Luckily such things are still allowed in Europe. Try it in Saudi or Iran and see what happens (hint, it usually involves either a sharp sword, or a rope)

SPAIN: SIT-IN IN FRONT OF SAUDI CONSULATE OVER MOSQUE DEBT

(ANSAmed) – MADRID, JULY 16 – The employees of some 15 companies which have funded the mosque built two years ago by Saudi Arabia in Malaga staged a sit-in today in front of the Saudi Arabian Consulate in Andalusiàs city in order to claim the payment of the due arrears. According to trade union sources, citied by the local media, the protest takes place simultaneously with the world conference on inter-religious dialogue, organised by Saudi Arabiàs King and officially opened today in Madrid. The sit-in of the workers in front of the Consulate will stay for a few hours every day until the closure of the conference in Madrid. According to the sources, the total debt contracted by Saudi Arabia with some 15 companies from the plumbing, carpentry, air conditioning and equipment sectors amounts to one million euro, which the workers have claimed for two years, when the works on the mosque were completed at Avenida de Ingeniero de la Torre Acosta, in Malaga. The construction of the temple, for which an investment of 24 million euro was initially envisaged, required six million euro more due to changes during the construction. (ANSAmed).

I guess with all the funding for jihad, teaching hate and intolerance, and training suicide bombers, they simply were strapped for cash when it came time to pay the bill for the contractors…
