Yes, it looks as if Dutch people want to clamp down on the number of Islamic immigrants entering their country.

I would personally like to see a complete ban on immigration by Islamics.

Asians, Russians, Italians, Irish, English, Africans -- all have contributed mightily to this country with their industriousness and brilliance. What have the Islamics brought? Name one great Islamic industrialist or inventor. One.

I can name one: Sheikh bin Laden, Osama bin Laden's father.

Another fallacy of post modernism, cultural relativity. You are right on. Not all cultures have contributed to the richness and greatness of OUR nation. Message to those who don't measure up YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE, GO BACK TO YOUR SH*THOLE COUNTRY AND LIVE LIKE THE FILTH YOU ARE.

"I would personally like to see a complete ban on immigration by Islamics."

A complete ban would mean that people such as my next door neighbor's friend, the Shah of Iran's son, would be prevented from escaping from their oppressors (in theory). Likewise, the King of Afghanistan would be prevented from coming back here. NATO allies from Turkey would be prevented by that ban, as would be Iraqi's opposed to Saddam Hussein.

I couldn't support a complete ban.

Jordan's King Hussein and Afghanistan's new interim leader are both proving themselves to be civilized, contributing members of society, also. Mushariff of Pakistan seems to be playing ball, as well. Further, Bangladeshi's seem presently opposed to radical Islam.

The last time I checked, Salman Rushdie was a Muslim, too...
