Gouda: Muslims against women next to mosque
Muslim community in Holland sabotages building project including school and kindergarten next to new house of prayer.
Gouda. In the Dutch town of Gouda, known for its cheese, the
biggest mosque of Holland is to be built. The local authorities have
planned it at a former army base, the location where the city developers
have also planned a kindergarten and a school. “It’s a
successful architectural Trio-Ensemble” is what is said about the new
destination of the army base.
But it might fail: those responsible for the mosque project don’t
want a kindergarten and a school near them. Reason: in both places
women will be working as teachers and pedagogues, which could distract
the muslim men from their prayers. Now the muslim community even wants
to buy the whole area, to avoid other kinds of uses.
City kept conflict secret
The city council is in dire straits: they kept the quarrel over the
female teachers and educators scrupulously secret until all details
about the planned discrimination of the women were leaked to the media.
There is no hope of compromise. The muslims rest their case: women are
not allowed to work near a mosque, because they will disturb the men.
Now all building plans are put on hold until further notice.
