No, of course not. I can only speak from experience with the people I know and I don’t pretend to speak for all Dutch – heaven forbid. It’s just as annoying as people who think you’re a walking encyclopedia on everything Indian…

It so sad that Mr.Van Gogh was killed for fighting for women rights.

I guess your associates are not cartoonists or film makers with the last name Van Gogh.

Really ? A peek at recent Dutch news says otherwise. The Dutch government and PM seem to be taking him rather seriously:

Dutch warn EU of possible anti-Koran video backlash Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said on Friday he had warned European leaders of a possible backlash against European interests over a Dutch video which criticises the Koran.The Netherlands raised its national risk level to “substantial” earlier this month ahead of the film’s release.http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSL14923754

Wilders would have been ignored if his film was on Jesus or the Roman Catholic church. By both the Dutch & Catholics the world over.

I have friends in Denmark and Holland and they told me that those countries are now started to deal with problems of the Islamists.

It other countries like Sweden and Norway where I would be more worried. Hopefully the leaders of these countries will see the light, before it too late.

This is so cliche since most Americans (including some homosexuals) are against homosexual marriage.

The nuclear family, one man one woman and children are the foundations of any society.

We don’t care what they do in Europe. They will son be overrun by Islamists anyway.

No one is prevented from learning about the theory of evolution.

If you need sex toys so badly, you can get them online and mail-order.

Yeah see…the USA might be better than, say Somalia or even India, but the freedom is down the drain…what with certain states’ ban on sex toys, the fact that two people of the same gender who are in love can’t get married while sham hetero weddings take place without any problem, the fact that a pharmacist can refuse the MAP/Plan B because of religious conviction, the fact that there are certain prominent groups with political clout lobbying for the teaching of Creationism or the abolishment of evolution teachings altogether, the anti-science stance of the Republican party, the fact that atheists are more hated than Muslims, the sky-high teen pregnancy rates because of a government that promotes abstinence above safe sex…I could go on and on…
