"Xenophobic"????
Phobia means 'an unrealistic fear of.' Xeno means 'foreign.'
You see, words MEAN things. The Dutch are not afraid of these Islamicists; they are angry at them. Their anger is also NOT unrealistic. Also, the problem is not with foreigners. Witness the long list of people they still welcome. You see, liberal journalists will slimily set a false premise, and then we all argue about that false premise as if it were true. (One sees the same thing with the use of the non-word: 'homophobic'.)
If you MUST argue with a liberal, make certain you call them on their false premises AT THE START.

Of the 57 member nations of the Organization of Islamic States, there is one in the Western Hemisphere. It only has observer status. It was also a former Dutch Colony, like Indonesia. It has reciprocal immigration policies with Indonesia. It is in close proximity to both Cuba and Venezuela.
There is no need for Islamic terrorists to come in through the Mexican border. They can simply travel from Indonesia to Surinam to Venezuela or skip Venezuela and go directly to Cuba.
Mexico gets headlines and raises money, Surinam does not. Occam's razor be damned. Effective terrorists don't think in a straight line.
Maybe I'm just paranoid.

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. In the video are images of windmills and tulips but there are also scenes of a homosexual wedding and topless women sunbathing — elements that are clearly offensive to Muslim people. The above statement pretty much says it all and can be read as this:
"We want to come to your country because it is prosperous and has excellent welfare but your culture disgusts us. No, we will not assimilate. Do not offend our delicate sensibilities or we will murder you."
And then they wonder why the Dutch are slowly retracting the welcome mat.

A person should have a working knowledge of the language and basic general culture of a place if he/she has any interest in living there.
