We have been too tolerant," says Joyce de Witt, 39, an office worker from Diemen, a town south of Amsterdam. "We need tougher immigration policies. For 20 or 30 years, we have let things slip and let extremists live under our noses.

He says: "I get verbal abuse in the streets now from white Dutch ladies and that would never have happened before. Islam is a peaceful religion, but now we Moroccan Muslims have to work much harder for acceptance."

Of course it never happened before, they realize it isn't about multiculturalism,it's survival.

"The Netherlands, with its reputation for liberalism, tolerance and freedom of speech, has never been so divided. Since the murder of the filmmaker Theo van Gogh by a radical Muslim a fortnight ago, the country's 30-year-old experiment in tolerant multi-culturalism has begun to fail".

Hello???? Sound familiar? WAKE UP AMERICA!

The islamofascists take the path of least resistance.

They go to countries that are vulnerable and countries that welcome them - no questions asked. Then from the inside begin to spread their religion of "peace" and multiply. Their goal: convert the infidels or kill them with glee.

And they are doing it right here; under our very noses with liberals helping them every d*mn step of the way. Liberals hate this country, and everything it stands for, every bit as much as the terrorists do - and they all want to silence people like us.

Nonsense. Tolerance will solve all your problems. Just ask any liberal. So use more of your famously legal drugs, buy some of your famously available hardcore porn, kill some old people, and enter into a homosexual "marriage". Things will turn out just fine. Really.

"Islam is a peaceful religion."

Saying it doesn't make it so!

When the tolerant are tolerant of the intolerant the tolerant shouldn't be suprised when the intolerant stop tolerating them.

I hope we see the irony that we will be the Muslim and Mexican states of Azatlan in 10 years with our current politicians.

My Dutch friend now 61 years old said that "growing up in Holland you knew that many of your peers would be forced to live abroad when they were grown because it was a small country". I don't think at the time that immigration was figured in. If their immigration policy's had been tighter all these years there might have been room for the Dutch in their own homeland after all.

If there was a silver lining to nations like Poland being behind the Iron Curtain, it's that as a result, they were spared from the same fate of having mass influxes of Muslim immigrants. I can only hope that now they are part of the EU, they won't be forced to change their immigration policies. Somehow I don't think the Poles will be as "tolerant" as the Dutch towards the Muslims.

The article states that the population is 6% Moslem; At least it's not higher; wake up call, many Americans have been complacent even in the aftermath of 9-11.

Too much news to keep up with, that same Telegraph page has a link to a Moslem crisis in China! I don't know if that has even been posted on FR.

"Muslim conflict now hits China as 148 die in ethnic violence
By Damien McElroy in Zhengzhou
(Filed: 14/11/2004)

A convoy of military lorries roared along the dirt track leading to a fertile valley of rice paddies and ridges of garlic shoots in central China. Green-uniformed soldiers equipped with razor-wire and cannons stared out blankly at Chinese police, who stood to attention as they passed through a checkpoint.

They were heading for two neighbouring villages, Nanren and Weitang, which have co-existed peacefully for centuries - but where, earlier this month, martial law was abruptly declared after a row over a traffic accident escalated into pitched battles that left 148 people dead.


The soldiers' mission was to prop up the facade of ethnic harmony, constructed by the country's Communist dictatorship over the past 55 years but dramatically undermined by the eruption of conflict between Hui Muslims and their Han Chinese neighbours. The troops sealed off the villages to prevent other militants coming to the aid of their fellow Muslims and stop the fighting spreading across China.
