The Muslim community in Agualva-Cacém, a once-quiet town in Portugal’s Sintra region, has unveiled a new mosque named “Masjid Qasim.” The opening ceremony, attended by local officials, Islamic leaders from Lisbon, and residents, epitomizes a growing surrender to a foreign ideology that stands in contrast to Portugal’s democratic values.
This mosque is more than just a place of worship—it is a symbol of how Portugal is being transformed into a land that no longer resembles its proud Christian heritage. Built with foreign Islamic funding, this structure is not merely a community hub, as claimed, but a foothold for an ideology incompatible with the principles of democracy, freedom, and equality.
The leadership of this Sharia-adherent mosque touts misleading platitudes about “promoting tolerance and coexistence,” but the reality is far darker. Islam, as dictated by its core texts, does not recognize equality or coexistence. Islamic law, the foundational ideology that guides such mosques, commands submission to Islamic tenets over respect for national laws. By celebrating this mosque, Portugal is embracing a system that discriminates against women, non-Muslims, and anyone who dares to question its teachings.
Shia Waves, which is based in Iraq, celebrated this Islamization of Portugal in the following report:
Sharia in Portugal: A Threat to Freedom
Islamic law rejects freedom in every sense. There is no freedom of religion—apostates face death. There is no freedom of speech—criticism of Islam is met with threats of violence or worse. Women are considered inferior, worth only half a man, according to Islamic doctrine. Non-Muslims, branded as infidels, are relegated to a subordinate status.
Sharia enforces barbaric punishments such as stoning, amputations, and beheadings. It mandates perpetual war against those who refuse to submit to Allah’s rule. These are not fringe beliefs—they are foundational principles of Islam. Yet, Portugal has allowed a mosque grounded in these ideas to be celebrated on its soil.
Freedom’s Fight Against Naivety
Some misguidedly believe that allowing Islam to flourish under the guise of freedom somehow strengthens democracy. This could not be further from the truth. By tolerating an ideology that seeks to destroy the very freedoms it abuses, non-Muslims are aiding in their own downfall. Freedom is not an endless license to welcome those who would dismantle it. True freedom demands the courage to defend itself against its enemies.
The presence of Masjid Qasim is not an exercise in multiculturalism or coexistence; it is a warning. A warning that without vigilance and the will to set boundaries, Portugal and the rest of Europe will lose their identity, their freedom, and their future.
Westerners must stop confusing tolerance with weakness. Protecting their freedoms means standing firm against ideologies that are fundamentally at odds with democracy. Portugal’s future depends on recognizing this threat and taking action before it is too late. Freedom is not self-sustaining—it requires a nation willing to defend its values against those who would destroy them.
