....how SAD for these women. Why won't the NOW nags ever help people like these who REALLY NEED it!

Funny how there's always a "far-right" but never a "center-right" or "far-left".

Bousakla wrote a book, ``Couscous with Belgian Fries,'' critical of forced marriages and the subjugation of Muslim women. She has continued working in the Senate, but stays away from home at night. A Belgian convert to Islam has been arrested and confessed to threatening Bousakla.

Soon they will follow the examples in Pakistan where Muslim women get acid thrown in their faces for not wearing hijab.

These home brewed converts are the worst.. they have some rose tinted romanticized vision of Islam because they have never in their lives been to a Mu-slum country and experienced the hell holes for themselves.

One needs only to look at the example of Sultana "I want to wear a mask on my photo ID pic" Freeman in Florida to see the amazing way they think Islam should be applied at home.

"Even my scarf, my hijab, I buy in Dutch stores. What more do you want from me?"

There you go.

The scarf is the mark of a muslim. If she wants to be Dutch lose the scarf and the attitude.

Assimilation, or the "melting pot", sems to be an alien idea to muslims of both sexes. They want to stand apart, but whine when they're discriminated against.

It is in the Netherlands that the culture clash has been the most explosive perhaps because it was long obscured by the nation's fabled tolerance and progressive views.

And, look where that "tolerance" and those "progressive views" got them.

It's hard to have any pity for a stupid person let alone a stupid nation.

The only good thing that can be learned from the Dutch today is that multiculturalism is a sham that will wreck a country as quick as a war will.

There is no freedom without the freedom to buy a 10 gauge and blow off the head of someone who is trying to kill you. Until these beleaguered European-Muslim women start agitating for weapons rights, they're talking into the wind.

Thanks for posting this very interesting article. I think it shows that there is a reformation process underway in Islam. Many Muslims are not the extremists like the Taliban. They are reinterpreting their religion in a modern context.

I think it is really important to not alienate these kind of people.

There are 1.3 billion Muslims. I think young people like these are the future.
