Why Not Build the Mosque? tells the story of the Greek state’s centuries-long attempt to build a central mosque. After the fall of Ottoman Empire, Greek Orthodoxy entwined with Greek nationalism, and by the 20th century, the state came to imagine Islam as incompatible with a Greek-speaking Orthodox Christian identity.
