‘Influence on mosques worrying’ | What you say

The conclusion in the article ‘Mosques in a pocket of dubious financiers’ is crystal clear: The Gulf States and Turkey buy influence through preachers and teaching materials that reject our core values ​​such as freedom of religion and freedom of expression. This must stop soon, says Jan de Vries.

Moderate Muslims are oppressed and intimidated by it. A recent example of this is the call of the top boss, Imam Ali Erbas, from Diyanet. In his sermon at the beginning of Ramadan, he labeled homosexuality as an “evil” that is “cursed” in the “superior religion of Islam.” Diyanet Netherlands and the 148 imams in the Netherlands have not yet distanced themselves from these horrible statements.

Stop this unwanted influence.
