Oh, now, really. Old Europe was famous for fighting fascism with fascism by another name (communism). They'll enact laws in the name of fighting terrorism that would make our Patriot Act look like child's play.

The folks in Old Europe wont' need to enact new, more restrictive laws ~ they already have them. What they need to do is enforce them.

Agreed. And they will lump Christians into the same category as Muslims if they insist on truly believing the Scriptures, especially regarding abortion and homosexuality.

No. Political correctness is what makes the Patriot Act so miserable in the US. Airport screeners only search blond white women. The Netherlands is small enough that they can turn on a dime compared to the US. If political correctness pops up in regard to their new laws it can be ridiculed mercilessly an quashed before it makes a mockery of their new laws. I suspect that it will be only Muslims who are inconvenienced by the new attitude of the Dutch.
