Minister Welcomes Sharia In Netherlands If Majority Wants It
THE HAGUE, 13/09/06 - Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner considers the Netherlands should give Muslims more freedoms to behave according to their traditions. Muslims refusing to shake hands is fine with him. And Sharia law could be introduced in the Netherlands democratically, in the minister's view.
Muslims have the right to experience their religion in ways that diverge from Dutch social codes, accordign to the Christian democrat (CDA) minister. He thinks Queen Beatrix was very wise not to insist on a Muslim leader shaking hands with her when she visited his mosque in The Hague earlier this year.
Integration Minister Verdonk did previously scold an imam who would not shake her hand. Without directly referring to this incident, Donner considers "a tone that I do not like has crept into the political debate. A tone of: 'Thou shalt assimilate. Thou shalt adopt our values in public. Be reasonable, do it our way'. That is not my approach".
Donner strongly disagrees with a recent plea by CDA parliamentary leader Maxime Verhagen for a ban on parties seeking to launch Sharia (Islamic law) in the Netherlands. "For me it is clear: if two-thirds of the Dutch population should want to introduce the Sharia tomorrow, then the possibility should exist," according to Donner. "It would be a disgrace to say: 'That is not allowed!'."
Donner makes his remarks in an interview in a book entitled, 'The country of hate and anger' (Het land van haat en nijd). The book was written by journalists Margalith Kleijwegt and Max van Weezel of weekly magazine Vrij Nederland. Minister Verdonk will be presented with the first copy today.
Dang! Reminds me of that movie....'Chronicles of Riddick'.....CONVERT or FIGHT! LOL!
"Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner considers the Netherlands should give Muslims more freedoms to behave according to their traditions. "
Such as using women and children for human shields, blowing up buildings full of people, and relieving people of their heads..
The new Donner party - rather than resorting to cannibalism, they are resorting to suicide.
Yikes!
A damn fool hell bent on cultural suicide.
There is a real reason they don't shake hands.
Clever!
The Koran forbids the use of toilet paper?
One hand for eating, and one hand for...
Amazing. We saved their butts from Naziism, Stalinism, and Communism. But they willingly give in to islamo-fascism...........
He is indeed a fool.
There is a movement to remove this man from office.
I hope they will succeed
Amazing; Evolution of the "better Red than dead" attitude in Europe.
Do they think they'll be treated any better if they show support now? Don't they read history at all? Apparently not...
Will they dedicate an existing stadium for stonings, beheadings, whippings, or will the islamofascists insist on the country building them a new one for their revolting sharia practices?
I cannot wait to hear how the Dutch will want to handle this aspect of giving in to the invaders. Soon they will become victims of the invaders and wonder 'how could this happen to us? We are such nice civilized folks'.
The Dutch, famous for their never relenting fight against the angry North Sea, have surrendered without firing a shot to the sea of radical Izlamomuzzie thuggery. Muzzie tulips and chocolate will be what is left.
That's the exact same, infamous Dutch cowardice, that made Holland cooperate with the nazi occupation forces of WORLD WAR TWO.
For some reason this reminds me of the movie "Mars attacks"
