The
Amsterdam Youth Imam, Yassin Elforkani, has stopped preaching because he is receiving
threats from radical Muslims. He said
that he had concrete indications that he was at risk. The threats started a
year ago. Those who threaten him see him
as a traitor and heretic because he advises youngsters not to travel to Syria and
participate in the jihad. The police told Elforkani that, “it would be better
if he would be less active for a certain time.”
As spokesman of the Contact Organization of Muslims and the Authorities
(CMO), Elforkani is the best-known Dutch Muslim who criticizes the jihad.
