Liberal Dutch mosque closes due to cash crisis
An experimental Liberal Amsterdam mosque where prayers were said in Dutch has been forced to close because of financial problems, AP reports on Wednesday.
The Polder mosque has debts of around €200,000 and has turned down offers of financial help from abroad because it conflicts with its policy, AP says.
The mosque’s organisers hope to reopen next year in a cheaper location.
