Personally, I have a problem with the government coming into a religious institution and telling you what language you can or can't speak. I don't believe such a law would ever pass there.

On the other hand, I have no problem with Arabic-speaking informants, or some "concerned private citizens" secretly recording services and reporting to the police anything that is said that may violate Dutch law, such as inciting violence.

This is the key to much of the war on terror in general. We've got to get people inside these various organizations that are creating a generation of homicidal martyrs.

Over the past 20 years we've tried to rely much too heavily on outside electronic surveillance. We need to "develop" human assets on the inside.

I suspect the latter course is what would be best.

It could never become a law, it mostly done for the people I think, to show that some one is listening to them. And also you'd be punishing others for action of other people. I'd prefer a ban for these imams, just like in Morocco or Syria, where they come from and were banned because of their radical comments.
