Wake-up Call?


I know for sure that you, Oh America will go under;
I know for sure that you, Oh Europe will go under;
I know for sure that you, Oh Holland, will go under;
I know for sure that you, Oh Hirsi Ali, will go under;
I know for sure that you, Oh unbelieving fundamentalist, will go under.



From the Economist:


The hard-hitting policies of the current immigration minister, Rita Verdonk, have been adjusted to respond to such fears. They include such measures as limiting the influx of immigrants by arranged marriages and making more effort to integrate newcomers into Dutch society, for example by compelling them to learn the Dutch language.

Many immigrants say the government's aim is full assimilation. They attack what they see as a lack of knowledge and respect for their own cultural and social norms....


Yeah, cultural norms like using brutal murder to silence critics. Wake-up wood-shoed people. You can't protest terrorists back into inactivity.

So terrorists are immigrants?

Well, actually yes. The terrorists that have been arrested for murdering Van Gogh were Moroccan radical islamists. That's not to say that Islamic radicals won't be able to convert some native Dutch citizens to the dark side, and it certainly doesn't mean that all immigrants are radical islamists.
