I wrote at some length yesterday about Muslim advocacy groups crying "racism" at any hint of criticism — but this one is far beyond that. It shows that large numbers of Muslims do not share many of the values that most Westerners assume they share. It also shows that at least some are demanding that the Dutch abandon all vestiges of Christianity in their culture.
Live From Brussels tells us about Dutch artist Chris Ripke, who painted a mural containing the words "Thou shalt not kill" ("Gij zult niet doden") in response to the murder of Theo van Gogh:
But because the head of the nearby mosque complained to the police that this was 'offensive' and 'racist', the cops came and sent in city workers to sandblast the mural. A local journalist, Wim Nottroth, who wanted to protest against this by standing in front of the mural was arrested. His story, in Dutch, here. Video of the event, here. It has come to this.
As soon as white European women are being raped and stoned to death in the streets for wearing a sun-dress, the Frogs are forbidden to drink wine, the Jerries are no longer allowed to brew bier.
But after all the sh*t, obstructionism, and anti-American hatred they've given us over the years, I'd be more inclined to tell them to get stuffed and to get used to serfdom.
And most importantly, to let them know that we will NOT ALLOW THEM TO MOVE TO AMERICA BECAUSE THEY ARE NO LONGER WELCOME HERE!
"...will make the few Europeans left who care about their future wake up..."
Yes, but what worries me is that we're only a bit behind Europe in cultural decline. Our blue states largely resemble Europe and our red states are not solid enough. The University of Alabama is closer to the typical Massachusetts academic mindset than you would think.
I checked out your "about page". Liked the Pelosi poster. God forgive me but I just HATE her and her sugar-coated anti-American thinking. I heard her on NPR the other day and I'm sure my blood pressure was dangerously high.
I agree. And I expect they will expect us to come bail them out.
Are these events being reported in our MSM? Pity the Leftist Dutch who only thought. . .that compassionate socialism was the answer.
I do hope the Kerry crybabies wake-up; perhaps these stories would help.
Powerful. . .
They will ask for our help and we will give it to them. More young Americans will die in payment for Europe's stupidity.
We may do it because if will give us a chance to put down some more muslim terrorists, but we won't say that. We'll paint it with some pretty words and then we'll do battle.
Righteous killing is justified when your life and the lives of your loved ones are threatened.
I fear you're right, l. Another waste of American lives and treasure for the Euro-schmucks.
you're telling me they're Protestants???????????
