“wishing death on others”

I don’t believe anybody on this message board is wishing harm to innocent people. Europeans have been hypocritical of the US policy on terror, but this doesn’t mean we hope they won’t live peaceful lives.

Europeans must come to grips with the problem, and stop Hollanders from killing one another because of religious differences. Immigrants should be able to cherish their traditions, but must adopt the culture of their host. If they are not willing to embrace their new home in their hearts, then they should move back to their homeland.

"Two of those arrested--known only as Jason W. and Jermaine W.--were Dutch-American converts to Islam."

Well, that's a bit of news.

Pinging you, Knighthawk, as you seem to be the point person on this story.

Let's just hope the Dutch don't back down. Europe is under assault from its Muslim immigrant population. Anyone who doubts that the War on Terror will be a global, generational, struggle is just kidding themselves.

Our job here, IMMIGRATION REFORM, and NOT as envisioned by our elites. We've got the left on the run and we must keep chasing them down.

Hollanders, religious and secular, generally live by the golden rule; Radical Muslims view that cultural groove as a weakness to be exploited. There is no common ground, no place for compromise. They'd say, "Make us!" [leave].

They like the West. They're staying. They will not be persuaded otherwise. Wishful thinking and fervent hope will not alter what is to come.

At this point, the Dutch seem more inclined to move from Live and Let Live to its opposite, and are calling for laws that make the Patriot Act look like Kumbayah.

Glad to see the Dutch still have a survival instinct, unlike, I suspect, several other European countries that are soon to be in similar situations.

"It seems one dead artist stirs up more fuss than 3000 dead New Yorkers."

A twist on the adage: " A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. "

Let's just hope the Dutch don't back down.

They are the boy with the finger in the dike.

They converted to islam 4 years ago. They were arrested together with 5 others. One of the brothers was arrested in The Hague after a long seige by the police.

But ask yourself this...if you were a "good" Muslim...why even think about moving to a non-Muslim country? Evidentally...they prioritized their lifestyle, and preferred western living...but now, they have reprioritized their lifestyle again to indicate that the Muslim religion outrules society rules.

They have not been swapping priorties, they intended to foster insurrection from the start. Islam has been using this very method for 1400 years, it is nothing new. It is just difficult for the Western mind to understand the depth of deceit in the Islamic mind.
