Inside Epstein’s Mysterious ‘Mosque’ and His Collection of Kaaba’s Kiswa: Revelations from Files

Explosive details from the unsealed Epstein files have revealed that the late financier Jeffrey Epstein built a mysterious structure on his private Caribbean island, which he referred to as a "mosque."

Located on Little Saint James Island, the blue-and-white striped building featured a prominent golden dome. According to reports from The Independent and documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice, Epstein showed a profound interest in Islamic architecture for this building, even sourcing specific tiles from Uzbekistan to give it an "authentic old-style" look. While his religious identity was that of a secular Jew, the true purpose of this structure remains a subject of intense speculation.

The most controversial revelation involves Epstein’s possession of three priceless artifacts from the Holy Kaaba in Mecca. These included the internal Gilarf (lining), the Kiswa (the gold and silver embroidered outer covering), and specific samples from the royal factory in Mecca. Leveraging his connections with high-ranking circles in Saudi Arabia, Epstein managed to acquire these sacred items. Correspondence from a Saudi representative highlighted that these fabrics carried the prayers and tears of millions of Muslims. The discovery that a notorious sex offender held such sacred relics—and reportedly used them as floor rugs while hosting influential guests—has sparked global outrage within the Muslim community.

The files also shed light on Epstein's extensive network within the Middle East, showcasing photos of him in intimate settings with prominent figures from the region. In a 2003 interview with Vanity Fair, Epstein boasted about owning the world’s largest Persian carpet, purportedly taken from a mosque. Following his mysterious death in a New York jail in 2019, the dark secrets of his private island continue to surface. Although much of the island was damaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017, the current whereabouts of these sacred Kaaba artifacts remain unknown, leaving a trail of unanswered questions in this high-profile investigation.
