What is the Hofstadgroep?
2005-07-29
So far, 23 people are believed to be involved with the suspected terror network the Hofstadgroep. Most are in jail. One is Mohammed B, convicted this week of murdering filmmaker Theo van Gogh. He and 11 others face criminal proceedings...
This is a nice primer from Expatica on the alleged members of Holland's most notorious terror cell. Note: Hofstadgroep roughly translates as "Center City Group" and is based in The Hague. Also, Expatica has that annoying Euro habit of only using last initials, and I didn't feel like looking them up. Sorry.

#3  Here is more from FrontPage about these guys:

In a shocking set of revelations, the Netherlands’ daily, De Telegraaf, has reported that Mohammed Bouyeri and his associates in the Hofstadgroep used radical Islamism to hide the fact that their group was actually a “sexual cult.” In a report titled “Preaching and Porno,” the paper went on to recount the story of the Islamist “lover boys” who clothed their lurid sexual preferences in the garb of religious extremism.

The group was inclined to a vast array of depraved activities, not the least disturbing of which was the sexual abuse of young women. The group also reportedly had a penchant for marrying young women, most of whom were native Dutch and had converted to Islam. Bouyeri and his co-religionists would use them as “porn princesses,” before abandoning them after two weeks.

#1  Looks like they're rolling 'em up. MB got 22 years, yes? A bit lite, in my view, but at least he didn't get off on a technicality.

Good thing he wasn't tried in Australia.
