Government Official: Close Islamic Radio Station Down

The National Coordinator for the Fight against Terrorism and Security (NCTV) has said that the Islamic radio station Ghurabaa should be closed down because it broadcasts “jihadic ideas.” The radical preachers might incite Dutch youngsters to travel to Syria. Among those preachers’ broadcasts is the late terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki, who, because of his blog and Facebook page, is often called “the Bin Laden of the internet.” The NCTV sent an email to the provider who has passed it on to the radio station, which has put its text on its website. The NCTV calls it embarrassing that the text was published. Radio Ghurabaa writes that the NCTV tries to demonize it. www.elsevier.nl/Nederland/nieuws/2014/2/Nationaal-terrorismebestrijder-islamitische-radiozender-moet-uit-de-lucht-1460794W/
