Reader comment on: The Netherlands to Abandon Multiculturalism

Submitted by Dr. Sammy Youssef, Mar 9, 2012 21:20

If you go to Saudi Arabia, you are expected to observe their laws, traditions, and values. You will be severely punished if the authorities find a copy of the Bible or alcohol in your possession. Churches are not allowed to be built. Come Christmas time, you cannot buy a Christmas card because no shop is allowed to stock them. Those who do run the risk of gaining the attention of the "Promoting Virtues and Prohibiting Vice Authority", staffed by the most backwards religious zealots found anywhere, and penalties are stiff indeed. Women are expected to cover their hair with scarves. The list goes on and on. The same dress restriction applies in Afghanistan, Pakistan and many other parts of the Islamic world.

Christian minorities in those countries are forced to conform to Muslim ways. Laws of inheritance (which discriminate against females) are forcibly applied to non-Muslims. Christian churches are torched and those that are dilapidated are denied permits to conduct repairs (with the exception of Saudi Arabia, simply because no churches are allowed to exist there in the first place).

Good for you, Dutch! I hope the rest of Europe - indeed, the rest of the West - will learn a lesson or two from the courageous government of the Netherlands.
