A Dutch politician who has announced her bid for the chairmanship of the largest party in the polls, the Labour Party, was involved in the cover-up of a gang-rape five years ago.
Thirteen year old, retarded Tessa was brutally gang-raped for months by 14 Moroccans aged between 9 and 16 years old. She was threatened by a gun (that later turned out to be a fake).
After the police were informed of the crime, the District chairman, Annemarie Hoogland, immediately assembled a project group. But not to prevent further horrible crimes like this, but to keep people from knowing that such a thing had happened in their neighourhood.
She also saw to it that the 14 rapists got help, that they got courses where they learned how they could defend themselves. But not to Tessa. They did nothing for her. She was badly traumatised by her experience, and they did nothing for her for two years. Eventually, she attempted suicide and began to hurt herself. Then the parents decided that enough was enough and decided to inform the media of this tragedy.
This was between 1999 and 2001. All the media reported this.
But a few months ago, she announced that she would take a shot at the chairmanship of the Labour Party (the largest one in the polls). Now, the media refuse to write anything about what she has done to this country and that poor girl. The voting is already underway (between 19 and 31 of October), but people mostly don't know about what she has done. Fortunately, someone made a website about this.
What is your opinion about all this? And is there anyway we can get the American media to report something about this (surely that would break the silence here)? Maybe Drudge?
Note the answers for Lebanon. They've been ravaged by a civil war between Christians and Muslims which cost tens of thousands of lives, and the results are: Christans +/- 91/7, Muslims +/- 92/7 and Jews +/- 0/99 !!
Don't know if I should cry or laugh.
If you have talk radio there, that might be a good way to get the issue in front of the public and force the print media to deal with it.
She also saw to it that the 14 rapists got help, that they got courses where they learned how they could defend themselves.
The world has gone batty.
I have no idea about the legality of a political ad in that country. Call yourself "A Concerned Citizen" and make a political action group if needed. Don't say anything negative about Islam in your ad, of course. I'm saying that you could reprint a whole entire article as your ad. Cut out the article, paste it onto a piece of paper, and above it simply write "Is this what Annemarie thinks is justice?"....... or something like that.
Others that caught my eye:
- "Progressive/secular" Turkey having the lowest Christian favorability rating (at 21%).
- (Half Christian, half Muslim) Lebanon having a Jewish favorability rating of ZERO.
Actually, terrizing Christians is SOP in most Middle Eastern -Muslim countries (outside of Turkey). Several years ago I had a discussion about why the Catholic church hid the facts of the damage and desecration of the church of the Nativity in Bethelehem when Muslim terrorists took it over and why the Church in general, engaged in bashing the Israelis when the Israelis responded to terrorist attacks. He hemmed and hawed a lot but basically admitted that they went light on the Muslim/Islamofacists because they feared retaliation that would be taken on the Church and its members in predominantly Muslim countries. Basically, they participate in a coverup of anti-Christian abuse and atrocities because if attention were called to it - it would be much worse. Pretty sad - also a response to those that claim all we need to do is 'understand' the terrorists.
That is a informative chart you posted. Where did it come from?
I would not doubt that, but couldn't you make the ad informative of the crime but ethnically "neutral"? The crime alone was bad enough to focus attention on the case, the circumstances will become self evident on examination.

Dutch people aren't stupid but they are CORRUPT and absolutely IMMORAL!!
How about giving these people the full truth meneer Hans?
The rape was end of 1999 / beginning 2000. The police report was from about the 14th of february 2000. Mrs. Anne Marie Hoogland only went to work for the "stadsdeelraad" (part city council) in october of that year and as the NOVA report clearly states there was a damning report over the activities from the council regarding this case, the failures of childservices and an acknowledgement in this report about having failed the child and her parents, less than 5 months after mrs. Hoogland had started working there (april-may 2001).
The report also states that it was mrs. Hoogland personally (against advise from child-services et al) who worked in finding a place in an institution for this 15 year old somewhat retarded/mentally handicapped girl.
The decision to keep it secret was made (in all likelyhood when looking at the date of the police-report) by the previous head of the "stadsdeelraad" and not by mrs. Hoogland. Furthermore it was a decision that was made by the police, child-services and several more welfare organisations to protect the girl concerned (who at the age of 11 was so poorly that she was only able to speak 3 words and in a terrible state), to let the legal system prosecute the men involved and to stop potential unrest and problems in the neighborhood.
And as we know from last week sometimes things like this can lead to serious unrest and several fatalities (Birmingham UK). Furthermore the suspects were tried and convicted for their crimes. Another little thing, according to NOVA it was a mixed group of kids (both muslim and non muslims).
from your name I can only guess you are from Canada??
And you are calling us dutch corrupt and immoral??
Canada, the country where last year 23,534 were sexually assaulted?? That country? Compared to the Netherlands where in that same year 4,432 women were the victim of sexual assault??
And yes, Canada has roughly twice the number of people living in it compared to the Netherlands, but even if you multiply the number of sexual assaults in the Netherlands you will get less than 9,000 and that is a whole lot less than 23,500 women.
FYI, according to transparency.org who studies worldwide corruption in the world, the Netherlands is number 11 (number 1 being the least corrupt country in the world) and Canada is number 14 in that list, making Canada slightly more corrupt as the Netherlands.
