Although the media often claims that Muslims in Athens have been waiting decades for a mosque to be built in the capital, Elghandour said MAG submitted a formal proposal to the education and religious affairs ministry in 2006.
Iako se u medijima često tvrdi da Muslimani u Atini čekaju već decenijama da se napravi džamija u glavnom gradu Grčke, Elgandur kaže da je MAG podneo zvaničan zahtev ministarstvu za obrazovna i verska pitanja 2006. godine.
