So far as I know, there are no troops from The Netherlands in Iraq, and the country has consistently favored immigration from Islamist nations. Yet they still suffer Jihadist terrorism.

There are 1100 Dutch Royal marines in south Iraq.

Dutch newspapers reported that police are worried that the threats — by telephone calls and e-mails — were evidence of a co-ordinated attempt by Islamic radicals to target politicians seen as “enemies of Islam”.
:rolleyes: Now they start worrying. I hope the next target will be Balkenellende. Then at least some good will come from this.

Nice the way you put "the country has consistently favored immigration from Islamist nations." Is that ignorance, or plain racism?
And no one is in favor of terrorists. We just differ on who those terrorists are, and how to fight them.

Not surprised. Especialy after the Van Gogh incident.

We have a guy from Belgium and he says that depending on where you are; you take your life in your hands if you start saying bad things about Islam. He also said that some fundis hastle women about not having the head covered. I think they were Nigerians......

Ayaan Hirsi Ali got death threats for years now. As did Theo van Gogh. But untill he was murdered the officials tried to ignore it. Covering it with the blanket of multi cultural love.
