Three imams are 'personae non gratae' in the Netherlands
Verdonk orders three imams to leave
Immigration and Integration Minister Rita Verdonk has ordered three imams of the Al Fourqaan mosque in Eindhoven, accused of being a threat to public order and national security, to get out of the Netherlands.
Lawyer Marq Wijngaarden is representing the three imams says he will go to court to
block the minister’s order. He did not want to comment further as he has not yet read the full text of Verdonk’s decision.
The Dutch intelligence service AIVD indicated that the imams “contribute to the radicalisation of Muslims in the Netherlands”, the Justice Ministry said earlier this year.
The ministry claimed the imams tried to recruit, or tolerated the recruiting, of Muslims for Jihad, or holy war. They are also accused of using their sermons to urge Muslims to “isolate” themselves from the rest of Dutch society.
The AIVD said the mosque in Eindhoven disseminated the Salafist philosophy � which is strongly opposed to Western society and the imams there were sponsoring aversion of the West in their sermons.
Well I hope they have more against them then the Salafist philosophy, because the question is which Salafist philosopy; it is not a clear cut and homogenous philosophy.
