Moroccan-Born Mayor Dispenses Tough Love to Immigrants in Amsterdam, Netherlands

I wrote earlier about the recommendations made for countering islamist terrorism in Europe. But as this case in Amsterdam shows, it is not easy, even for one of their own, to push this minority to integrate further. And for people who think that this is islamophobia, do recall the success of other non Christian, non white minorities to integrate into European society. Then again, Jews were pretty much as much integrated as possible, and still ended up with the Holocaust, and despite huge attempts to stop it happening again,, the level of anti semitic attacks is way up there again in so many European countries. And the tragic irony is that because it seems to be linked to developments in Palestine and Lebanon, the attacks are being carried out by the Muslims, the very same people who are facing discrimination. ah! what a tangled web we weave.
