RE: Dutch debate on mosque closing

salam,

you have to copy the whole link:

http://www.expatica.com/source/site_article.asp?subchannel_id=19&story_id=6851

ok, this is my take on the thing. while i'm against all forms or oppression, 
i don't understand why the sister wants the mosque closed. these are the 
beliefs of many, many muslims. what is next... she is going to ask for the 
hadiths to be banned? the book in question, like thousands published each 
year, is nothing but 'adkaar' or something to help people *remember* the 
"teachings" of islam. literally, they just republish parts in the hadiths.

that said, there are conservative jewish and christian places that teach 
things that are against the dutch laws... and they are left alone because 
the things are in the bible. is she going to ask those to be closed too?
