Yasmina Haifi, a Dutch woman from a Turkish background, was the textbook example of a successful and integrated Muslim. A cultural anthropologist by trade, in 2013 she was nominated for the award of Ethnic Manager of the Year by a platform for ethnic Dutch businesswomen. As a former Labour Party city council member in The Hague (1994-98), she was a Labour Party talent scout from 2011 onwards. In 2012 she started her most prestigious job to date: a high-ranking Human Resources manager and Project Leader at the Dutch National Cyber Security Centre [NCSC] in The Hague -- a sub-department of the Dutch governments National Coordinator of Anti-Terrorism and Security. On August 13, Haifi tweeted: ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. Its a preconceived Zionist plan who want to deliberately make Islam look bad.(sic) Even though the tweet got Haifi suspended the same day, she said on a radio interview that Ive taken the liberty of expressing myself and apparently I have to pay for that. I wouldnt know why I should renounce my statement. This is how I feel about it. ... Apparently certain things cannot be said. I did not give my opinion. I didnt make that up about Zionism. I read countless articles about it. buff.ly/1qzzQCm
