Islamic and Cultural Center of Belgium

Last Friday, we paid a visit to the Islamic and Cultural Center of Belgium where we met with a visiting Imam from Antwerp, Nordin Taouil. He went over some of the basic tenets of Islam and what it means to be a Muslim. He even recited a few verses of the Quran for us. Although he didn't speak much about politics, meeting him was particularly interesting because his political views are considered fairly controversial in the Netherlands, one of his most frequently discussed positions was his support of a boycott on schools in reaction to a headscarf ban in 2009.
