Dutch Muslims Dismayed by Anti-Islamic Backlash THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Selami Aydin's words will comfort many Dutch people if opinion polls are to be believed. "I'm thinking of going back to Turkey. Seriously," the 39-year-old Muslim said just a few hundred meters (yards) from the apartment police stormed last Wednesday after a 14-hour siege with suspected Islamic militants. "We're all frightened." The Netherlands' image as the land of tolerance has been shattered in the two weeks since outspoken filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered and a Muslim suspect arrested in the crime. Since Van Gogh's death on Nov. 2 there have been at least 20 arson attacks on mosques and churches in tit for tat violence. A Muslim school was damaged by a bomb on Monday, another set ablaze on Tuesday. There have been a number of minor arson attacks on churches and a classroom at a Catholic school in Eindhoven was destroyed by fire on Wednesday. In the latest suspected arson attack on Saturday, a small mosque in the south was destroyed by fire.

Good. Maybe we can encourage those here to leave also.

Well said!
Hmm. I detect a new FR catch phrase brewing!
I am only here to serve. *Bow* Besides, I speak my best Dutch when I'm shloshed. Not to be confused with "slashed" when translated into "Islamofascist."
Hmmm....the Muzzies in the Nederlanden get upset and leave when they get some pressure on them...what can we learn from this class?
The USA could be much safer if we didn't have all these Terrorist enclaves IN our own country.
Find them and move 'em OUT!
This is good.
