  Turks.US Daily News: Athens Muslims Dream of City's First Mosque
Muslims say Paiania is too far away for the minority, which is mainly based in central Athens, but their options are limited.
However, the Greek people, especially residents of Paiania where the mosque is planned to set up, are still angry at the plans to establish the Muslim worship place.
Paiania Mayor Paraskevas Papakostopoulos said residents are angry that the mosque site is on a hill, meaning the mosque will be visible from far and seen by visitors flying into the airport.

The promoters of the project, which is being funded by Saudi Arabia, are therefore hoping that the Games will provided the needed impetus to get the building up, but the mayor of the suburb selected has in effect declared that he doesn't want it in his backyard.
In 2000, with Athens already selected for the Games, the then-Socialist government announced that it had granted a large plot of land in the suburban town of Paiania, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of the city centre and near to Athens' international airport, for the project.
At that time the mayor of Paiania, close to the Socialists, accepted the plan, but his conservative successor Paraskevas Papakostopoulos, elected last year, has said the choice of his town was "arbitrary," and got the local council to reject it.

 TIME Europe Magazine: The Faith that has No Place --   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The problem was supposed to have been solved six years ago, when the then socialist government, scrambling to prepare for the Athens 2004 Olympics, signed off on a Saudi-funded plan calling for the creation of a mosque-cum-cultural center on the northeastern outskirts of Athens.
Three-and-a-half hectares of land were appropriated for the project and Paiania, a district on the fringe of Athens' international airport, was chosen as its venue.
The powerful Greek Orthodox Church joined the fray and, claiming the allegiance of 97% of the population, suggested the state pull the plug on the project, which was left in limbo.
