Police, locals deny claim part of The Hague is a 'Sharia triangle'
Sunday 19 May 2013
Claims by newspaper Trouw that part of
The Hague’s Schilderswijk district is so dominated by orthodox Muslims
they are dictating what people should wear and how they should behave,
have been denied by both police and local politicians.
Under the headline ‘Hague district is orthodox Muslim territory’, Trouw said
‘short skirts and dresses are not accepted on the street’.
The paper said the area, with a population of some 5,000, is known by locals as
‘The Sharia Triangle’. 'Very slowly, the rules in the area
are beginning to change,' the article said. 'The norms of the majority
are beginning to take over.'
Modest clothing
Trouw
interviewed a woman, named as Wilma, who said her daughter had been
hassled about her style of dress and her son had been called a kafir for
lighting a cigarette.
A veiled Muslim woman named Meryam told
the paper that dressing modestly would do the locals good. She pointed
out that ‘women in the heart of the Bible belt wear long skirts and
no-one works in Staphorst on Sunday’.
The paper also interviewed one man who said he feels he is being
driven out of the area because he owns a dog. And a local youth gang
member said criminality has dropped, not because of extra police
efforts, but because the youngsters are ‘afraid of the wrath of Allah’.
Wilders
The article generated a tweet from anti-immigration campaigner and MP Geert
Wilders who described the situation as ‘islamofacism’ and said he will visit
the area as soon as possible.
Other MPs demanded a parliamentary debate on the issue. Socialist MP
Sadet Karabulut said she recognised some of the things Trouw describes
in her own experiences in the locality.
She called for efforts to improve the mix of housing in the locality and
measures to ensure schools have a better ethnic mix.
Control
But locals were quick to describe the article as exaggerated. ‘We
know the area is dominated by Muslims, yes,’ said local Christian
Democrat leader Gert-Jan Bakker. ‘But we have never noticed they are in
control.’
Local police chief Michel de Roos told broadcaster Omroep West claims by Trouw
that the police allow locals to solve their own problems is
not true. The police presence in the area has been strengthened and
local beat officers have a strong local network, he said.
‘We have had no indications there is a sort of sharia police,’ he
said. ‘That is not to say it does not happen, but we are unaware of it.’
