Judge overturns cabinet decision to ban Islamic "hate preachers"
Dutch NewsA court in The Hague has overturned a cabinet decision to ban three Islamic preachers from entering the country, ruling ministers failed to produce evidence that they presented a danger to public order. The three men, invited to speak at the Ramadan Expo in March, were accused by asylum minister Marjolein Faber and justice minister David van Weel of “hate mongering” and “condoning violence”. Van Weel and Faber said they had conferred with anti-terrorism body NCTV, but the judge’s ruling found the organisation had rightly concluded there was insufficient evidence to justify a ban for two of the preachers. He and Marjolein Faber are still intent on finding a way to prevent the preachers from entering the country but Van Weel said it would be difficult to do so, he told broadcaster NOS.
