A Symbol of Friendship Islamic Supremacy, Turkish Prime Minister lays a stone for the $100 million Islamic Indoctrination & Infiltration Center.
On May 15, 2013, Turkish Prime
Minister Tayyip Erdogan placed a ceremonial stone on a 15-acre
construction site in Lanham, Maryland that will become the largest and
most ostentatious example of Islamic architecture in the western
hemisphere.
Muslim Link The
Turkish American Culture and Civilization Center (TACC) is a project of
the government of Turkey and is meant to”serve as a social, cultural,
and religious center for all visitors, including activities for the
promotion and introduction of the values of the Turkish Civilization”
according to an information packet distributed by TACC at the invitation
only ground breaking ceremony.
The
project is well underway, and two industrial cranes tower over the
skyline along Good Luck Road. Concrete and steel pillars are up, and
even two small domes are already visible. TACC leaders estimate the
complex will be completed by October 2014.
The cost of the 5-buidling complex is
estimated to be around $100 million according to sources familiar with
the engineering aspects of the project. The entire complex will be
serviced by an underground garage.
The TACC Center will consist
of five main buildings: a mosque constructed using 16th century
classical Ottoman architecture that can hold 760 worshipers; a
two-story, 19,990 SF Cultural Center Building including a 220-seating
performance hall; a 9,850 SF recreational building with a 180-seat
restaurant and traditional coffee shop; a 43,450 SF traditional Turkish
bath for up to 22 people at a time and indoor pool and sports center;
and 18,500 SF of guest housing including 16 one-bedroom apartment units.
The complex will have very limited
above ground parking and most cars will park in the 150,700 SF
underground parking garage which gives direct access to all the main
buildings. A few traditionally designed residential buildings, Turkish
gardens and fountains, and outdoor recreational areas will also be a
part of the complex.
