Encourage more to leave and then shut the damn door.

What's hard to understand about that?

"He said imams were becoming disillusioned and leaving because since the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US, they were increasingly being linked to terrorism and facing discrimination."

The question is where are they going to?

Clearly they need to reduce the number of Muslims until into balance.

""They are creating problems and propagating new views in the mosques. Young people are quite open to this teaching. This is creating tension and clashes in the community," he said."

There is a way to solve this problem. Get rid of the mosques.

What the heck is a drove? Is that a small SUV, a train or possibly a blimp? ;)

As long as they leave, who cares?

Better if they "leave" in coffins.

Mayhap we (US) could loan our Imams a few droves so that they can leave.

"While the GOVERNMENT had helped set up a scheme to train Dutch-born Muslims to be imams....."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE !!!!!! SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE !!!!! SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE !!!!!

I expect Leftists everywhere to be outraged at this!! The American Left in particular must be thoroughly horrified at this co-mingling and will protest vehemently-----won't they?

Moderate Muslim preachers are leaving the Netherlands and being replaced by more extreme clerics, senior Dutch Muslim officials have warned.

This, on the other hand, is not a shame:  it's easier to recognize your enemies when they're not pretending to be your friends.

The Dutch should tell the Muslims Allah issued an order for them all to take a pilgrimage into the north sea, on foot.

Some, he said, followed the Wahhabi doctrine - a strictly conservative form of Islam previously absent from the Netherlands.

IMHO If you read the Koran and Hadiths The Wahhabi doctrine is the logical conclusion of what Allah wants you to do.

And if you have doubts as to what you should be doing as a Muslim, Mohammed has set an example.

I believe this is from cattle drives. A large number of cattle being moved rapidly is sometimes referred to as a "drove" or in "droves."
