(JNS) Thousands of Dutch Islamists gathered in the central city of Utrecht in the Netherlands over the weekend to hear speeches by three extremist imams The Hague had unsuccessfully sought to ban.
During the two-day “Ramadan Expo” at the Jaarbeurs Exposition Center, British Islamist Mohammed Hijab reportedly led the raucous crowd in countless chants of Allahu Akbar (“Allah is great” in Arabic) to celebrate what he described as a “historic victory over the Dutch government.”
The pre-Ramadan event — which included a separate hall for women, who viewed the speeches by video link — was closed to the media. On Saturday, reporters from the country’s public broadcaster were harassed outside the venue, according to local media reports.
