Duisburg, Germany, October 22, 2008--The newly built Merkez mosque--the largest in Germany--is set to officially open on October 26.

More than three million Muslims, mostly of Turkish origin, live in Germany. Some new and planned mosques have been subjects of controversy in communities throughout Germany and other western European countries.

An estimated 15 to 17 million Muslims make their home in the European Union.
