The intelligence service AIVD writes in its annual report that an important group of Salafists connected to the As-Soennah mosque in The Hague has increasing influence on other mosques in the region. These mosques now also promote Salafism. The AIVD says that Salafist ideology contains elements which conflict with the democratic order. The AIVD is afraid of intolerant isolationism and polarization. At present, the group is not a danger to state security. This project sets out to demonstrate that media coverage can degrade a country's image by using selective news without context. It uses the Netherlands as an example. It is a reaction to the frequent misrepresentations of Israel in many ways in major media, including those of the Netherlands.
