"Mr President, I consider the Hague Programme for fighting terrorism to be insufficient and hamstrung, with measures that in the end should have been effective. Besides, this phenomenon is never called by its name: Islamic terrorism, for that is what is terrifying Europe.
Various measures are called for, the need to counter money laundering as a means of financing terrorism is indicated, but there is no clear statement of the need to police banks and financial institutions, because European banks are also used to launder funds originating from the apparently legitimate activities of Islamic fundamentalism – butcher’s shops, and ostensibly religious networks and support centres. The Netherlands is learning!
I call on the European Union to adopt severe measures against terrorism, measures foreshadowed only after the barbarous murder of the film director, Mr Van Gogh. Europe must follow the good example of the Netherlands, which has had the courage to recommend the most important measure: the closure of all mosques and Islamic centres that have been infiltrated by extremist and terrorist propaganda. These are places where such propaganda is broadcast and funds are collected to fuel the barbarous murder of innocent people, as in Madrid."@en1
