Belgium's Foreign Minister Didier Reynders (Francophone liberal) wants a better monitoring of what messages imams are sending out when preaching.
The organisation representing the interests of the Muslims in Belgium, the so-called Moslimexecutieve or Muslim Executive of Belgium, is not objecting to this.
Mr Reynders argues that some imams in Belgium are promoting extremist ideas. He says that this is based on information he received from sources in Arabic countries. "Instead of moderate Islamist views, we see that there are imams or other preachers who adhere to more fundamentalist or salafist views, or who support radicalist movements", the Foreign Minister is quoted as saying.
