Holy crap! Am I reading this right?
A muslim who 'gets it' better than anyone in the Dutch (or American) government does?
I must have read it wrong..
Can we get the rest of the Muslims a drink of what he is drinking?
This guy better watch his back, though.
strangely enough there is a Dutch minister, a member of their government, that wants Sharia to be the law of the land If he can find enough lemmings to put it in place.
This man is marked for death for sure....
This sounds like the French model of active government interference with religion. I wonder if such interference thus actually promotes Islamic extremism rather than the reverse, which might allow more moderate strands of the Islamic religion to come to the fore.
I don't recall doing any drugs today.
Incredible!!! How bad things have gotten!
A muslim does a better job of defending Dutch values than the Dutch themselves!
Please tell me we're not going to follow in their footsteps.
I found the original article. It's in this hilarious German dialect they call Dutch. And guess what...the guy's an engineer. No wonder he's a decent person :D

We're not going to follow in their footsteps.
Because we actually have values, the Dutch don't defend their values because they have none. That's the price of "moral relativism", if all moral systems are equal then why bother defending one set of values over another?
There seems to be a lot of this lately.
It's a good thing. The longer we attempt to positively engage Muslims and promote democracy in the Middle East the braver these guys will get.

One can only hope.
Maybe you are. Look for what he says in arabic. It might be a different thing.

Must be the way the stars are aligned today: two posts like this PLUS the Pope speaks plainly about Islam in Germany a day or so ago. Amazing. How did any of this EVER see the light of day with the MSM in charge?
"Look for what he says in arabic. It might be a different thing."
Possibly.
But from the statements I read in the article, I don't think he's 'kidding' around.
But, you never know.
