    REF: A. THE HAGUE 2898
    ¶B. THE HAGUE 2705 AND PREVIOUS

    ¶1. (SBU) SUMMARY: Nearly one year after the murder of
    controversial Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh by Islamic
    extremist Mohammed Bouyeri, the GONL is still struggling to
    craft a strategy to address rising radicalization of its
    large and disenfranchised Muslim population. An October 26
    conference in Amsterdam, organized by the National Counter
    Terrorism Office (NCTB) to survey efforts to combat terrorism
    and radicalization since Van Gogh's November 2, 2004 murder,
    made clear the GONL remains divided on how to tackle social,
    political, and law enforcement issues related to
    radicalization. The conference highlighted the difficulty of
    discussing the link between terrorism and Islamic extremism
    in a country simultaneously struggling to address broader
    issues of Muslim integration. END SUMMARY.

    ¶2. (U) During a well-attended day-long Amsterdam conference
    on radicalization hosted by the National Counter Terrorism
    Office (NCTB), the Dutch Ministers of Justice, Interior, and
    Immigration and Integration presented strikingly divergent
    views on how to address the problem of radicalization among
    Dutch Muslims. Justice Minister Donner, for example,
    stressed the need for mutual understanding of beliefs to
    combat radicalization, a problem he described as emerging
    from our own ground and soil. Referring to the broader
    societal divides between Muslim and non-Muslim populations,
    he argued that all sides should learn to accept changes and
    differences, even fundamental ones, to reduce social
    tensions. Interior Minister Remkes, on the other hand,
    argued that government representatives must stand firm
    against fundamentalism, radicalization and violence.
    Articulating a hard-line approach, Remkes called for a clear
    delineation of non-debatable values, and urged local
    community actors, including schools, to work with the Dutch
    intelligence services to identify radicals. (NOTE: Earlier
    in the week, Dutch press reported widespread criticism of
    Remkes' proposal. END NOTE.) Minister of Immigration and
    Integration Verdonk, known for supporting tough immigration
    and integration policies, cited a serious lack of involvement
    and commitment to integration by certain groups as a
    contributing factor to radicalization, and called for wider
    participation of the Muslim community in the broader society.

    ¶3. (U) Non-governmental panelists, drawn from academia and
    the Muslim community, similarly took different approaches to
    both root causes of, and potential solutions for
    radicalization. Professor Bassam Tibi of Cornell University
    cited the lack of a European Muslim identity as a fundamental
    problem leading to radicalization, and called for the
    creation of a European Islam compatible with core European
    values and principles. A Dutch researcher on Muslim youth
    and radicalization, Frank Buijs, similarly called for
    religious alternatives within Islam, noting that Muslim youth
    are finding few moderate Islamic voices when trawling the
    internet for answers to their existential and basic life
    questions.

    ¶4. (U) Sadik Harchaoui, Director of a Dutch social
    organization catering to youth, painted a bleak portrait of a
    large Muslim population plagued by serious and concrete
    social and economic ills, including discrimination, poverty,
    and unemployment. He charged the GONL with failure to
    address problems within the Muslim community prior to Van
    Gogh's murder, and for now overemphasizing the potential for
    radicalization of the community. Harchaoui claimed the
    government was creating a virtual reality of
    radicalization, one that made radicalization synonymous with
    terrorism and therefore threatened to alienate the broader
    Muslim community.

    ¶5. (SBU) COMMENT: The Amsterdam conference, intended to
    highlight the GONL's progress in combating Islamic
    radicalization in the year since Theo van Gogh's murder,
    instead exposed stark divisions within the government, and
    within Dutch society at large, on how to tackle this
    increasingly important issue. The conference also
    highlighted intense Dutch interest in learning from U.S.
    experiences with regard to integrating immigrant populations
    while maintaining a clear national identity. Emboffs in
    attendance fielded a large number of questions about U.S.
    policies and programs throughout the day, demonstrating both
    curiosity about the U.S. experience and a sometimes
    surprising lack of familiarity with U.S. history and society.
    Post will continue to look for opportunities -- such as a
    possible U.S. trip by Minister Verdonk (ref a) -- to reach
    out to Muslim and non-Muslim Dutch leaders seeking to counter
    radicalization and extremism in the Netherlands. END
    COMMENT.
