What is happening to Holland that once stood as the shining light of tolerance and religious freedom?

Islamic terror and thuggery is what happened to Holland. You seem surprised at their reaction.

If I majored in Irony, I'd right my thesis on that news source printing that sentence.

Note To Arabs:

People have a tendency to not like those who try to kill them.

Well, well, well... look at "Arab News"! Aren't they cute? The Netherlands should enforce a permament moratorium on Mohammedan immigrants. It's not the ethnicity but the "RELIGION" of the invaders that's messing up The Netherlands.

I suspect the islamic thugs miscalculated, believing they had protections in europe as robust as those of the American constitution. Ignorant savages are finding out otherwise.

It is a shame that this country has reached such a sad state of affairs that they are looking at the ethnic background or religionist beliefs of would-be immigrants.

And there is the "blame" sentence. It isn't the fault of the Muslim population or of Islam itself that Holland has reached such a sad state. It is the fault of the Dutch.

Islam will never get any respect in the western world because there is nothing respectable about it. It is a coward's religion. It doesn't even have the courage to look in the mirror.

Are the Dutch Becoming More and More Xenophobic?

It strikes me that the question might be better put "Are the Dutch Becoming Xenophobic Enough? And In Time?"

The Dutch have had their wake-up call. How they respond to it will indicate whether or not Europe is salvageable, from a Western point of view.

Of course, the onus is on the Muslim minority to moderate and assimilate. Or, at least, acclimate.

But the larger responsibility rests with the Dutch majority. Can they organize and act with resolve, so as to secure their posterity? Or will they allow themselves to be subsumed? Or will they develop some successful "third way", that isn't a slow-motion surrender?

These choices will be of more than academic interest to future historians.

Hey Backhoe,

I spent the last week going through many of the links you have collated. Amazing stuff that you do.

Thank you very much. Your work is so valuable.

Have a great weekend.

Cheers.

It is infuriating to see how the Arab press turns its back on the misdeeds of Muslims. How many times does it have to be pointed out that while not all Muslims are terrorists, nearly all terrorists are Muslim?

The only thing wrong with the policy is that its about 50 years late.

What he does not say is that the number includes second and third generation children of immigrants, children born in Holland, who are legally Dutch.

One of whom killed Theo. The problem is that they may legally be Dutch, but they do not think of themselves as such.

"Holland encouraged these workers to maintain both their linguistic and cultural identities."

And now Holland has changed it's mind. The Dutch, as well as all Europeans, have for decades gone out of their way to be respectful to immigrants and their cultures. This policy has largely succeeded with most immigrant groups, who want to assimilate and be productive members of society. But it hasn't worked for the Muslims, who are the only ones to consistently present problems. I'm so sick of this bellyaching.

It is a coward's religion. It doesn't even have the courage to look in the mirror.

I suspect all Muslims have problems with mirrors. If you were a Muslim, would you like to look in the mirror?

what percent of Hollands population is Muslim, does anyone know?

Tolerance can exist only amongst civilized people. Didn't anyone think of that. People are for the most part barbarians until they are civilized. Some don't get that. We are no better than primitive animals without civilization.

One of the most disturbing elements of this program is a video that these individuals must watch. The video describes the essence of Dutch life... elements that are clearly offensive to Muslim people.

This may be a stupid question, but if the Dutch lifestyle is so offensive to Muslims, why do they move there? Unless of course it is not to become dutch, but to invade and destroy the country. Ok, I guess it was a stupid question.

If you have a problem with taking the test or the cost of the test--stay the hell where you are. I would like to see America give the same test.
