The majority of political parties in parliament support fascistic measures against mosques.
 
In the Dutch Parliament, the report of the "Investigation Commission for Undesirable Effects from Non-Free Countries", which was established to prevent the financing of mosques receiving financial support from abroad.
 
According to the report, the US and Gulf countries influence Islamic institutions and organizations in the Netherlands in different ways. According to the report, the flow of money from abroad, especially from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, supposedly leads to radicalization of mosques. It was determined that more than 30 mosques received support from abroad.
 
Bente Becker, a member of the investigation commission and a member of the government partner of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), asked for a ban on the flow of money to mosques in the Netherlands from Turkey, Saudi Arabia or the Gulf states.
 

THEY ONLY DEAL WITH MUSLIMS!

 
The government announced that more efforts will be made to co-operate with EU authorities to control unauthorized Quran courses held at mosques and associations in the Netherlands and to prevent unwanted foreign currency flows to mosques. The Denk Party, which is supported by the voters of Turkey and Morocco, accused the government and the parliament of applying "double standards" and stated that only Muslims are being fought.
 

NOT LEGALLY POSSIBLE

 
Becker suggested that if there are allegedly problematic behaviors such as violations of the rights of women and girls at the mosque or on the weekend Qur'an courses, they should be investigated and banned by the government. The majority of political parties in parliament supported these proposals. However, the Dutch government stated that it was not legally possible to prohibit the flow of money to mosques from abroad. "It is not a problem to finance a Muslim cemetery in the Netherlands with money from abroad," said Wouter Koolmees, Minister of Social Affairs.
 
According to Koolmees, it is unclear how much money has come to the Netherlands from abroad. The Dutch minister said, “It is not possible to make the money flow transparent either. "It is possible to break the ban by sending money to the Netherlands through another European Union (EU) member country."
