Summary Terrorist Threat Netherlands 46

Regularly found in Netherlands vandalism and graffiti in place / mosques and Islamic schools. There are also examples of mosques being harassed with threatening letters, as in June AsSoennah mosque in The Hague. The most visible manifestation of the extreme right in the Netherlands is determined by groups like Pegida, Identitair Resistance (ID-Resistance) and increasingly Erkenbrand. The above-mentioned groups are characterized by extreme right ideas, but use no violent methods to achieve their goals.
Worrisome is the increased rate of radical Pegida during the last year. This is reflected by the widening of the focus on acting against Islam, Muslims seekers and, in general,. The group operates in the Netherlands now with right-extremist organizations from abroad like HoGeSa (Hooligans against Salafism) from Germany.

ID opposition chose this DTNperiode for temporarily occupying Muslim properties, as the Salafist Cornelius Haga school and a mosque under construction in Venlo. ID Resistance remains, unlike other identitary groups in Europe, limited in size. Also concerns remain about Erkenbrand. The group works online and offline to further expand the number of followers of their racialist doctrine.
