DUTCH DILEMMA

Here is a translation of a Dutch newspaper article in a comment on Little Green Footballs:

In the Netherlands the national flag is now banned on most schools. If a student wears the national flag of his own country he will be suspended or expelled from school. The reason for this is that this provokes the immigrants (the muslims) and therefore it is considered discrimination if you wear your country's flag in your own country. Even people who have an bumpersticker with the flag on their car are harassed and called a facist by the Muslims. Most schools also ban certain clothing like the Lonsdale brand and combat boots with white or red laces. This is also concidered a sign of racism. There are, of course, no restrictions for the immigrants on clothing.

One of the greatest tragedies of the post-WWII reconstruction of Europe was the wholesale abandonment of the historic Christian faith by the Dutch (and the majority of Old Europeans.)

The Dutch are dominated by an intolerant and immoral form of secular relativism that has earned them the dubious distinction of leading in the moral degeneration of Old Europe. Now the Dutch (read: French, British, Belgians, Germans, Swiss, Danes, Spanish, Italians, Swedes, Norwegians, etc.) are threatened by the distorted moral militancy of Islam

Like my ol’ Mammie used to say, “Son, if you don’t stand for something, then you will fall for anything.”
