(Dutch News) Senior staff at Amsterdam’s Islamic secondary school have been involved in financial misconduct but there is no hard evidence that the school is indoctrinating pupils in the fundamentalist form of Islam know as “Salafism,” according to a report by school inspectors.
The report has not been officially published and the Cornelius Haga Lyceum is seeking an injunction against the Dutch state to block publication but it has been widely leaked to the media.
The inspectors’ criticism focuses on three areas: the financial strategy, the fact that the school does not sufficiently distance itself from people with a controversial reputation, and the provocative behaviour of director Soner Atasoy, the Volkskrant said on Tuesday.
