Dutch Justice Ministry Employee Claims ISIS is a Zionist Conspiracy to give Islam a bad reputation.HT: Forward.
An employee of the Dutch Justice Ministry said the jihadist group ISIS was created by Zionists seeking to give Islam a bad reputation.
Yasmina Haifi, a project leader at the ministry’s National Cyber Security Center, made the assertion Wednesday on Twitter, the De Telegraaf daily reported.
“ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. It’s part of a plan by Zionists who are deliberately trying to blacken Islam’s name,” wrote Haifi, who described herself on the social network LinkedIn as an activist for the Dutch Labor party, or PvdA.
She later removed her original message, explaining, “I realize the political sensitivity in connection with my work. That was not my intention.”
Two right-wing lawmakers have asked the ministry how a person with such views reached a prominent position within the ministry. The lawmakers, Joram van Klaveren and Louis Bontes of the VNL faction, asked whether the minister thought Haifi’s employment constituted a security risk.
ISIS, which is considered a terrorist organization in many Western countries, has been in the news in the Netherlands because of a series of pro-ISIS demonstrations in the Hague in July and earlier this month. Some demonstrators called for violence.
,, I did not invent it myself, I've read articles about it. There is enough evidence for a link between ISIS and Israel, "said Haifi in The News BV. They would not comment on whether her theory is not just a hoax. ,, I want to play no-yes-no game."
Haifi invoked the freedom of expression: ,, certain things obviously should not be said. I have taken the liberty to express myself. I'm not someone who runs away to his own opinion. I stand for what I say.
An officer also has the right to express his opinion "Haifi is shocked by what has come down on her since her infamous tweet: ,, I had no idea that my tweet would cause such reactions.".
The employer of Haifi, the Ministry of Security and Justice, said she has been suspended with immediate effect.
On Radio 1 she said she was not informed of the suspension by the Ministry. Haifi works at the National Cyber Security Center.
