Conversely, there is scarcely any threat from the extreme right, according to the AIVD annual report on 2008. The AIVD warns that radical Muslims often wear a mask. The service "has observed in the past year that the well-known Salafist centres (...) express themselves more moderately in public than in closed circles.
