Belgium: Muslim extremists moving to the suburbs

Via HLN (Dutch):

Manifestations of extreme Islam are now being observed not only in the big cities, but also in small towns and municipalities, according to the Belgian security service report of 2009 which was published today.

Among other issues the report also deals with religious extremism. In 2009 the security service followed the activities of diverse extreme Muslim entities: individuals, mosques, centers, groups and organization who continuously and systematically spread extremist ideas. According to the report, the most radical elements preach hatred towards anybody who doesn't agree with their point of view.

These extreme Muslim entities are geographically spread out more than ever before. The phenomena was observed more and more often in small towns and municipalities, and the security service now considers Islamic extremism less and less as a pure big city phenomenon.
