I feel like efforts like this is just a hamfisted example of preaching to the choir, a feel good bandaid for liberal worshippers at best. I don't see this affecting the minds of people who think a picture of Mohammad is cause to behead people. At the very least, the government should not be spending 30 million Euro on this. It seems more like extortion mixed with appeasement than anything else: please radical Muslims, can't you see your religion is just as respected in our secular society as any of the other religions? Please stop your random acts of heinous violence. Generally speaking, it seems for the most part Jews and Christians are able to worship separately without the threat of violence, without the help of the state. Why is it that only for Islam does society need to go out of its way to show its adherents that hey, we are people that don't deserve to be murdered in cold blood, come worship next to us and we will demonstrate we are just as worthy of life as you? Imagine there was a spate of violence against Muslims in Saudi Arabia or any Muslim majority nation committed by Jews or Christians. Do you think for a second the government there would sponsor a similar building? Why is it so difficult for European nations to draw a line in the sand and say, regardless of your religion, culture, or ethnic background, if you go around lopping off heads because you feel insulted the state will crush you. I feel like Western civilization coddles Muslims in part because they are afraid of being accused of racism but as some point we will need to acknowledge that people who get offended and start waving around scimitars need to be excised from civilized society, not have money wasted on pointless assimilation programs that don't seem to be needed for any other culture except the Islamic ones.
