Muslims have been celebrating the completion of a 3.5 (m) million pound (5.7 (m) million U-S dollar) mosque in, Scotland's capital Edinburgh.
Much of the building was paid for by Saudi Arabia and it was opened by Saudi Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Fahd.
Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Fahd arrived on Friday at the mosque in Edinburgh - named after his father King Fahd - to officially open it.
The Saudis paid most of the 3.5 (m) million pound (5.7 (m) million U-S dollar) construction costs for the building.
It took a number of years to build and is based on a mix of Islamic and Scottish architectural styles.
The building will be a centre for Scotland's 10-thousand Muslims.
The prince met Scottish Secretary Donald Dewar at the official ceremony.
Dewar said it was a "fitting symbol".
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Its a tremendous act of generosity. It's a fitting symbol of the growing confidence of the Muslim community in Scotland and the part they play in enriching our community and the tremendously good relationship between those of us who have been in Scotland for a long time and those who have joined us and are so welcome. And I am very grateful for the generosity that has made it possible. It's a great addition to the Edinburgh landscape."
SUPER CAPTION: Donald Dewar, Scottish Secretary
Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Fahd said the mosque would be a positive addition to Edinburgh.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic with English translation)
"I believe this centre will be a landmark in building a relationship between the Saudi and the Muslim community and the Scottish people and especially the people of Edinburgh."
SUPER CAPTION: Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Fahd
The Prince - who is also the Saudi Minister of State - has so far this year opened mosques in Gibraltar, Spain, Paris and Los Angeles.

And when is it that a Christian Church will open in Mecca ?
or that mosque in the Vatican.
Hephaestus when will A mosque open in the Vatican City?
There is 1.5 to 2 million churches in all around Saudi Arabia and 2,000 mosques in scotland leave them practice there religion/believe
Stop it..theres so many churchs in arabia.. And i learn so many about islam while you are preventing yourself from those religion
Christianity was probably in Mecca before it was in Scotland, anyway. I'm a Christian and know where it originated.
Im a Scottish Muslim Alhamdullilah
Assalamualikum, I am proud to be a Muslim

You aren’t scottish😂
ماشاء الله..بارك الله في الفاعل
This sick to see this in my country
What
you own the uk ?
You lot are funny. It says right in the description if you can/bother to read. The Saudi's paid for the construction cost not the uk or Scottish government.
Usman Aslam you fuckin sadistic predatory grooming gangs cult following dirt bag, the indigenous people don't want the message of raping war captives in there homeland. What your right hand posseses , how is that godly or just. And your mafia so called religious concept called jizya pure evil you demons .
Talvinder Singh bravo great intelligent response.
Talvinder Singh this must be a bot , there's no chance you are being asked to pay jizyah
Talvinder Singh no one's asking you for jizyah. First thing is you need to be under an Islamic government and under their legal system. If they are protecting the state and the people and your not being called to fight you pay jizyah as a tax
Talvinder Singh where in the UK are you.
Beautiful mosque!!
Richin the Scotland. Thanks sir. You know what’s best.
Why is it the Muslims are not emigrating to Europe rather than to Saudi Arabia where their religion and culture is predominant? It is a shame that Europe is loosing it's cultures and civility.
Becase the british empire raped and plundered muslim lands.
Oil is like drugs that's what fund these places that dont belong in Scotland
These people stop in a lot when it's wet and windy, they only come out when it's sunshine's.
انا حامل القرءان اريد الدهاب الى هاد المسجد
ahhh fuckin hell
Glasgow is hardly mecca. But you will find churches in every other muslim country
Liar
ITS TERRI its true. Apart from Saudi there are mosques in every single muslim country. Why dont you google it.
all paid for by use
Wow awesome project - beautiful architectural addition to bonnie Scotlands landscape. Land of William Wallace, soon to become land of Arabs. PS I love the movie Braveheart.
William Wallace would have been muslim if he had gotten the message....enjoy your butt hurt feelings and your ignorance.
Oh shut up

No need for that comment, Islam is beautiful.
Absolutely appalling. One Muslim in Scotland is one too many.
Amazing! Showing Bonnie Scotlands diversity :-)
Diversity is a disaster waiting to happen.
After the events in France, better watch out😕don't do attacks in Scotland, we are not french
+Kennedy.binni.belinda Binni : The Muslims is taking over regardless of WHAT DAVID CAMERON SAYS, they will be beheadding you in your own country. You have not noticed all the Mosques going up all across Europe, you would need to be blind.. Don't go on any airline wearing a cross, when is the DUMMIES going to Get it. Who has ever heard of a WAR where the Government is trying to kill the Arabs, while the Arabs id taking over their country.
In your dreams
@@kennedy.binni.belindabinni4690 if you could understand your ignorance and stateless why you are on this earth. you couldn't have say something bad about the true religion of your God not Jesus but the creator of this earth. may Allah (sw) guide you
What your just a haggis munching ginger fad.
@@stilowarka1234 you probably say that while living in scotland, wouldnt be surprised if you live in Scotland
Yet Christianity can't be practiced in their countries , UK need to stop this nonsense ,
Islam doesnt oppress other religions actually.. They are just nice
Plenty of Christians in Malaysia, Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Indonesia, Lebanon etc don’t get upset at Muslims that Christians in the U.K. are becoming atheists
Atleast they're semi civil compared to the rest I'm seeing. How many Scottish really approve of this shit.
It's Closed because of corona
Let's hope it stays closed forever
Good hopefully they tear it down
What a joke,when will we see a 3.5 million pound church being built.i think not ,built with dodgy money from a dodgy country, for dodgy people.
Andrew John Lawrie St Rollox Church opened in Sighthill Glasgow for £2.5m, funny as more ppl attend mosques on a Friday than Christians attend churches in the whole year in the U.K.! U dodgy ppl are the ones that have abandon your places of worship
@GARYPUSSY u mean the light is the ignorance n the dark is the educated n the truth
they could have built a car park instead for half the price
David Currie except it didn’t cost the government anything it was entirely funded by Saudi, go take that fake news elsewhere
