Loser talks

“So I see stiff competition with China, China has an overall goal, and I don’t criticize them for the goal, but they have an overall goal to become the leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world and the most powerful country in the world. That’s not going to happen on my watch because United States is going to continue to grow and expand.” Your watch will end any day now.

Jamia Mosque 些利街清真寺,又稱回教清真禮拜總堂,位於香港島中環半山區些利街30號,些利街和摩羅廟街的交界。該寺為香港最古老的清真寺,反映香港殖民地時代穆斯林的歷史,也象徵了香港宗教文化的多元性。
些利街清真寺建於1849年,當時只是一間簡陋的小石屋。至1870年,清真寺獲地擴建為清真寺,直至1890年才竣工,正式建為一間清真寺。該寺其後於1915年重建(有說是1905年來自印度孟買的富商穆罕默德.哈奇出資重建),只保留舊寺的尖塔,即是現時所見的外貌。現時該寺旁則興建了一座8層高的文化中心。
