Moderate Muslim preachers are leaving the Netherlands and being replaced by
more extreme clerics, senior Dutch Muslim officials have warned. "The mosques are
forced to appoint people who are sometimes not qualified," he said.

"They are not always Moroccan or Turkish - sometimes they are from Somalia, Syria
or Jordan - and they have a different concept of Islam."

Some, he said, followed the Wahhabi doctrine - a strictly conservative form of Islam
previously absent from the Netherlands.

"They are creating problems and propagating new views in the mosques. Young people
are quite open to this teaching. This is creating tension and clashes in the community," he said.

Holland ers are very openminded but this type of change may not go over easy to there way of thinking.

I suppose, if you translated into French it would sound like a sauce.  ;D

In the Nederlands, they would have been called Nederlanders........no?
