Hope they’re ready to deal with an increase in rapes. With those shameless whores revealing their faces the poor muslim male won’t be able to stop acting like an animal.

The Dutch have... intestinal fortitude.
Maybe some of the other Euros will follow their example.

“...public transport companies are free to decide whether they introduce such a ban. Most public transport companies say there is no need because women wearing burqas do not pose a security risk.”

Everytime I see that man’s fat butt I wish I knew how to do photoshop.
I see a big Kick Me sign placed right there and that’s exactly what I would love to do...kick him!

I met many Dutch in Japan. They take great pride in learning English. American English with an American accent.
