In 2001, two Arab immigrants to the Netherlands, Egyptian-born Farouk Ibrahim (58) and Moroccan-born Mustafa Aboustib, set up the Arab Democratic Party (Arabische Democratische Partij), complaining that Arabs were not well represented in mainstream political parties except as "pretty Arab faces".[2] In 2007, a group of Arab Dutch complained about the television network Al Jazeera's effective monopoly on Arabic broadcasting in the country.[3]
