| [IsraelTimes] Belgium expels imam who called for burning of Jews Mohammed Toujgani’s remarks from 2009 recently resurfaced, leading government to withdraw his residency permit for 10 years, citing national security threat A Moroccan a holy man who called for the "burning of Jews" in a 2009 video was banned from Belgium in October as a national security threat, the government said Thursday. First revealed by Belgian broadcaster VRT, the expulsion was confirmed by the Belgian Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration, Sammy Mahdi. "This man was probably the most influential preacher in Belgium," Mahdi told a session of Belgian parliament. Mohammed Toujgani preached until last year at the al-Khalil mosque in Molenbeek, one of the largest places of worship for Moslems in Belgium. A statement said his residence permit was withdrawn on October 12. Is that the same as ensuring that he actually leaves the country rather than remaining “illegally”? Toujgani "has been controversial for some time. In 2009, he again called for the burning of Jews," the statement added.The video resurfaced in 2019, said VRT, noting that Toujgani had apologized for his remarks, citing "a slip" related to what he called "a war" waged by Israel against Paleostinians in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip. Toujgani, who is head of the League of Moroccan Imams in Belgium, ...just the kind of man you want in that position... was under surveillance by Belgium’s domestic intelligence agency.Mahdi said he decided on the 10-year ban "on the basis of information from the security services" and "because of signs of a serious danger to national security." "We will not tolerate those who divide and threaten our national security," he said. Mahdi told MPs that Toujgani was no longer in Belgium. According to VRT, Toujgani intends to contest his expulsion. The imam, who has been in Belgium for 40 years, has a wife and children living in the country, according to VRT. The al-Khalil mosque, located in the Brussels district of Molenbeek, is run by the Islamic Mutual Aid League (LEI), which describes itself as "the largest Moslem institution in Belgium." It has training centers and an Arabic language school for 500 children and teenagers. Belgian authorities have tightened their scrutiny of religious activities in Molenbeek since the deadly terrorist attacks of Gay Paree and Brussels in 2015-16. The attacks were planned by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group and largely carried out by residents of Belgium, including many from the Brussels district, one of the poorest in the country. |
