Waqf Foundation in EindhovenThe previously unknown Imad Ismail Bakri - co-founder of the Al Fourqaan mosque in Eindhoven - is part of a wide-ranging international network of Salafist Islamic organizations, some of which are associated with Muslim terrorism.
In 1989 he was the founder of the Islamic foundation Waqf. He has also been treasurer from the start. He is also an imam of the Al Fourqaan mosque. And yet Imad Ismail Bakri is not widely known.
Only after research by journalist Carel Brendel and Arabist Simon Admiraal in 2017 did more become known about Bakri in recent days, who appears to have many contacts where question marks can be placed.Arnoud van Doorn (0n the left) (born 18 March 1966, The Hague) is a politician. He was a member of the anti-Islam party, Dutch Freedom Party (PVV), before converting to Islam. In this image you see Arnoud van Doorn with Denk party colleage Adem Topdag in the mosque Al Fourqaan Eindhoven where Farid El Moussaui from the Foundation Al Abraar took over the management from #WAQF Nasr El Damanhoury.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denk_(political_party)partijvandeeenheid.nl/bestuur/ ( Arnoud van Doorn is a member of the Islamic party, Party for the Unity, Partij van de Eenheid (PvdE) in The Hague.)

Mobarak Mosque in The HagueThe Mobarak Mosque in The Hague is the first purpose-built mosque in the Netherlands.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community came to the Netherlands in 1947 and Qudrat-Ullah Hafiz was the first missionary. The mosque designed by Frits Beck was opened by Sir Muhammad Zafarullah Khan on 9 December 1955.
On 3 June 2006 Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands had visited the Mobarak Mosque to commemorate the building's 50th anniversary.
Ahmadiyya
Ahmadiyya (/ɑːməˈdiə/; officially, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community or the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at; Arabic: الجماعة الإسلامية الأحمدية, transliterated: al-Jamā'ah al-Islāmiyyah al-Aḥmadiyyah; Urdu: احمدیہ مسلم جماعت) is an Islamic revival[ or messianic movement founded in Punjab, British India, in the late 19th century. It originated with the life and teachings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835–1908), who claimed to have been divinely appointed as both the promised Mahdi (Guided One) and Messiah expected by Muslims to appear towards the end times and bring about, by peaceful means, the final triumph of Islam; as well as to embody, in this capacity, the expected eschatological figure of other major religious traditions. Adherents of the Ahmadiyya—a term adopted expressly in reference to Muhammad's alternative name Aḥmad—are known as Ahmadi Muslims or simply Ahmadis.Mirzā Ghulām Ahmad (13 February 1835 – 26 May 1908) was an Indian religious leader and the founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam. He claimed to have been divinely appointed as the promised Messiah and Mahdi—which is the metaphorical second-coming of Jesus (mathīl-iʿIsā), in fulfillment of Islam's latter day prophecies, as well as the Mujaddid (centennial reviver) of the 14th Islamic century.Ahmadis have been subject to religious persecution and discrimination since the movement's inception in 1889. The Ahmadis are active translators of the Quran and proselytizers for the faith; converts to Islam in many parts of the world first discover Islam through the Ahmadis. However, in many Islamic countries the Ahmadis have been defined as heretics and non-Muslim and subjected to attacks and often systematic oppression.

Pieter Quite a difference between different mosques such as the rich Turkish Sunni Wester Mosque in Amsterdam in contrast to lesser Mosque such as Aya Sofia Mosque in Rotterdam. To this is the thought that comes to mind: Who is footing the bill and for who and for what? But then, to each comes the rewards.. Karl Karl,
There is quite a difference between the different mosques and Islamic foundations and that has various reasons, causes, historical grounds, political backgrounds, social causes and sociological and community based roots and heritages. There are Muslim communities in the Netherlands who are longer in the Netherlands than other Muslim migrant communities. For instance the Indonesian, Surinamese and the Ahmadiyya communities are longer in the Netherlands and have older mosques than the Turks and Moroccans. Our former Dutch East Indies, Indonesia, is the largest Muslim country in the world, and in the Netherlands you have Moluccan, Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Acehnese and Malayan Muslims.
In the Netherlands the Turkish community is stronger organised than the Berber Moroccan and Arab Moroccan communities, because the Moroccans have a more regional and clan/tribe based culture. Turks are Turkish people with a 'One Nation' mentality and the unity of all Turks and all Turkic people, Moroccans identity with the city, the town or the region of the Rif (Riff) mountainous cultural region in the northern part of the Kingdom of Morocco, where they come from. The Turkish Sunni Muslims follow the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam. The Hanafi (Arabic: حنفي Ḥanafī) school is one of the four religious Sunni Islamic schools of jurisprudence (fiqh).
The Hanafi school is the maddhab with the largest number of followers among Sunni Muslims. It is predominant in the countries that were once part of the historic Ottoman Empire, Mughal Empire and Sultanates of Turkic rulers in the South Asia, northwest China and Central Asia. In the modern era, Hanafi is prevalent in the following regions: Turkey, the Balkans, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, parts of Iraq, parts of Iran, parts of Russia, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, parts of India and China, and Bangladesh. So, you can imagine that the Turkish Sunni Mosques also attract Sunni Muslim believers who come from these other Sunni Muslim countries where the Muslims also follow the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam.
The vast majority of Muslims in Morocco are Sunni belonging to Maliki school of jurisprudence. The King of Morocco claims his legitimacy as a descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The Maliki school of jurisprudence relies on the Quran and hadiths as primary sources. The Maliki madhhab is one of the largest group of Sunni Muslims, comparable to the Shafi`i madhhab in adherents, but smaller than the Hanafi madhhab. Sharia based on Maliki doctrine is predominantly found in North Africa (excluding northern and eastern Egypt), West Africa, Chad, Sudan, Kuwait, Bahrain, the Emirate of Dubai (UAE), and in northeastern parts of Saudi Arabia. So the main difference between Turks and Moroccans is that the Turks follow the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam and that most Moroccans follow the Maliki school of jurisprudence.
Next to these largest Muslim migrant communities, you have smaller communities of Bosnians, Afghans, Iranians, Pakistani, Syrians, Libiyans, Egyptians, Algerians, Tunesians, Iraqi people, Somalians, Black African Muslims from Black North-Africa, East-Africa, Central-Africa and West-Africa.
In the last decades the influence of the more strict and puritinical, dogmatic, Ultra-Orthodox and Fundamentalist Wahabbist and Salafist Islam from Saoudi-Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen and Kuwayt has changed Islam in Europe and the Middle east. The influence of Islamist Arab sheikhs, princes, imams (religious leaders) and Islamist business people and theocrats grew, because they became founders, financial backers and sponsors of North-African Berber, Arab and some Kurd mosques. Some of the richer mosques, larger and most beautiful mosques often were built with Gulf Arab money, or by Turkish Directorate of Religious Affairs (Turkish: Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, normally referred to simply as the Diyanet, the religio-political movement Millî Görüş or the far right, Ultra-Nationalist and Great Ottoman Turkse Federatie Nederland (Turkish Federation Netherlands; Turkish: Hollanda Türk Federasyon).
The Dutch Turks have a sort of Turkish Dutch pillar, which brings progress to the Dutch Turks. Many Turks in the Netherlands belong to the Turkish middle class of small and middle big entrepreneurs, business people, people with shops, their own company or import & export company between the Netherlands and Turkey. Wealthy Turkish families, entrepreneurs, business people, shop owners pay contribution to their mosque organisation and they collect money for their mosque. Sunni Muslims from Bosnia Herzegovina, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, parts of Iraq, parts of Iran, parts of Russia, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, parts of India and China, and Bangladesh go to Turkish mosques in the Netherlands, and these people also contribute to existing mosques and for new to built mosques.
Again I say some communities are smaller and have less funds than other communities and therefor one community has the rich Turkish Sunni Wester Mosque and another community, for instance the the Moroccan Islamic Association of Rotterdam or the Afghan Sunni Muslim community have very simple and rather shabby small mosques in old buildings in Arnhem and other cities. The Turks and some Arab mosques with rich Saoudi, Emirati or Qatar backers (financers) have better and real mosques with large domes, prayer halls and minarets.
Cheers, Pieter
