel threatened? Who knows, after all Islam is the fastest growing religion and they don’t want their land to become so largely populated by muslims and end up becoming like Serbia & Bosnia
