(Dutch News) The NRC on Friday published more details about the security service report on Amsterdam’s only Islamic secondary school, which has led to officials calling on the board to resign.
The paper say[s] it has seen AIVD documents which claim controversial British imam Haitham al-Haddad held “secret” meetings at the school and that the school’s head and his brother have donated money to a Chechen terrorist group.
Al-Haddad, who has been under fire for his views on Jews, homosexuality and female genital mutilation, was at the centre of controversy in the Netherlands in 2012 when he was invited to speak at Amsterdam’s VU University. After pressure from parliament, the invitation was withdrawn.
