Islam Online- Skinheads Threaten Dutch Security

At a time the racist attacks against Dutch Muslims and Islamic places are on the rise, a government report warned that the scale of racism and extremism are worryingly increasing among right-wing “skinhead” youth, posing major threats to Dutch national security. “The rate of racism and extremism have been worryingly on the rise among Dutch youth during the past few years,” said a report of the Utrecht state information service, published by NRC Handelsblad Monday, April 4. The report warned that such radical right-wing youth groups pose grave dangers to Dutch society even more than what it termed as “Islamic extremism”, calling on Dutch security bodies and local authorities to examine how powerful are these groups in the country. “Skinheads” are groups of students who have racist inclinations but without being members of any political party. Researchers said the “skinhead” youth are often hailing to families suffering from social and psychological problems. They are also drug and narcotics’ addicts.
