Amsterdam - Moroccan-Dutch politician Ahmed Aboutaleb was sworn in on Monday as mayor of Rotterdam, the second largest city of the Netherlands. The 47-year-old Labour politician is the first mayor of a Dutch city to be born and raised outside the Netherlands. He is also the first Muslim to become a mayor in the Netherlands.
Some 45 per cent of Rotterdam's half a million citizens were born outside the Netherlands or have foreign-born parents.
The city suffers from a broad range of socio-economic problems. Crime involving the migrant community is an ongoing issue that causes tension with Dutch-born citizens.
Speaking for the first time as a mayor, Aboutaleb said he would commit himself to making Rotterdam a safer city.
"The city moved forward tremendously under my predecessor. This direction appeals to me. Rotterdam has become safer and the people of the city can notice it."

hmm, gee, wonder what they should have done to prevent their broad range of socio-economic problems?, I’m guessing “moving the country foward” did not help.
Let’s face it: Europe is done for.

That’s now in 2009. Imagine what it’ll be like in 2025:
“Some 75 per cent of Rotterdam’s 1.5 million citizens were born outside the Netherlands or have foreign-born parents. The city suffers from daily attacks on the small Christian community and a broad range of socio-economic and crime problems”
Rotterdam has the same population as Washington DC.
More importantly, it was the world’s busiest seaport until 2004. It is still, by far, Europe’s busiest seaport.

So are we when our Muslim president gets sworn in two weeks!
By 2050 every large city in Europe will be run by Islamic fascist. Holland is just ahead of the curve.
Europe is being overrun by Muslims. Many countries in Europe are already 25% Muslim!!! Over 300 years ago, the advancing hordes of muslims were defeated and turned back at Vienna. Now, they are taking over all of Europe without having to fire a shot.
America will soon be in the same shape as Europe is now.

Muslim Mayor...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Does that mean the working “girls” in the red light district will be stoned to death?
This is disturbing nonetheless. And, where is all the out-cry over "indigenous peoples and cultures", like we get over here in the U.S.? hmmmm??
They don’t call it ROTterDAM for nothing .
