" 'Netherlands Rejects Turkish Imams'
THE HAGUE, 25/07/06 - Turkish imams may no longer enter the Netherlands, as the Immigration Service (IND) does nor consider them sufficiently integrated. Eighteen Dutch mosques are now without a spiritual leader, the Algemeen Dagblad newspaper reports.
New immigrants must follow a course in Dutch language and culture since March before being allowed into the Netherlands. 'Under the new rules, all newcomers, including imams, must first take a test at the Dutch embassy in the country of origin. The imams have not done this,' IND spokesman Maud Bredero explained."
