قلق سياسي بسبب ارتفاع مستوى التدين بين المسلمين بهولندا

أثارت النتائج التي كشفت عنها دراسة أعدها معهد الهجرة والدراسات العرقية حول مستوى تدين المسلمين بـ"هولندا" - قلقًا بين الأوساط السياسية.

فقد كشفت الدراسة عن ارتفاع مستوى التدين بين صفوف المسلمين الأتراك والمغاربة، وهو ما وصفه "جيان تيلي" - أستاذ الدراسات السياسية - بأنه "أخبار سيئة للديمقراطية"، وأن هؤلاء يحملون "آراءً سيئة"؛ في إشارة إلى ترك مصافحة النساء، وعدم المشاركة في المجالس المختلطة، وعدم سماع الموسيقى.

وبالرغم من اعتبار ذلك تهديدًا للمبادئ الديمقراطية إلا أن الدراسة أكدت أن هؤلاء المتدينين غير مؤيدين لممارسة العنف ضد البلاد طبقًا لتصريحات تيلي.

ولمعرفة مستوى التدين قامت الدراسة بتوجيه أسئلة حول رؤية العاريات في التلفاز، والجلوس بمكان يقدم فيه الخمر، والموقف من ارتداء الرجال للذهب، وارتداء ملابس مُسبَلة، وتهنئة الآخرين بالأعياد غير الإسلامية.

Radicalism level higher among Moroccans

According to a study by the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies (University of Amsterdam) and Statistics Netherlands (CBS), 8% of the Dutch Muslims see themselves as very religious: 12% of Moroccans and 5% of Turks. This comes out to 24,000 very orthodox Moroccan Muslims and 12,000 very orthodox Turkish Muslims. [ed: See below for a breakdown, these percentages only apply to those who define themselves as Muslim.]

These people do not shake hands with people of the opposite sex, don't listen to non-religious music and prefer not to go to places where both men and women are present. They support a theocracy and distinguish themselves by accepting violence.

"That is bad news from democracy," says political scientist Jean Tillie, who worked on this study together Ineke Roex and Sjef van Stiphout for two and a half years. "These people have very nasty views."

He doesn't think, though, that these people constitute a serious threat. The most orthodox Muslims are mostly older, less-educated, unemployed Moroccan men. "That is a group which we know won't throw bombs so fast. the people who commit violence have until now always been young hotheads with too many hormones."

To decide the religiosity level of those who defined themselves as Muslims, the researchers asked them whether they allow (sometimes or always) for themselves the following or not:

1. Watch movies which show naked women

2. Be in a place where alcohol is served

3. Are men allowed to wear gold jewelry

4. Postpone the obligatory prayer

5. Listen to non-religious music

6. Are men allowed to wear pants below the ankles

7. Shake hands with with somebody of the opposite sex who is not your spouse or close relative

8. Go to places where men and women are jointly present

9. Greet others on non-Islamic holidays (such as birthdays or the New Year's).
