[VOE] A joint investigation by Nieuwsuur and the newspaper NRC has revealed that children who attend mosque-run fundamentalist Muslim schools across the Netherlands are being taught to esteem Sharia law over Dutch law.According to the report, these mosque-run schools are indoctrinating their young students to turn their backs on Dutch values, and that individuals with different faiths deserve the death penalty, Dutch News reports.
The news comes just after the release of a report by the Netherlands intelligence service AIVD about the ever-increasing influence of Salafism ‐ a strain of Sunni fundamentalist Islam ‐ at mosque-run schools.
Around 70 hours of audio and video material of teaching material was retrieved by journalists who posed as parents of students who attended the mosque-schools. The material shows that punishments in sharia law for ’enemies’ and homosexuals were glorified by teachers at the schools.
The schools asked children to answer multiple-choice questions concerning proper punishment for a variety of crimes. Shockingly, answers included stoning, beheading by sword, and whipping.
Many of the schools encouraged their students that they should leave the Netherlands to go live in an Islamic country.
