ZOETERMEER, 03/05/08 - The controversial imam Fawaz Jneid is to focus on the Islamisation of young children. A new institution working together with his radical As-Soennah mosque in The Hague is organising strict religious classes for children aged 5 to 14 years in the suburb of Zoetermeer, as De Telegraaf reports.
According to the newspaper, the classes are taking place in a sports hall which is rented from the municipality. The classes are given by 'brethren' of the foundation Al-Ichlaas (purity of faith). Up to the present, several dozen pupils have registered. The children are expected to appear in class according to the Islamic clothing requirements", according to De Telegraaf.
Al-Ichlaas wishes to teach young children the ultra-orthodox etiquette. It does so through Koran and Arabic lessons. "We wish to keep the children off the wrong track and prevent them from straying from the faith", according to the institution's chairman Mohamed Talbi.
The institution has handed a request to the Tax Department to be considered as an 'institution aiming for general benefit' (ANBI), so that it is eligible for tax benefits. An ANBI is not, for example, liable to inheritance tax or gift tax over inheritances and gifts. In addition, benefactors can claim tax deductions for donations. According to De Telegraaf, the institution's treasurer works as an IT expert at ING bank.
Talbi confirms that the institution works in association with the As-Soennah mosque, a bastion of the radical anti-western current known as Salafism. Fawaz, who cursed Theo van Gogh shortly before he was assassinated, recently reached the news for the umpteenth time due to a fierce attack on the chairman of Amsterdam Slotervaart district Ahmed Marcouch. Marcouch states that the Syrian declared a type of fatwa on him for defending Dutch laws.

Coming to a “democracy” near you ...
Huh, so are the gay lobby and the NEA teachers. Must be a coincidence.
In the early 1920's, it would have been far simpler to eliminate a few dozen of these .......
....... so that, in the late 1920's, they would not have recruited thousands of these ......
....... so that, in the 1930's, they would not have indoctinated millions of these ......
...... so that, in the 1940's, there would not have been millions of these:
Can’t help but wonder how many of these so-called “radical imams or mullahs” would have to be EwEP’d before they would give up this sort of stuff...
Why do the Dutch consider themselves helpless to resolve these issues? Why don’t they just deport the guy?
