Ivo Opstelten, Minister of Security and
Justice (Liberal Party) said that there is a risk that members of the Sharia4
Holland group have radicalized and that members from its core will become
violent. Members of the group held a demonstration last Saturday in front of
the national monument at the Dam Square in Amsterdam. Spokesman of the movement,
Abu Qaasim called Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders “a dog of the Romans” and
said that “we will deal with him when in the Netherlands an Islamic state will
be established.” He advised Wilders to learn from what happened to Theo van
Gogh (a Dutch media maker who was murdered in 2004 by the radical Muslim
Mohammed Bouyeri). Opstelten said that there is no reason to prohibit the
movement, as it has no legal status. There is also no reason to expel
individual members of the movement, or to take their Dutch nationality away. He
added that members are “watched.”
