#1 Martians don't do Islam, and he was a refugee from the Dry Belt.

#2 Yeah, I hear Lincoln was a Muslim too. But before he could tell anybody John Wilkes Booth showed up and...you know.

#4 Y'all realize, I'm sure, why this claim is being made - i.e., it 'justifies' the islamic (re)colonization of the Netherlands that is in advanced stages and against which a few brave Dutch are speaking out.

#5 This claim is bull on so many levels. They were dangerous religious times between Catholoics and Protestants and he'd have been burned in seconds if he chose a third option and lost the support of his family, friends, people, country and neighbors.

The historian is a liar or a fool. I suggest the former as he's managed to get a ton of publicity despite the damage it might do to the Netherlands viza ve Islamic claims.

#6 Ummmm.... guys:

The report first appeared on the De Speld website, which at first glance looks like an internet news site. Jochem van den Berg confirms that it was indeed written by the site. The historian and the research don't exist. "We wanted to start off a discussion about Dutch identity. By way of satirical reflection we wrote the article from a Judeo-Christian and Islamic background."

#7 That still doesn't mean Lincoln wasn't a Muslim. Or gay...

#8 King Billy was a gentleman
He wore a watch and chain
The Pope he was a beggarman
And came from Castlemagne

#9 OOps. Hit wrong key. Try again.

King Billy was a gentleman
He wore a watch and chain
The Pope he was a beggar man
And came from Castlemaine
King Billy had an Orange cat
That sat upon the fender
And every time it caught a mouse
He shouted, "no surrender!"

#10 A few things come to mind...

- it will be accepted as fact by muslim scholars & holy men, who will add that to the long list of supposed converts with which they woe the rubs (remember, it's legits, it's from scholars and wa spublished online), just see how muslim media reacted to this, they bask in that.

- I can't imagine muslim scholars, even secular ones, writing one of the califes as a Christian convert - proving once again that multiculturalism & Diveristy is a one-way street (or a single-edged sword to fall upon, if you wish). The whole exercise is unhealthy and fits well into the "cultural pessismism" of the Enlightened Elites.

- And, apart from muslims (see first item), I have no doubt that many of th epeople who got caught in that "internet wildfire" were ethnic dutch... and the simple idea that someone of dutch heritage can even think this is remotely possible is not a sign of gullibility, it's a sign that the dutch collective mind is under siege from islam, and that for many, they already interiorized the fact that they have lost. Would any pre-60's dutchman, even with the internet, would have thought such an enormity was remotely possible? No. But 2008 dutchmen could, because they already have lost the battle of memes, just like so many french, german, and americans.

#11 Just like Charles Martel, John of Austria, Jan Sobieski and Moshe Dayan. All of them were practicing Muslims.
