Controversial imam Khalid Yasin has been permitted to give a number of speeches in the Netherlands, but will be prosecuted if he incites hatred. Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin told MPs that Yasin cannot be refused entry unless he has been proved to be a danger to national security or public order. Yasin, a convert to Islam, was born in the United States. He is known for such controversial statements including that AIDS was invented in the West and deliberately injected into Africans, and saying that Muslims cannot have non-Muslim friends.
