Karbaschi on building a mosque in Qeytariyeh Park: Do we lack green space or religious space?
Gholamhossein Karbaschi emphasizes that it should be examined and announced how much religious space exists in Tehran and how many of them are open and in use. On the other hand, considering air pollution, how much green space is there in Tehran? Last June, the deputy head of the Center for Mosque Affairs in Tehran Province stated that a thousand mosques in Tehran are inactive, and half of the country’s mosques do not have an imam. According to him, in Tehran Province, out of 3,500 mosques, a thousand are not active throughout the year for various reasons.
According to the former mayor of Tehran, the space of a park belongs to the people of that area. Separating a part of it and turning it into an unrelated place raises many questions and brings up the issue of whether the local residents are satisfied or not.
