THE Netherlands has long been Europe's most permissive society — everything from window-shopping in Amsterdam for scantily clad hookers (50 to 80 Euros for 15 to 30 minutes) to hashish aroma in marijuana-smoke-filled cafes.
The government and the sex workers union protect some 30,000 women. The pimps are landlords and the aging prostitutes are quickly replaced with a steady influx from the former Soviet republics and East European countries.
A Dutch brothel chain is suing the government for failing to green-light the "Yum Yum Caviar Club" at Schiphol Airport "to cater to stressed travelers in transit." The government responded that plans for an airport bordello were on hold pending new building and space in the departure areas.
It was such Dutch tolerance, pragmatism and guilt about the country's colonial past that allowed hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Muslim Indonesia (a Dutch colony from the 17th century until World War II) to flood into tiny Holland. Today, Muslims are a majority among children under 14 in the Netherlands' four largest cities.
There are 1 million Muslims (6 percent of the population) now living in Europe's most crowded small country. Some 30,000 new Muslims arrive every year. They tend to live among themselves, with their own schools, mosques and restaurants. Most are horrified by what they view as sacrilegious in their own religion. Their imams speak no Dutch and know nothing of the Netherlands' history and culture.
Western Europe as a whole gets about half a million new Muslims a year. Most make their way from sub-Saharan and North Africa, illegal immigrants smuggled by boat to Spain and Italy where they are free to travel with impunity to the rest of Europe. Thus, Europe's Muslim population has doubled to 20 million in the last 10 years.

This time lets let Europe fight it out among themselves to the finish...no American involvement for we are never appreciated when we pull them out of the ditch time and time again.
They should just add it to Schipol's Mercury Hotel. As a room service option.
"Damm I have a 3 hour hold-over in Amsterdam. What can I do for 3 hours?"
bump for later read.
There is indeed a war coming, and it won't be very civil.
It's already begun in earnest:

Isn't it amazing how the Dutch were conquered without a shot being fired?
These idiots have lost their entire country and "culture" (such as it was) by inviting the enemy in by the boatload.
(smoke another joint while the world passes you by, Dutchy)
They didn't even have the honor of waving a white flag (made in France)
What a stupid waste of an entire cultural civilization.
Muslims must be rolling around on the grass laughing their arses off.
We should catch any remaining Dutch and put them in a zoo. Maybe we can breed them back and put them back into the wild someday.
Woe is me. What's the world going t do without woden shoes and tulips? And fat little chocolate eating boys with their fingers in the dyke? (that doesn't sound right dore some reason) What is the witch with the ginger bread house going to do without anymore hansel and grettals? Somehow i don't see Islamic children taking over the roll. they'll chop of the itches head and dance in the blood.
And, I'm going to miss those excellent machinists Holland used to produce.
what will they do??? Iran with "the" bomb and a missile to get it there.
You know, this would almost be funny if it weren't happening here too......Se habla Espanol?
Anything you want -- but I bet you can't smoke a cigarette afterwards.
I'm guessing you haven't been to Holland recently.
The Dutch have not been conquered, despite your defeatist statement.
These idiots have lost their entire country and "culture" (such as it was) by inviting the enemy in by the boatload. (smoke another joint while the world passes you by, Dutchy)
Did you know the Dutch have lower rates of marijuana and heroin use than the US?
They didn't even have the honor of waving a white flag (made in France) What a stupid waste of an entire cultural civilization.
You seem in an awful hurry to bury one our best allies in Iraq and the WOT.
It's like the Romans and the Visigoths all overagain.
Hansel and Gretel was a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. They were German
From Europe, mostly slummers are recruited for the work of the Islamofascists in Iraq, I'm sure they have things set up for the Europeans if the Europeans really piss them off. This is what these European intelligence chiefs are testifying about. Again, its up to America and the better among their kind in other places, to do the heavy lifting in the defense of civilization.
We are winning the war on terror, but this column points out that it is like all other wars, a war of attrition. The Islamofascist side must have drawn lines that we don't cross at this time the same way that we didn't finish Saddam's regime off in 1991. Sometimes the considerations at any given time turn out to be overly cautious and sometimes they don't. That's just the nature of the world, and the ocean that the captain of the ship of state has to navigate. Thank God that ours has a pretty reliable moral compass. I do.
