Holland: Anti-Muslim incidents increase

The killing of controversial filmmaker, allegedly by an Islamic extremist, has sparked several anti-Muslim incidents in the Netherlands, including two attempts to burn down mosques, Dutch media reported Sunday.
Eight alleged Islamic extremists have been arrested in connection with Tuesday's slaying of Theo van Gogh, who earlier this year released a film critical of how women are treated under Islam. Among those arrested was the alleged 26-year-old killer, identified only as Mohammed B.
Though mainstream Muslim groups condemned the killing, it has caused an outpouring of anger in the Netherlands.
Vandals threw red paint Saturday night on a center in Amsterdam that aids immigrants, many of them Muslim. The Emcemo center is located several blocks from the spot where Van Gogh was killed, and its director, Abdou Menebhi, told local television station AT5 that he "assumed (the vandalism) was done by a racist group of some kind."
In the town of Huizen, police arrested two men they say were caught preparing to ignite a fire at the An-Nasr mosque Friday night, national news service NOS reported. A mosque in the city of Breda sustained minor fire damage in another reported arson attempt.
Earlier this week, a small fire was set at a mosque in Utrecht, police said, and a pig's head was left in a plastic bag outside a mosque in Amsterdam.
NOS reported Sunday that pamphlets with the image of a pig and a slur against Muslims were circulating in Rotterdam.
Van Gogh, a distant relative of the famous painter Vincent van Gogh, released "Submission" in August. The film was criticized as insensitive by some Muslim groups.
On Tuesday, Van Gogh was shot while riding his bicycle and then stabbed and had his throat cut. His killer left a 5-page note quoting from the Quran and threatening more attacks. Prosecutors believe the killer was part of a terrorist group with international links.
Of the eight suspects arrested, six remain in detention for the killing, including Mohammed B.
Judges ordered two suspects released Friday for lack of evidence, a decision prosecutors said they will appeal.

I know, what would be sad would be the targeting of Hindus and Eastern Christians.

Too little, too late. If the Dutch try to take any serious action against Muslims in their country, they be subjected to a guerilla war which they will subsequently lose. Based on my (admittedly limited) knowledge of the Netherlands, they are a society that has had any trace of "fight" drained out of them. The next few years will be their test.
Woe to them if they are measured, and found wanting

Wait a minute, the Dutch should try and understand the Muslims, bend over backwards to appease them and reflect upon why a Muslim would kill one of their own. hahaha Nice to see the shoe on the other foot for a change, you spineless Euros.

Note to Holland
Muslim Terrorists have invaded your country, but they are not your only worry..
They also have a fifth column they and their allies like to call moderates...sometimes even your own
leaders will speak Muslim propaganda to you...things like 'Islam is a religion of peace' etc.
Your own leaders are your other worry.
Do not believe them ...they have either believed the lie or have been paid off through petrol
dollars graft..courtesy Saudi Arabia or even worse are agents of the EU globalist looking for
'the hook' the Muslims will provide to consolidate their power...
A War on terror inside the Euro Union...making it their problem rather than your problem.
The so called 'moderate Muslims' are a 'Trojan horse' do not let down your guard..
These Muslims are also temporarily in league with the New World Order (EU branch), with whom they share a desire to
see your nation in chaos...after your culture and nation fall then they will fight over the spoils..
If You wish to keep your identity and national sovereignty you must totally reject all forms of Islam and reject any of their attempts to
modify your culture to their own ends...While at the same time ferreting out the moles in your own government.
The Muslims will cry that they are victims and persecuted while they rape, steal, and kill you and yours. Their temporary allies
will also push the Islamic twisted version of events
If your leaders insist upon bringing even more of them into your nation or criminals of other nations yet while at the same time
undermining any individual efforts to stop them or their acts of terror... rest assured your
leaders have betrayed you.
You are in for the fight of your lives..a multi front war against enemies divided into moderates and radicals yet who have the same ultimate agenda and may even appear at times to be at opposites..don't believe your eyes alone...like a good magicians trick...look for misdirection

Only a matter of time, mate. Of course, this time they will be fighting an external enemy, instead of themselves.

Ummmmhh, don't bet against the Dutch.
It may take damn near an a-bomb to get them started--but after they're started, they simply will NOT quit.
Even the Poles start faster than the Dutch.

christians know that the final battle of the earth will be against satan in the middle east. during the cold war it was assumed to be the soviet union was satan's mask but now the islamic world order must be considered the new candidate for the face of evil.

Holland needs to stop being a welfare state, and needs to *ban* any more Muslim immigration. If they don't do this, the high Islamic birth rates are going to overwhelm them in the next 20 years or so.

I have many Hindu friends and they are all very fine folks. I feel sorry for them because after 9-11 many were discriminated against due to ignorance.
Theirs isn't the religion of hate, that is reserved for the Muslims.
