An official in Holland's biggest city wants to introduce legislation that would ban unemployed women who wear a burqa from receiving welfare payments if it prevents them from finding a job. The issue is the latest Dutch soul-searching over its relations with its own immigrants.
The Multicultural Netherlands is having a serious identity crisis. These days, the country's immigrant melting pot is feeling more like a powderkeg. The latest spark in Holland's mini culture war came this week from the social affairs alderman for the city of Amsterdam, who says women who wear burqas are having trouble finding jobs. His solution? Take it off or lose your benefits.

Nope. They had their crisis, and ignored it, back when they left their identity and adopted the suicidal notion of multiculturalism.

Good idea if they have the balls. Western Civilization is getting race/culture hustled into oblivion.

Yeah but I bet the demented multiculturalists will demand a different solution. Require employers to hire the skanks who dress like cousin It.

"Ahmed Aboutaleb has proposed introducing legislation that would allow the city to cut welfare payments to women who insist on wearing a burqa if it can prove the full-body covering is the reason she can't find a job. Aboutaleb, a member of Amsterdam's Labor Party (PvdA) and a Dutch citizen of Moroccan descent."Now this man makes sense. Of course he had better watch out!

Amsterdam makes Paris look like a clean city. How many people with purple and/or green hair do you need to help the average citizen realize there is a problem in the making?

Thats why I said the idea has some merit.
Never thought much of a person who wants his significant other clad head to toe in the most god awful looking sack of crap devised in the history of man.

Hell No!
I have a hard enough time being civil to Somali women who clean the office building I work in.

I thought the European way would be to make it a crime not to hire a woman in a Burqas.

Women who want to walk around in garbage bags should move to countries where everyone walks around in garbage bags.
