How exactly does something this massive get built in the middle of a city without permits and 1000 government bureaucrats and feds not knocking on your door? IN JAPAN!
🇯🇵 In Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, a building that was temporarily used as a mosque was constructed without permission on land where new buildings are generally not permitted.
On September 1st, the city issued an order to the company that owns the building to demolish it and cease its use, based on the City Planning Act, because the company failed to comply with corrective guidance demanding its prompt removal. The deadline for demolition is September 30, 2027.
Muslims originally wanted 5 years to demolish the mosque, but officials denied the request.
