Financial worries may force Amsterdam's Polder Mosque to close its doors. The mosque's supporters have less than two weeks to find 50,000 euros to pay off rent arrears owed to the housing corporation that owns the building. In contrast to many other mosques, the board has refused to accept foreign money to keep the liberal mosque open.
The Polder Mosque opened 18 months ago and unlike other mosques, men and women pray in the same room and Dutch is used exclusively. The liberal mosque ran into financial problems due to high running costs but chairperson Yasmine el Ksaihi is confident that the Polder Mosque will manage to find the money and keep going.
