Dutch to Muslims: Do you really want to settle here? Dutch send Muslims a warning

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands -- The new test for foreigners who want to apply for Dutch residency is, well, very Dutch.

It features a DVD that illustrates various aspects of Dutch life, including, most notably, a topless woman frolicking in the surf and two men kissing warmly. The message couldn't be more explicit: This is who we are; if you don't accept it, don't come.

Although the DVD doesn't single out any particular group, the intended target of the message is clear. Growing numbers of conservative Muslim immigrants are seen by many Dutch as posing a threat to the Netherlands' liberal consensus and easygoing lifestyle.

The Dutch are not alone. Britain and Germany are toying with the idea of citizenship tests that would examine cultural values of Muslim immigrants. In the wake of Sept. 11, the attacks in London and Madrid, and the Danish cartoon controversy, Europeans are struggling to come to grips with a widening culture gap between themselves and an increasingly alienated Muslim immigrant community.

We all know the culture of Muslim's. Just forbid them from settling in our country. Why beat around the Bush.

In the long run, the Dykes cannot be relied upon to maintain the dykes.

From what the world exhibits of muslim engineering, work ethic, economic results, they would likely allow the whole thing to go into disrepair, blaming the infidels.

New Orleans redux.

It is the first time in history wanton sex has been used to *not* sell something - lol. They think Muslims are martians...

Hopefully, the DVD will impress upon them the reality that they're going to see things they don't like and remind them they have no right to kill people doing things that are forbidden in Islam.

The muslims can abhor Dutch behavior all they want but they have no right to demand that the Dutch change who they are or how they behave to suit their (or any) religious beliefs.

I think the Dutch are onto something here. They have figured out how to stem the flow of Muslims into their country--- but putting their finger in the dyke.

"We used to think: Give people time and they will integrate. It's a nice theory, but it didn't work," he said.

How about that.

The problem isn't that Muslims object to immorality; the problems are various other things they object to (like freedom of speech and religion) and...how they object.

Exactly. This is all part of the leftist effort to outlaw beliefs in the immorality of homosexual activity or public indecency.

[GreyFriar]

How about just telling Muslims about San Francisco as the best place for them to live after they come here?

[georgia2006]

so youre saying Mexicans and hispanics are porn addicts?

wanna bet obsenity laws are tougher in latin american than they are here?

[processing please hold]

Well, I could never be Dutch. I don't want to see neeked women frolicking in the ocean and I danged sure don't wanna see men kissing. ulk.

[BW2221]

You're right. Two sick cultures in competition.

[ccmay]

I get to Amsterdam on Tuesday. I'll have to add this to my list of things to go see.

I wouldn't think too many topless girls will be frolicking in the North Sea this time of year. Wait till summer, or check out the scantily clad hookers behind glass store-fronts in the red light district.

The Dutch are wrong in their "liberal concensus", and the Moslems are definitely wrong in wanting to go to the place.

They're deeply into nonconsensual euthenasia among other things.

If all of us give them some "space", they'll kill each other off all the faster!

[gogogodzilla]

This is all well and good, but if the Dutch don’t want immigrants and don’t have children, who exactly will take care of them when they are old?

---

America could always lend a hand with that...

...by shipping over all our illegal immigrants.

I would hazard a guess that the Dutch would rather have Mexican Catholics in their country than Saudi Wahabi's.

(besides, isn't Spanish one of the offical languages of the EU?)

[good1]

Certainly the Muslims still want to go ther. They will continue to go there, and when they get strong enough its the dutch who wil be watching videos of the women of the Netherlands in Burka's. Muslims dont go to countries to become what that country believes in they go to make a change , Its in their book

And outstanding comment. You, are one person who really understands the Muslim mind and their agenda, which is world domination. They are no different, in this regard, than the Nazis or the Communists.

May your tribe increase.

The US, on the other hand, is just showing trailers for Brokeback Mountain.

[eleni121]

The Dutch certainly are dumb as wooden clogs about their muslims.

Muslims have never had a problem with nudity and assorted degeneracy. Read a little the Ottoman Turk history ( homo eroticism ruled practiced with the "reluctant infidel" Christians of course) or check out the nightclubs in the mediterranean today packed full of Saudis flying the Nordic girlfriends in for a weekend blast.

There are hookers in Amsterdam?!?! :o
