All the papers report this morning that the mayor of Amsterdam and a Dutch-Moroccan alderman were on the hit list of two suspected terrorists arrested in The Hague last week. The same two men were already suspected of targeting other public representatives, namely Geert Wilders and Ayan Hirsi Ali, two members of parliament known for their open criticism of Islam.

Triumph for terror The Somali-born Hirsi Ali collaborated with Theo van Gogh on a controversial film just before he was murdered two weeks ago. She is now under such tight police protection that "she can no longer do her work as a member of parliament", says the NRC HANDELSBLAD today in a commentary. The paper is deeply concerned about what this implies, because it means that the death threat addressed to her "does not only affect her but also the institution of which she is a member: the Lower House of the States General.. . Silence has been imposed on mp Hirsi Ali for sixteen days now. Every day this state of emergency continues is a triumph for terror."

Afraid The papers are full of examples of both growing unrest and of a counter-reaction to fear in the wake of recent developments in this country. We read in the VOLKSKRANT, for example, that there has been "a substantial increase" in the number of calls to an anonymous phone-in line for reporting suspected crimes and tips about "terrorists", weapons, or suspicious situations. At the same time we read of an explosion in calls to centers for reporting discrimination. The TELEGRAAF interviews the moderate spokesman of the Moroccan Mosques of Amsterdam and says, "Amsterdam Moslems are as afraid of extremists in their own community as they are of their non-believing fellow Amsterdammers".

The big Hippie Dream of the Socialist Utopia is starting to crash around them!!!The Tolarant Dutch are reaping what they have sown.We Americans have pulled their asses from the fire three times in recent history. I care not to shed any American blood or waste any riches for these fools.

These paranoid idiots have forgotten their own history during the last Muslim "Immigration" to Europe. Spewing their cynical mantras against the US while they parade around in their drug and sexual stupor. They demonstrate against war while their enemy murders and slaughters them. They can't turn to God, because they have rejected him also! Now they go to the slaughter bleating like sheep led by the Judas goat of Socialism.

One of these days, about a second before the dull blade slices across their collective throats these European Multiculturists will face the terrifying thought that the U.S. and Bush were right all along.
