Tiny Minority of Extremists Alert. "More Potential Terrorists in Netherlands Now than Last Year," from NIS News, December 20:
THE HAGUE, 20/12/08 - The estimated number of "potentially radical" Muslims in the Netherlands has increased. Home Affairs Minister Guusje ter Horst said on Friday that there are up to 3,000, 500 more than she reported in September 2007.
Ter Horst sent the Lower House the Trend Analysis 2008, which analyses left-wing, right-wing but primarily Muslim radicalism. The "numerous measures taken in recent years" are starting to bear fruit, according to the minister. For example, the number of sermons in mosques that include incitements to violence and hatred has decreased, according to the report, although no figures are given to back up this claim.
"After a period of polarisation and alienation, the past year seems to indicate some moderation," the report stated. "Society has become more resistant to extremist Muslim influences," the press release issued by Ter Horst stressed. In the full report, however, this sentence is followed by the sentence: "But the radical, anti-democratic standpoint is still given the opportunity to present itself as the only true form of Islam."
Only a "very small proportion" of the Muslim community is turning radical, the analysis states. An estimated 25,000 to 30,000 Muslims in the Netherlands are susceptible to radical ideas. These include "2,500 to 3,000 potential radicals". Last year, the estimate was 2,500.
But it can't be anything rooted in Islamic teachings. It's got to be something else, right?
Ter Horst also sent the MPs the latest analysis of the terrorism threat for the Netherlands. "Internationally operating jihadist networks still include the Netherlands and its foreign interests among their preferred targets," said the report, drawn up by the national counter-terrorism coordinator NCTb. The film Fitna by MP Geert Wilders, released on 27 March, "is still the main reason for this".
Right. And before that, there was no problem with "radical Islam" within the Netherlands, and no jihadists had their eye on the country.
"It is expected that the Netherlands will remain in focus for jihadists for the time being. The attention of jihadists is also strongly concentrated on individuals whom they hold responsible for 'insulting' Islam. These developments keep the level of threat at substantial, which means that the likelihood of an attack in the Netherlands or against Dutch interests is realistic."
And just how is this news???
When the non-muslims in eurostan finally stand up and rid themselves of those trying to overthrow the republics in europe will they once again know true freedom...
"The attention of jihadists is also strongly concentrated on individuals whom they hold responsible for 'insulting' Islam."
Just more of the “Say Islam is a religion of peace or I’ll kill you” mentality.
“These developments keep the level of threat at substantial, which means that the likelihood of an attack in the Netherlands or against Dutch interests is realistic."
Realistic? I would say it’s guaranteed, Islam being what it is. This time next year it will be even higher. And so on and so on until the black flag flies. If no one is willing to fight for “it,” it is lost.
Go Geert!
Well I heard how the Muslims in Europe are breeding like rabbits which is nothing new but I find it hard to believe they increased that much in such a small time span, unless their gestation period is a total of five minutes from start to finish.
Maybe the Netherlands should shut their doors to foreigners.
I wonder, what was his first clue?
I wonder if the Dutch, or any other Western nation, knowing what they know now, would let Muslims into their country if they could turn the clock back 50 years and see their future? Probably, because political correctness and multiculturalism trumps all.
An estimate of 2,500 last year.
An estimate of 25,000 to 30,000 this year.
What will it be next year? An estimate of 250,000 to 300,000?
They say kill the messenger to avoid hearing the message. Geert Wilders is the messenger, he is not the message.
Duh, birth + time + islam = jihad.
No matter what the true number of potential jihadist's, there are more than that.
Over a billion actually...That's a lot of potential...
An estimated 25,000 to 30,000 Muslims in the Netherlands are susceptible to radical ideas. These include "2,500 to 3,000 potential radicals". Last year, the estimate was 2,500.
At what point does someone who is "susceptible" become "potential"? The two terms seem synonymous. That means Netherlands has ten times more radicals than they will admit.
It would seem Islam's best ally in achieving its goals in the West are Western elites, be they in government, academia or the media. What is most stunning is the continued refusal by the powers that be in the West to see Islam for what it really is------a rapacious, intolerant, supremacist ideology. Holy hell, this ain't rocket science here. Could it be that the elites are really dopes? Nah, that's not possible, is it?

These are the ones that the security services know about. The number is more likely to be atleast ten times larger. Even greater if one includes the enablers.
But it is reassuring to know that the minister considers this a minority. Would the minister consider a guerilla force numbering some 30,000, encamped in the heart of her country, and intent on destroying the Netherlands, just a tiny minority. For a 30,000 guerilla force in a small country, this is a very large force.
If one considers the Jihadis in our midst as a guerilla force, then I think we begin to see the size of the problem we have created.

At least, the Netherlands should show these foreigners the door.
It is too late for Netherlans. Netherlands is going Muslim irreversibly. Short of a civil war, nothing can prevent Netherlands from turning Muslim.
