(E-Notícies) Another imam has been expelled for making radical proclamations, bringing the total number of expelled Islamist religious leaders in Catalonia this year to three. In this case, it was a Moroccan man residing in Olot, who was subject to a deportation order. The National Police proceeded with his arrest and expulsion to Morocco.
According to El Nacional, the man had tried to become an imam at the Besalú mosque in 2017, but he didn’t succeed. After a stay in Morocco, he returned to Catalonia in 2020 to settle in Olot.
There, according to the police investigation, he spread ideas clearly contrary to coexistence and democratic order. Among other things, he claimed that Muslims shouldn’t mix with the rest of the city or obey Spanish laws. This radical imam proclaimed the supremacy of Islamic law over the Spanish Constitution.
