Japan plans to demolish recently inaugurated mosque
The Japanese authorities intend to demolish a mosque built in a rural area of Kawagoe, despite its opening by the Pakistani ambassador, even though regulations prohibit construction in the region, which is considered a mountainous forest subject to urban expansion restrictions. The city’s mayor confirmed that the government is working to resolve the issue quickly, while the landowner stated that the property was sold but its identity has not been disclosed for privacy reasons. Although the company had promised to demolish the building within five years, an opening ceremony for the mosque was held last April in the presence of the Pakistani ambassador, who praised it as a symbol of friendship and religious tolerance. He also indicated that the relevant legal permits were in order, while the Japanese embassy denied any involvement in projects that do not comply with local laws.
