Amsterdam, 19 Jan. (AKI) - Discrimination and Islamophobia prevalent in the West since the 11 September, 2001 attacks on US cities are prompting a growing number of imams to leave the Netherlands, the Association of Dutch Imams's deputy chairman, Mohammed Ousalah, has told De Telegraaf daily, quoted by Radio Netherlands. He criticised the Dutch government's failure to remedy the situation.Out of a total of 450 Dutch mosques, 180 are now without an imam, according to Ousalah. He said there is a danger the country's mosques could increasingly fall into the hands of inexperienced extremist clerics.
