No concern, of course, about the pall the murder of van Gogh has cast over the safety and security of non-Muslims in the Netherlands. No discussion of the implications of a Sharia murder in Amsterdam, with Qur'an verses pinned to the body. No honest discussion of the extent to which Dutch Muslims are attached to Sharia, and want an Islamic state in the Netherlands. Then they wonder why they have aroused the ire of "right wingers and xenophobes."
It seems that the Dutch must simply play the dhimmi. Any finger lifted in their own defense is just a provocation of the Muslim community.
From IslamOnline, with thanks to Ali Dashti:
THE HAGUE, January 19 (IslamOnline.net) – As Muslims throughout Europe celebrate Thursday, January 20, `Eid Al-Al-Adha (feast of sacrifice), Dutch Muslims brace themselves for an almost joyless festival in view of incessant harassments and bothering by right-wingers and xenophobes.Some one million Muslims in the Netherlands felt really hard done-by because of their religion after the November killing of filmmaker Theo Van Gogh by a Moroccan, following his insulting documentary about Islam.
Even before the murder, Dutch Muslims have been targeted by the extremist agenda of the influential right-wing parties.
Much to their annoyance, housing companies ordered all satellite dishes to be removed from balconies and rooftops just before the start of the most important feast in the Islamic calendar.
These dishes are, in effect, the one and only window for the Muslim community, mostly hailing from Moroccan, Iraqi and Turkish origin, on the Arab and the Muslim world.
This `Eid, they will be deprived of the pleasure of tuning in to a host of Arab and Islamic channels with fingers pointing at right-wing schemes.
“These companies have indeed cast a gloomy atmosphere over `Eid,” Mohammad Akshar, an employee at the Moroccan Cultural Society in Rotterdam, told IslamOnline.net Wednesday, January 19.

Since yesterday the Cobramuseam in Amsterdam is schowing a rather peculiar and controverial art exposion from artist Rachid Ben Ali. The Dutch-Moroccan artist made 40 pieces of art that express his feelings about Islam.
His works are controversial to say the least. He painted Imams having sex and having dung coming out of the mouths, naked men and women with Quranic texts on their body. All decorated with blood and violence.
Rachid Nen Ali produced these works after Theo van Gogh was murdered. The exposition can been visited until the sixth of March in the CobraMuseum.

New Dutch Muslim party might contest national poll
Preparations are underway to establish a new political party to represent Muslims in the Netherlands, it was reported on Thursday. A group of Muslims in Amsterdam plan to launch the Muslim Democratic Party (MDP) in May and contest local elections in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht, according to their spokesman Mohammed Jabri. He told news agency ANP that the group was also looking at contesting the local election in a city in the province of North Brabant where a large number of Muslims live. Depending on how well the party grows, Jabri said it might contest the next general election. But he also said the party was having some difficulty in attracting people with the expertise to lead the party.
The establishment of the MDP comes after the controversial Arab European League (AEL) was founded, originally in Antwerp, Belgium, by Dyab Abou Jahjah to fight what he said was discrimination against Muslims and Arabs. It now has a branch in the Netherlands and has forged a link with the MDP. But the MDP also wants to remain independent and is in discussions with well-known and less-well known Muslims to get the party off the ground in the big cities.
The announcement of the new party comes days after former Immigration and Integration Minister Hilbrand Nawijn said Muslims should assimilate rather than integrate into Dutch society. He said that Muslim schools should be banned in the Netherlands, even though the Constitution enshrines the right to establish religious schools. His remarks were not met by a public outcry.
"Much to their annoyance, housing companies ordered all satellite dishes to be removed from balconies and rooftops just before the start of the most important feast in the Islamic calendar."
They didn't get to watch TV while eating their dead lamb supper? Awww... the poor dears.
These dishes are, in effect, the one and only window for the Muslim community, mostly hailing from Moroccan, Iraqi and Turkish origin, on the Arab and the Muslim world.
The only "window?" Their isolated Islamic enclaves, ghettoes, are replicates of their former habitats. They can look out the windows of their fabricated Islamic domains and reassure themselves that they are surrounded by their fellow muslims, mosques, shops, and schools---their own little private Islamic edens. Short of returning to dar-al-Islam, what more could they need or want?
Since they insist upon congregating in segregated enclaves where only muslims are welcome, maybe the indigenous people in the host country should create their own "non-muslim" areas and make the separation official. Why should muslims have the right to erect fortresses within a host nation to keep the natives out, while at the same time selfishly exploiting the advantages and benefits of the host society? They should not be permitted to have it both ways.
It is soooooooooo sad that their pagan holiday has been ruined. I'm sure they will rise up in violent protest sooner or later. The perfect solution would be for them to return to their beloved Islamic homelands, but that isn't likely. Those pits of corruption, stagnation, and fanaticism can't seem to lure the immigrants back. I wonder why? It is apparent that muslims will not be satisfied no matter where they are, and that is why they should all be together on their own planet somewhere in a distant galaxy.
"Even before the murder, Dutch Muslims have been targeted by the extremist agenda of the influential right-wing parties."
Could they have been the "target" because of the shameless exploitation of the Dutch social safety net too many of them engage in and are still capable of purchasing satelitte dishes to keep in touch with their roots?
And, oh yes, Muslim Democratic Party?
Don't they know that democracy is "haram"?
Obviously, not all European Muslims chose to spend the Eid in the privacy of their homes in front of the TV with its window to dar-al-Islam.
Some of them gathered to demonstrate that dar-al-Islam is closer to you than you might have thought.
Imagine a huge shopping mall in a middle-size Northern European city in the darkness of a Nordic winter afternoon. The mall, its hallways, benches, squares, cafés and cantines packed with thousands of people. All women and girls wearing hijab, many are in full black burqas. Many of them pregnant women with five-six like-aged young kids at their both hands, all in full Islamic dress. Bearded men and young boys in long white Wahhabi-style shirts. All the shops around nearly empty, at the normally busiest time of the day. The few non-Muslim natives still around are looking baffled and scared, rushing towards the exit and leaving the mall.
A bad dream? No. Eid al-al-Adha in today’s Scandinavia.
It’s not just about building their own no-go ghettoes anymore, they are taking over the public space. Like in France, in the North of Europe there are more and more areas that European non-Muslims start avoiding – whole urban areas that are being taken over by Muslims, by demographic jihad and by conscious exposure of the presence of radical Islam. Ali Dashti is right. Europe will be hard to save without violence. But most of us are still in denial.
There is no way that muslims can live in peace with anyone- and that sometimes includes muslims as well.
We have put the survival of our civilisation on a bet, that muslims can be peaceful and tolerant. It is a bet that we are going to lose. That unfortunately is the sad situation we have brought ourselves to.
Our peace will never be regained till muslims are either expelled from the West, or exchanged for the terribly persecuted Christians in muslim nations. The last option is perhaps the least bloody of all, as other options are going to be bloody beyond imagination. And in the final analysis, the victor will implement it anyway.
Tsk, tsk.
Don't these Muslims know that TV is of the Devil?
Surely then, the Dutch government has merely helped them progress in their deen.
Muslims are having a bad time? Let's simply glance over the news, shall we?

There is more, lots more. This is just from the last few months, this has been going on for years! Gangrapes, murder, robberies. The list is endless. And they complain to us about satelite dishes? First of all, nobody is taking their dishes away. The housing corporations would like to install a central system so that you don't see those ugly dishes everywhere you look. Secondly, not one political party has made an issue about these dishes. Maybe one or two people have mentioned hatespeech coming from Arab channels but nothing has been done about that. These muslims are the most disingenous people I have ever seen or heard of.
