QuoteOpposition Fight against Subsidising of Mosques Fails

THE HAGUE, 01/10/09 - The opposition has unsuccessfully opposed the cabinet's view that subsidising mosques is an instrument for encouraging integration.

The home affairs ministry and the Association of Netherlands Municipalities (VNG) recently published a memorandum "Religion and the public domain," a handbook for municipal administrators for dealing with religious organisations. The core is that subsidies for religious organisations such as mosques are allowed based on the idea that this fosters integration.

"The government cannot be a little bit neutral," complained the Socialist Party (SP). The conservatives (VVD), Party for Freedom (PVV) and centre-left D66 are also sceptical about the violation of the principle of the separation of church and state that they perceive.

SP MP Karabulut, herself of Turkish origin, declared that the government is threatening to lose its neutrality. "You should tackle segregation via training and work, not via subsidies to mosques."

The Christian democrats (CDA) and small Christian parties ChristenUnie and SGP are full of praise for the memorandum. The SGP does however consider it assumes equality between Islam and Christianity "in a rigid way." MP Van der Staaij: "It is offensive to simply transcribe the distrust that should be felt for an orthodox Imam who has grown up in a tyrannical Islamic country to a reverend who interprets the classic Christian faith which shaped Netherlands."

Hollannin hallituksen mukaan moskeijoiden rahallinen tukeminen edistää integratiota. Kuntien hallinnoille jaettu muistion mukaan tukijaisten jakaminen uskonnollisille organisaatioille kuten moskeijoille edistää integraatiota.

Oppositio puolueet protestoivat päätöksen olevan kirkon ja valtion erottavan periaatteen vastainen. Sosialisti puolueen turkkilais-taustaisen kansanedustaja Karabulutin mukaan integratio tapahtuu työn ja koulutuksen ei moskeija-tukijaisten kautta.

Hollannin pienet kristitytpuolueet puolestaan ylistävät muistiota.

Amsterdamin liberaalimoskeija on huomattavassa rahapulassa. Moskeija poikkeaa muista moskeijoista siten, että miehet ja naiset rukoilevat samassa huoneessa ja rukoukset pidetään hollanniksi.

QuoteLiberal Dutch mosque can stay
A liberal Dutch mosque in Amsterdam that faced financial problems earlier this month can stay open.

Housing association Alliantie, which owns the premises in which the mosque is housed, threatened to evict the mosque earlier this month because it had over 50,000 euros in rent arrears. Now Alliantie says the arrears have been paid.

The mosque, better know as the Poldermoskee in the Netherlands, differs from other Dutch mosques because Dutch is the only spoken language and because men and women are allowed to pray together.
