Netherlands orders three imams to leave
2005-06-17
Three radical imams have been ordered to leave the Netherlands after the country's intelligence service said they represented a security threat, the Justice Ministry said on Thursday. The clerics from Eindhoven's Al Fourkaan mosque are the first to face expulsion after the Dutch government vowed to crack down on militants following the murder last November of a filmmaker critical of Islam. The AIVD intelligence service said the men worked to radicalise Muslims and turn them away from Western values and tolerated the use of their mosques as recruiting grounds for militancy.
Just good holy men being discriminated against for keeping weapons preaching to the flock ...
"The AIVD has come to the conclusion that the imams willingly and knowingly contributed to the radicalisation of Muslims in the Netherlands and were also responsible for the creation of a breeding ground for a Jihad," the ministry said. It added one of the imams had already left the Netherlands -- home to 1 million Muslims who are mostly of Turkish or Moroccan descent -- and that if the other two did not leave they would be expelled.

I assume the last is MSM euphemism for recruit for terrorism. I have zero, repeat, zero problems with expelling Imams who recruit for, or incite, any kind of violence.

I think weve done some of this with regard to that mosque in New Jersey, Hoboken was it?

We should be on the alert to any other Imams who do this. I would approve sending agents into mosques to check for this. The best folks to do the watching would be (vetted) muslims working for the FBI, etc.

#1  Yes! They're starting to "GET IT"!

Now deport their radicalized congregations, too.

Or else live to regret that little oversight.
