The Dutch Public Prosecution
Service does not have a good reason to take legal action against a
controversial imam who attacked Rotterdam mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb in a
sermon, Justice Minister Ferd Grapperhaus told MPs on Tuesday.
Imam Fawaz Jneid "ranted for an hour in Arabic" about Aboutaleb in
January, calling him an apostate Muslim and an enemy of real Islam. Grapperhaus said that he wanted to look at what could be done to toughen
up the approach to radical imams. That could mean that we have to "give
up part of our freedom to express ourselves," he said.
