Interesting, indeed. I expect it would make heads explode if given wider notice. (paging John Derbyshire to the white courtesy phone). A couple take-aways:
A culture suited to fighting with neighboring desert tribes in 600 AD is not well adapted to a modern, globalized, multicultural world.
Once you become infected with a poisonous meme, it is *very* hard to get rid of.
AMSTERDAM: With the collapse of the Dutch center-right government, the Netherlands may now drop some of its most eye-popping proposals aimed at Muslims and other immigrants and could soften its strong anti-immigration rhetoric.
A ban on burqa is less likely to go ahead after the government collapsed at the weekend.
The minority Liberal-Christian Democrat coalition's alliance with Geert Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV) fell apart when they could not reach agreement on crucial budget cuts. An election has been called for Sept.12. In return for Wilders support in Parliament, the government had proposed a number of laws, including bans on Muslim face veils and on dual nationality.
If it appears clear that there is no longer a parliamentary majority in favor of such proposals, they could soon be taken off the table, said Maurits Berger, professor of Islam in the contemporary West at Leiden University.
These policies were driven by PVV but also by this government in order to maintain their relationship with PVV. They have turned Holland into a pariah, Berger said. These are the legacy of the PVV.

Bet if there's an election support is even stronger for removing parasitic islam.
[Iran Press TV] Human rights groups say European countries are discriminating against Moslems, calling on institutions and governments to implement anti-discrimination laws.
The London-based human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you... group Amnesia Amnesty International criticized politicians for their lack of action on the growth of Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... in Europe.
The main problem in most countries is not a lack of anti-discrimination laws but their effective implementation, said John Dalhuisen, the body's director for Europe and Central Asia.
Discrimination is largely tolerated, Dalhuisen added, noting that religious discrimination against Moslems in Europe has become so commonplace that the society no longer deems it as improper.
In a new report released on Tuesday, Amnesty highlighted national laws or local rules which target Islamic customs; especially, in the fields of employment, education and daily life including wearing headscarves or face-covering Islamic veils.
The report entitled "Choice and Prejudice," also focused on the rise of political movements that target Moslems or Moslem practices in Belgium, La Belle France, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
"EU legislation prohibiting discrimination on the ground of religion or belief in the area of employment seems to be toothless across Europe, as we observe a higher rate of unemployment among Moslems," said Marco Perolini, Amnesia Amnesty International's expert on discrimination.
"Moslem women are being denied jobs, and girls prevented from attending regular classes just because they wear traditional forms of dress, such as the headscarf; men can be dismissed for wearing beards associated with Islam,"added Perolini.
Invited by Amnesia Amnesty International to share her experiences, Hajare Boujitat, a Belgian citizen, told news hounds how she was rejected in an interview, after she applied for an internship at a charity.
Boujitat was eventually offered the job, but "received a very cold welcome" on her first day at work.
"Many colleagues didn't want to speak with me, and some didn't even view me as a colleague and said quite bluntly they didn't want to work with me," she recalled.
Amnesty called on European governments to clear the negative stereotypes and prejudices against Islam, adding that "rather than countering these prejudices, political parties and public officials are all too often pandering to them in their quest for votes."
The call comes amid anti-Islamic remarks made by a number of European officials as well as acts of religious extremism against the growing Moslem population across the EU.
Last week, a member of Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel ...current chancellor of Germany. She was educated in East Germany when is was still run by commies, but in 1989 got involved with the growing democracy movement when the Berlin Wall fell. Merkel is sometimes referred to by Germans as Mom... 's conservative bloc, Volker Kauder, said Islam is not a part of the country's tradition and identity and so does not belong in Germany.

In UK the two nationalities that dont assimilate but are happy to collect welfare benefits without mixing with the natives are Pakistani and Somalian.Both have the highest numbers of unemployment.What do they add to country/economy?
The british born ones are the worse who usually choose jihad over jobs as they are lazy.

NGO's, where would we be without them!
Of course they never criticize Islam, that would be Islamophobic, don't ya know. A letter stamped by Iranian authorities in terms of how Muslims are to deal with Bahai
In the name of God.
All members of the Bahai cult are guilty as being infidels & are regarded as Najes (an islamic term for being inherently unclean/dirty), thus people are advised to avoid proximity in food & other things because of their contagious nature AND it is paramount that the believers combat the schemes & devious nature of this misled cult.
Jewish Congress fears says Israelis strike on Iranian nuke facilities will lead to 'dramatic increase of anti-Semitic, very violent attacks against Jews'
Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress, said his group is expected to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to discuss its concerns, but the chief responsibility for the safety of European Jews lay with their own governments.
He spoke at Tel Aviv University after the presentation of an annual report on worldwide anti-Semitic attacks. The report was issued before Israel's yearly memorial day for the 6 million Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust of World War II. The commemoration was beginning at sundown Wednesday.
The report said the number of attacks declined in 2011, but they were generally more violent than in previous years.
The European Jewish Congress is an umbrella organization that says it represents some 2.5 million Jews in Europe. The largest communities are in La Belle France and Great Britannia.
