Muslim leaders in Holland say the film is offensive. “It really is a provocation aimed to limit immigration. It has nothing to do with the rights of homosexuals. Even Dutch people don’t want to see that,” said Abdou Menebhi, the Moroccan-born director of Emcemo, an organisation that helps immigrants to settle.

I doubt it is anywhere near as offensive as the murder that Islam promotes.

I would love to see the United States adopt a similar policy.

TWO MEN kissing in a park....

I guess I'd better not emigrate to Holland. I doubt they'd like my reaction.

This'll go over like a fart in church, all right.

Critics complain that people living in the mountains of Morocco or rural villages in Pakistan will not be able to make the long journey to cities for Dutch language lessons. According to Instituut Oranje, a Dutch language school, someone with a low level of education would require 250 hours of tuition, costing £1,200, to pass the tests.

Hmmm. Maybe that's the point. Why would Holland really need people from the mountains of Morocco after all?

"I would love to see the United States adopt a similar policy."

I would not. The western world has to be careful how they respond to islamofacists. A test like this would quickly evolve into list of political correctness without which you can't enter the country. Real terrorists will just lie on the test..unless they hooked them up to electrodes, I suppose.



"TWO MEN kissing in a park and a topless woman bather are featured in a film that will be shown to would-be immigrants to the Netherlands.

The reactions of applicants — including Muslims — will be examined to see whether they are able to accept the country’s liberal attitudes. "

It would be better if the Europeans grew some gonads again and just stated they weren't going to allow any more immigrants into their countries that aren't interested in assimilating at the least, or follow a religion that states they will overthrow your system of beliefs and laws and render you second class or dead. What's wrong with saying "no" or "no more." Huh?

The total bill of £1,495 — including £55 for a preparatory test pack and DVD and £240 for the exam — makes the process unaffordable for many.

I think the Dutch might be saying: "If you don't want to learn our language and culture, and if you can't afford $3,000 to accomplish that, perhaps some other country would be a better place for you."

I wish we had the guts to do it.

The Dutch get a spine. This is excellent news. Maybe the Canadian government can take a cue.

[Gritty]

Muslims being Muslims, why wouldn't they simply cheat on the test?

[CzarNicky]

... and a topless woman bather are featured in a film that will be shown to would-be immigrants ...

I would have no problem with that if the woman were hot.

[William Terrell]

Might catch the first batch, but the second and subsequent batches will have gotten the word. . .

I think the Dutch approach isn't all that bad.
Think of it as a filter. It will reduce the number of uneducated hard core unemployable that enter. Face it a lot of immigration to Europe from those countries is get into the 'free goodies' welfare line provided by the generous European social net. Remember it is so generous even without Muslim immigration, Europe has a large non-working and 'never-even-to-try-to-get-a-job' class. Think Onslow from 'Keeping Up Appearance'! Where Onslow is even too lazy to assign blame to 'society' many others aren't! (Many skinheads come from this under-class!) Add Muslim religious barbarism and its a very explosive mixture.
If the Dutch can use this to dampen the flow more power to them !

Muslims can travel throughout the EU without papers...so instead of going to Holland, they'll emigrate to France, Germany, and Belgium, the UK, Ireland.

You want the United States to impose an immigration policy where people are required to accept the gay activist agenda and ideology and don't have freedom of thought, speech or religion as far as homosexual activity is concerned? I think that unjust.

Famile Arslan, 34, an immigration lawyer of Turkish origin, agreed. “I have lived here for 30 years and have never been witness to two men kissing in the park.

Wow.. she really must not get out much in Holland! I wonder if shes even ever gone out to party during Koninginnedag...
