Greece: ‘Illegal mosques will be closed, and those involved will face deportation’

This is a necessary and welcome step for the survival of Greece as a nation, but much more must be done. The mass Muslim migration must be reversed, or ultimately Greeks will become a minority in their own country, which will be another Islamic state. This process is already quite far along in Britain, France, Germany, Sweden and elsewhere. It remains to be seen whether or not any of those countries or the others that have pursued suicidal immigration policies will experience any reawakening of the will to live.

Greece Announces Crackdown on Illegal Places of Worship

by Tasos Kokkinidis, Greek Reporter, February 4, 2026:

Greece’s Minister of Migration and Asylum, Thanos Plevris, has announced a new legislative framework targeting the operation of illegal places of worship, emphasizing that non-compliance will lead to the immediate revocation of residency permits.

Speaking before a parliamentary committee during debates on a new migration bill, Plevris cited a recent case in Greece as a precedent. In that case, a Bangladeshi national’s residence permit was revoked for operating an illegal place of worship.

“What happened in Agios Nikolaos will happen everywhere,” Plevris warned. “All illegal places of worship will be sealed, and the legal documents of those operating them will be revoked. In coordination with relevant ministries, illegal mosques will be closed, and those involved will face deportation. Those who do not comply with Greek law will automatically be deported.”…

Ministry officials clarified that, while the focus is often on illegal mosques, the law is not faith-specific. “A law cannot exclusively target mosques; that would be unconstitutional and ineffective,” sources noted.

“If an operator lacks a permit and fails to protect the rights of worshippers and local residents, they will be returned to their country of origin, regardless of the religion involved.” Two Joint Ministerial Decisions (KYA) are expected shortly to further specify the enforcement procedures and exact scale of fines for non-compliance.
