Westerners have misunderstood the Dutch for a long time. They embraced tolerance because it worked for them, or at least seemed to. Now they will make potential immigrants watch video of two men kissing in public {ugh}and women sunbathing topless {yum!} and those that don't react appropriately will not be allowed in. This will also work for them. They are a very practical people.

It's also a mistake to equate tolerance with liberalism - one we especially should not make. The Dutch have been tolerant for practical reasons, but are probably less liberal than most Europeans.

this, on top of the possible (if unlikely) lawsuit attempting the illegalization of the Koran in Germany, sure is interesting

"Would I be locked up in the Netherlands if I preached that rational distaste?"

You might be. I've come to think this is why liberal/libertarian societies make perfect hosts for Islamoparasitism. Moral equivalency.

Uh, ya don't think they'll figure out how to respond to those videos?

"Though most sentences were short", says it all. The Dutch are finished. The Muslim population of Holland is 6%, I was under the impression that at 15% they would have had enough political and social clout to call the shots. I was mistaken. The demographics of the native Dutch (dismal), combined with the flight of the young and skilled, along with the monied, will seal the fate of the Dutch in short order.

Would you live in a country where your politicians, film makers, writers and publishers are in hiding or under protection from a mere fraction of 6% of the population and your government is all but powerless to respond?

With Muslims, half measures don't work. It'll get worse until the Dutch boot them out wholesale. All of the EU needs to do this. Of course, Algeria or Morocco or wherever won't take them all back, but Syria has a few spare beds.
