Dutch Poll: Islam incompatible with Euro life

The Dutch may have learned a hard lesson or two from the past few years. Or they’re just a bunch of bigots.
Many adults in the Netherlands hold strong views on the way Muslims adapt to the European continent, according to a poll by Motivaction released by GPD. 63 per cent of respondents believe think Islam is incompatible with modern European life.
Why o why would the Dutch think such a thing?
In November 2004, controversial filmmaker Theo Van Gogh was murdered. Van Gogh directed a short motion picture that depicts a husband’s abuse on a Muslim woman. Death threats to Wilders and other former VVD members were left at the crime scene.
One of those former VVD members is Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who has had to live with 24 hour bodyguards ever since. She’s emigrating to the US to escape the constant threats to her life.
It could be that plus 9-11 plus the daily carnage emanating from the regions controlled by the religion of peace. Or the Dutch are just a bunch of unreasonable, knuckle-dragging Islamophobes.

A more accurate headline would be: “Islam incompatible with Human life.”

Beat me to it Speed. That is precisely what I was thinking when I saw on the headline.
On a more positive note, it appears that Zarqawi has perhaps indeed achieved what he worships: Death.
The media seems to be more ceratin that Zaquawi is dead than the previous 43 timnes that they reported it.
I hope it is true…. But I’m not going to hold my breath.

Ahhh, yes. Nothing like the smell of peace and tulips in the morning.

I wonder what al-Zaquawi thought when he walked into paradise yesterday and found the 72 virgins were all boys?
clyde on June 8, 2006 at 5:25 AM
63%? Then why is it that only 0.4% (was 0.8%) of the Dutch parliament feels the same way?
Kim Hartveld on June 8, 2006 at 7:07 AM
If Europe doesn’t remove it’s Islamic infestation, Europe is destroyed.

Kim Hartveld sez:

Because y’all ran Ayaan Hisri Ali out, Kim! Have you figured out who the last holdout against surrender is?

Thanks Pablo. If it weren’t for you, no one would explain my puns to me.

Hey Clyde, I’m sure he was dissapointed because he was hoping for goats.

“I don’t know, those who don’t actually practice the “religin of peace” by killing people don’t seem to bother anybody, and if we were all just a lot nicer to the ones that do practice it they would not be killing anyone either probably, it’s those darned practicing christians that are really incompatible with our progressive ideals” – Liberal Democrats

Very soon, the Islamic terrorists will find out their save haven is to stay out of the reach of US.
Where else they can get better protection than in France, Belgium, and Europe in general? The EU is absolutely committed to protect them from our bombs! Our planes cannot even fly into France.
If you were the terrorists, would you all just run to Europe now to hide?
I would.
This is simply survival.
Goodluck, Europe. You guys will need lots of luck.

Safe haven from the US Military? Try Yale University, for one.

I have Dutch friends, and they are slowly but surely coming around on the issue of Islamofascism. Before Van Gogh’s death nobody talked openly about the Muslim problem in the Netherlands. Now at least they are debating & discussing, and I don’t think that bodes for the “Religion of Peace”
in the Netherlands.

Maybe the metastases slowed. A cure is far fetched, but a treatment (education/awareness) is possible.
Islamafascisitis is a deadly disease, and a pandemic. If the Dutch can see this, there is some hope.
The headline could read:
.. Islam incompatible with any alternative life.

Dont know how I missed the top comment my first look thru.

Its what I started to write, but I eased off a little.

Ladies forgive me but perhaps one of you out there can answered this for me, because it’s really been bugging me.
All these middle eastern guys are not that good looking, at least to my heterosexual eye, and the few I’ve met don’t smell that great either (which may have been more the Taxi then them but, still!)
So, I suppose my question is, are they so good in the sack that you would demean yourself and accept 2nd class status for life just to sleep with them or is there some other attraction because, I’m really sorry, but I just don’t get it!

Dread Pirate Robers –
I’m not sure if you’re question was intended as sarcasm or seriously, but I’m going to give a serious answer. Many of the women who accept second class status were raised in Muslim families and cultures where that is the norm. When that is what you are raised with and surrounded by, it is perfectly normal to accept it. As for Western women who become involved with Muslim men, especially those who convert, I would not be surprised if some of them were from abusive backgrounds or have (and I hate to use this phrase) low self-esteem. If you already thing that you are second class, you will consciously or unconsciously seek out relationships that reinforce that belief.

nuchiao I was serious. This Lucianne.com posted article appears to support your conclusion re: Western female converts.

They prey on the weak, Islamafascisitis is a deadly disease, invading the body, mind, soul, even CANADA.

sorry dreadpirate, didnt mean to kill you off w/ deadpirate above.

It is unbelievable how a “religion” can ruin everything. How can muslims really believe that it is a peaceful religion when the Koran is a terrorist book. When being a muslim means giving up family, ethnicity, friends, etc. it is no better than a cult. Muslims want to rule the world and nothing else will do. They are taking over Europe because of the liberals in those countries. Now that the libs can see what is happening, the rules for entering a country are changed. Probably too little, too late. God help us all. We have to profile for a start and go from there to save us all.
