AMSTERDAM MPs from across the political spectrum have reacted with surprise to the suggestion by Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner that Islamic Law could one day be introduced in the Netherlands.
Sharia could come via democracy: Dutch minister Donner stands by Sharia Law remarks Labour (PvdA), the largest opposition party, said Donner had gone too far. MP Jeroen Dijsselbloem said his party rejected the acquiescence implicit in Donner's remarks. The Minister should be expending his energies to oppose the discriminatory concepts in Sharia Law rather than suggesting it could be a part of Dutch democracy, he said.
Right-wing Independent MP Geert Wilders warned he will table a motion of no confidence in Donner if he doesn't retract his words.

The Justice Minister should resign. He apparently hasn't considered the ramifications of Sharia law (stoning of women who commit adultery; hand amputations for thieves; subjugation of women, for want of a better term; and so on).
I take it the women can't co-sign?
What a great idea.
Replace a modern constitution with a 6th century version.
People are not so stupid as to walk into the firepit. I believe that history shows us that there will come a point where ethnic europeans will recognize their dwindling influence, and come to resent the muslims who are making it so. Perhaps one nation will fall (Netherlands?) but that will serve as a wakeup call to the others. Before it is too late, while the governments and the armories are controlled by the indiginous peoples, a nationalistic movement will strike up. Once this takes root, the enlightened liberal elite societies of Europe will crumble and be replaced with forced deportations and/or ethnic cleansing on a massive scale. This cycle has repeated itself in Europe for centuries, usually with the jews getting the short end. This time it will be muslims. Kosovo was not an aberation, it was perfectly consistent with the traditions of european history.
The trouble this time will be that unlike those prior massacres, which were taken out against a peaceful people who made easy targets, the muslims will have the numbers and the will to fight, as well as support from wealthy foreign nation states. This isnt going to come out pretty. I'm not sure who will win out in the end, but I'm guessing the slaughter will be substantial before it's done. I imagine a western European future which resembles the Bosnia conflicts coming within a generation. So sad.
