Why the Dutch turned against Muslim immigration
 When she and her husband bought their house on the water in IJburg, the real estate agent didn't tell her the neighborhood would become the arena of what she calls a "social experiment" -- an effort by the city government to put middle class homeowners and social housing renters in one innovative urban development. The immigrants started moving in, brought over from suburbs where their cheap housing was demolished; 30% of IJburg housing turned out to be earmarked for the social renters.Lammers said, "We have to share the gardens in some blocks, elevators in others. So people started experiencing bad things -- cars scratched, elevators urinated in. There's now a mosque on my street, a radical one." (The mosque's Facebook page, removed since locals complained to the authorities, contained references to a radical preacher and to Islamic Brotherhood, an organization some countries consider terrorist). Some of Lammers immigrant neighbors soon found out what she was writing on her blog, and Moroccan youths started yelling "cancer whore" at her on the street, she says. Posted by: ryuge 2017-02-24 |
