Moroccan-Dutch imam Youssef Msibih was suspended from his position at Bilal Mosque in Alkmaar after joining a controversial delegation of European Muslim leaders who met Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Jerusalem. The visit sparked strong backlash from Muslim clerics in the Netherlands, who denounced it as a betrayal of Islamic values amid Israel’s war in Gaza.
The Spanish National Court and the Prosecutor’s Office have refused the requests made by the victims of the 2017 Barcelona attacks. Their lawyer alleges that the mastermind of the La Rambla attacks, a Moroccan imam called Abdelbaki Es Satty, had links with the Spanish intelligence services.
