Vrees voor Islamitische opstand in Europa neemt af

De britse krant The Guardian heeft een goed artikel over de stand van zaken wat betreft Islam en terreur etc. in Europa. De teneur van het verhaal: er is onder de moslims in West Europa geen groeiende groep die zich tegen de Europese staten keert. Europese moslims staan niet op het punt te radicaliseren o.i.d.

Hier wordt ook on ze Nederlandse Judith Sluiter geciteerd:

In the Netherlands, tension between the majority and the Muslim minority has redefined national politics in the past five years. The threat level last year was raised to the second highest level - in part because of the impact on Muslim communities of the success of the anti-Islamic politician Geert Wilders. Yet even here security services say they see "the activities of homegrown [militant] cells being stable or diminishing because of a lack of leadership, and internal quarrelling". This is the view of Judith Sluiter, of the National Co-ordinator for Counterterrorism agency, who adds: "The appeal of the radicals is declining. In the Moroccan community there is growing resistance to Islamic rejection [of Dutch society]."

The Dutch AIVD intelligence service recently reported that among the country's other main Muslim immigrant community, from Turkey, "resistance to radical Islamic ideologies remains strong ... In the short and medium term, there is no danger these [extreme] religious ideas will find many receptive ears in the Dutch Turkish community".
