MELANIEPHILLIPS.COM: This is what happens when you appease the unconscionable. After its shameful treatment of Ayaan Hirsi Ali whom it has thrown to the jihadi wolves, the Dutch have further run up the white flag for their culture by allowing the jihadis to take over the Dutch TV Muslim broadcaster, as this story reports:
Until recently, the Netherlands had two Islamic public broadcasters: the moderate NMO and the orthodox Dutch Islamic Broadcasting Organisation (NIO). Media watchdog Commissariaat voor de Media demanded that the two would merge so that the Islamic faith would have a single representative body in the public system. But according to Nova, this resulted in NIO staging a coup of NMO…Moroccan-Dutch youth riot in Amsterdam following fatal incident
One of the members of the new board of directors is Yahia Bouyafa, who ‘is believed to have close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood,’ as Nova reported. Another is Abdelmajid Kayroun, chairman of the Al Farouq mosque in Utrecht ‘whose imam was deported from the Netherlands in 2001 for espionage for the Libyan secret service’. Also among the eight directors is Mohammed Nanhekhan, a member of the ‘radical movement World Islamic Mission’.
The Commissionership for the Media says it has ‘no indications’ that anything is wrong. It will only instigate an inquiry if the Justice Ministry or the secret service AIVD requests it, as a spokesperson stated.
