The Dutch authorities are probably shocked that Radio Ghurabaa would be broadcasting anything but moderation, mutual respect and tolerance. After all, aren’t those things what Islam is all about? They know that Islam is a Religion of Peace that has been Hijacked by a Tiny Minority of Extremists, and it no doubt never occurred to them that any of those “extremists” could possibly be working at this wonderful new radio station. But oddly enough, they were wrong.
“Dutch counter terrorism body warns fledgling Islamic radio station,” from Dutch News, February 11 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
The Dutch counter terrorism organisation NCTV is trying to have a fledgling Dutch Islamic radio station closed down for transmitting ‘jihadist ideas’.
Internet based Radio Ghurabaa has been broadcasting Dutch and English language sermons for just three weeks but the NCTV fears it could lead Dutch youngsters to travel to Syria and take part in a ‘holy war’.
The organisation has contacted internet service provider Versio warning that the radio station may not be lawful. The station broadcasts speeches by Anwar al-Awlaki, said to be a leading light in the al-Qaida terror movement who was killed in a drone attack in Yemen in 2011.
The provider sent the mail to the radio station which placed it online, saying it is being demonized by the NCTV.
The NCTV said it regretted the fact the mail has become public and that any further action will be up to the public prosecution department.

Bill C. says
“The NCTV said it regretted…”
Unreal. Just unreal…
Will they also “regret” the death of some poor guy who gets murdered by a “radicalized” teen who slits his throat after listening to a broadcast before they shut it down? Most probably not, and more’s the pity.

From day one of the revolution, Egypt shut down ALL Islamic TV stations.

From the article – “the NCTV fears it could lead Dutch youngsters to travel to Syria and take part in a ‘holy war’.”
Not “Dutch youngsters”. “Netherlands-resident Muslim youngsters”.

There is NO DIFFERENCE between jihadist ideas and the ideas of Islam. All Muslims revere the sociopath MUHAMMAD who PERSONALLY decapitated 900 UNARMED JEWS in 627. Decapitating infidels is foundational to Islam.Every Muslim is required to revere the SOCIOPATHIC acts of Muhammad and they do!

Yesterday I have expressed live on Dutch radio my disgust with the initiative or intention by the commisioner of the Dutch province Zeeland to give the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms medal on the 24th of mai in Middelburg to Jordan prince El Hassan bin Talal for his socalled mutual understanding between islam and christianity.
I told the Dutch listener that it has been established by an American Institute that Islam is a murderous military doctrine trying to rule the world guised as a religion. I also said that Islam has murdered 270 million people in 1400 years.
I ended saying that islam is not a religion because its scriptures calls many times for the murder of all christians and Jews.
I informed the Dutch Freedom Party of mr Geert Wilders about it.
