The Dutch government unveiled a package of measures Friday aimed at
countering radicalization of Muslims in the country, a day after police
announced the arrest of two men suspected of recruiting people to fight
in conflicts in Syria and Iraq.
The proposals include beefing up the government’s powers to strip people of their Dutch nationality if they join terrorist groups overseas or play a role in foreign terror training camps.
They also are aimed at countering the spread of extremism online and via social media by tackling Internet providers that knowingly allow terror organizations to spread jihadi propaganda.
“In the Netherlands, there is no room for spreading hate or extremism,” Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s government said in a statement.
