Dutch Anxiety Over ‘Sharia Triangle’ Police No-Go Area in The Hague
The Irish Times ^ | 5/24/13 | Peter Cluskey

Area two kilometres from city centre has become ‘orthodox Muslim territory’ largely ignored by authorities

There have been calls for an urgent debate in the Dutch parliament about the integration of Muslim immigrants amid claims that one area of The Hague, known locally as “the Sharia triangle”, is being run by a form of unofficial Sharia police.

The claims relate to the district of Schilderswijk, about two kilometres from the city centre, where an almost entirely Muslim population of some 5,000 people surrounds the El Islam mosque, fuelling criticism that the government has failed to ensure a proper ethnic mix in schools and local housing. One recent investigation, in which local people were extensively interviewed, concluded that Schilderswijk had become “orthodox Muslim territory” which was now largely ignored by the city authorities, by politicians and even by the police, on the grounds that it had become self-regulating.

The investigation found that orthodox Muslims had become so dominant that they were dictating what people in the neighbourhood wore and how they behaved.

“The norms of the majority are beginning to take over,” it said.

In the case of women, dress was a particular issue. One woman told how her daughter had been approached and told her short skirt was inappropriate, while her son had been called a “kaffir” – a racist term formerly used in colonial South Africa to refer to a black person – for smoking.

The Hague is not that big of the city. Also, not only is it the capital of the Netherlands, it is the home of the International Court of Justice!

Are Western nations going to continue to be sovereign over their own affairs? Or are they unofficially turning their countries over to foreign powers?

We fought two World Wars over there, only to have them hand over their countries to invasion and rule by foreigners without any kind of defense.

Don’t know if it is still true, but in the 80’s and 90’s there were places in Miami and Chicago that the police would NOT set foot in. For the usual reasons.

Squishy Dutch. They ignore the lessons of European history. Once Islam conquerors something, it becomes muslim territory forever.

It’s time for the Netherlands to be returned to the sea.

Will the Dutch realize how stupid it was to allow bands of bearded savages to take over the country?

Wasps find a spider. They feel all along the spider, which freezes. Then, the wasp goes away to dig a hole. The spider remains frozen. Only when the wasp stings it does the spider attempt to fight, but it’s too late by then. The spider is paralyzed and the wasp drags it to a hole and lays its egg in the body. The larval wasp eats the spider alive.

In answer to our question, when will the invaded societies fight? Well, when they’ve been stung and it’s too late.

“A veiled Muslim woman, however, defended Islamic practices, and said dressing modestly would “do the locals good”. She pointed out that women in the Dutch ultra-conservative, largely Protestant, Bible Belt also wore long dresses, and that shops there were closed on Sunday – as many in Schilderswijk were on Fridays.”

I would be very surprised if the Protestant, Bible belt portion of Holland required the stoning of those who didn’t follow their rules.

Only leftists ever cede authority over part of their jurisdiction, their responsibility. Importantly, leftists support policies against their citizens that make it possible to cede such territory.

When conservatives ascend to leadership over such an enclave, they immediately work to end it as a chaotic or ungoverned place. They start by enforcing the law there, then they divide and gentrify it, to integrate it with the more prosperous community around it.

And this is important, because the forces of chaos are dependent on poverty, inequity, and most of all passivity, and this is true on the small or large scale.

Granted, the forces of chaos vigorously oppose this, because if it is successful, even they can tell it is the end of their power.

A great example of turning around such a violent and chaotic place may begin in Chicago after June 9th, when the state of Illinois has appeals court enforced gun liberty, despite the leftists who currently control it.

What is likely to happen is that the citizens of Chicago will again realize that the power of government is from them, not from government. And if they enforce law and order, they will get law and order.

This triangle will continue to grow and grow, unless the dutch excise it like the cancer it is, immediately. Sooner or later, the people will finally be fed up with the lack of government action, and rivers of blood will flow in the streets.

I hope your understanding spreads. However, even if people eventually “get the picture” they may not have the moral strength to do anything to stop the takeover.

True in the last 100 years, but not true if you go far enough back (Middle ages, Islam encroached well into Spain, Eastern Europe etc, but was beaten back by Charles Martel and several other heroes.

Europeans knew who they were and what they stood for then, though.

This is exactly what I am referring to. The islamists teach that Spain, et. all. are occupied muslim lands just as they do Israel. They are quite serious about this. We remember Martel, but also note the the ‘reconquista’ took 700 years to complete, finally ending in the fateful year of 1492. It was far more bitter and tenacious than anything we have seen in the last 100 years.

Belgium is right up there. They were the ones who basically joined their Nazi overlords from the outbreak of hostilities. Battalions of Waffen SS troops from Belgium fought against the Russians on the Eastern Front. Holland at least put up a pro forma defense.

If they keep pushing I think the people are just about ready to explode. It is coming to the point where these areas need surrounded and burnt to the ground.Allow no one out. Problem solved.

Thanks marshmallow.

Block off the neighborhood, tell all non-muzzies to get out, when they're out, set the whole thing on fire and blast anyone who tries to escape. Y'know, in the nicest possible way.
