Holland: Hindu temple under attack by Muslims

Holland: Hindu temple under attack by Muslims

Cid Martel of Dutchdisease.com has kindly sent over this translation of a Dutch-language article.

Why is it permissible in the Dutch press to say "Hindu" but not "Muslim," so that we get a story about a "Hindu" temple attacked by "Moroccan" youth? Are we supposed to believe that Moroccans as such have some animus toward Hindus? Are we to assume that this is fallout from some border dispute between Morocco and India? (You didn't know they shared a border? Of course they do. It runs just southwest of Poland China, the famous hog-breeding nation.)

A Hindu temple in The Hague, the Ram Mandir, is frequently being attacked by a group of Moroccan youth. Young Hindus are so fed up with the situation they want to take matters into their own hands. Morrocans shove dog faeces through the mailbox and have broken into the temple twice, stolen a statue, urinated inside and stolen money from the moneybox. Mister S. Ramdhani, a Hindu priest, says: “They spit, don’t let visitors pass through, robbed two elderly ladies and then threatened them not to press charges. Our secretary was attacked with a stick.”

Ramdhani doesn’t want young Hindus and Moroccans to clash. “If groups start fighting each other we get a very bad situation. We can’t have that here in Holland.” Ramdhani is very embittered about the case. Last year he was given a ribbon by the queen for his contribution to the integration of foreigners in the neighbourhood. Every year thousands of students from The Hague come to the temple to learn more about the Hindu faith; it’s also a haven for troubled teens. Since 9/11 Ramdhani has been trying to reach out to Christians and Muslims.

The trouble caused by Moroccan youth has made a dent in Ramdhani’s idealism. He’s thinking about no longer attending the 9/11 meetings. “I feel discriminated against. Why they have to choose our temple? There is a mosque nearby. Why don’t they go over there to cause trouble? They must hate the Hindu faith. Otherwise I don’t know.”

Rabin Baldewsingh, a member of the city council for the social-democrats, asked mayor Deetman for help. The police says it’s ‘on the agenda’.

Sure it is.

At least in part, the answer is: Many of the God-fearing, rural Dutch farmers emmigrated to the United States to escape war-torn Europe in the 40's and 50's.

***I don't know if there's much of a town named "New Holland"**

Well according to that map I linked, New Holland looks to be about 10 miles North of Holland. It does appear to be a 'pretty small' town though as it's indicated by a 'dot'.

And later on, when America invaded Canada, the Royalists kicked the snot out of the Americans. Hmm, History.

You have just helped me tie another knot in the historical time line, the Royalists Connection. 200 years later the Royalists in North America pay oodles of money to the Royalists in the United Kingdom for a junk vessel. The N.A. Royalists get blown up trying to sail the junk submarine home. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are being pedantic, sir.

I was merely pointing out that the Dutch are not alone in electing creeps.

Just do what millions of other Illegal Aliens do every year. Visit Mexico's Northern border, pick up a survival comic book, (furnished at no charge by the Mexican Government). Find a shallow spot in the Rio Grande, walk across and follow the books directions. After you have been here a while they will grant you amnesty and you can become a citizen

I always liked Throgs Neck and Spuyten Duyvil, I once took a small unpowered sailboat through there, (21 footer)with the tide. There are whirlpools in there that are more than a hundred yards across.
