lawyer for the sisters, said the incident…was a clear case of discrimination… the Cantonal Court found the school guilty and awarded the pair 500 euros each in compensation
The court capitulated to brazen Islamic supremacist parents — posturing as victims as usual — and unjustly enforced a penalty upon the school for offending the sensibilities of the Muslim children. Rather than teaching their children about integration and assimilation, these Muslim parents imparted to their children a sense of victimhood, entitlement and superiority over infidels.
Islamic supremacists are becoming increasingly emboldened because of Western weakness. All they need to do is pull out the words “discrimination,” “Islamophobia,” and “racism,” and bingo, useful idiot infidels shrink into submission.
“Dutch School Gave Muslim Pupils 500 Euros Compensation Because Class Photo Day Fell During Ramadan”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, July 12, 2017:
Two Muslim children, both sisters, missed a school class photograph in The Hague during Eid al-Adha and as a result, the school has compensated the pair 500 euros. Their parents had demanded 10,000.
The Maria Montessori School in The Hague was brought to court over the matter and accused of discrimination because the sisters were not included in a class photograph. The Cantonal Court found the school guilty and awarded the pair 500 euros each in compensation, Dutch broadcaster RTL News reports.
Laura Zuydgeest, the lawyer for the sisters, said the incident, which occurred in 2015, was a clear case of discrimination because the only people affected were Muslims. The school defended its choice saying they tried to bring in the photographer in the morning but the only time the photographer was available was when the sisters and their mother were at a mosque for prayers.
The mother of the pair originally wanted 10,000 euros for the incident and said during the trial: “Do you know how it feels when your five-year-old daughter enters the classroom every day looks at the picture and asks, ‘Mommy, why I’m not here?’ and you can not explain it to the child?”
Ms. Zuydgeest said the mother in the case was happy with the outcome.
The anti-mass migration Party for Freedom (PVV), led by Dutch critic of Islam Geert Wilders, submitted parliamentary questions on the case, asking whether the judge who presided was “crazy” and if they should be suspended from their post.
Mr. Wilders took to Twitter to comment on the case, posting an image of a woman in a full-face Islamic niqab veil and a caption telling them to use the 500 euros to buy a one-way ticket to an Islamic country.

Netherland is k-a-p-u-t. Is there any brain left in that country?The mental illness sindrom is rapidly infecting world.
Seems, they are under collective hypnosis.

There is Geert Wilders–are you unfamiliar with this great Anti-Jihadist, Mike?
Mike9a says
hi greven, I am familiar with John the Baptist, a voice crying out in the Wilders ooops wilderness.
Living on the planet earth at this time and age, among the hordes of 7th century two-cells brains, seems more like Dante’s description of hell, …moral bankruptcy …some lowlife judge daily opposing common sense…etc etc, never ending cycle!
gravenimage says
Modern day Anti-Jihadists are important as well, Mike. There *are* good people standing up against Islam.
Ahava says
A prophet (like Wilders) is never beloved in his own country. This politician really is two sizes too big for this tiny and lost-to-the-left country. Giving lectures all over the globe, but being neglected as second-large political party in the attempts of building a new government for the Netherlands. All judges over there are globalists and leftists. Like I said: a lost country of dhimmies.

Netherlands: School pays Muslim pupils $571 because photo day fell during Ramadan
………………………
Shouldn’t the school be going after the Mohammedans for truancy, instead? Or do all Muslims stay out of school during Ramadan?
Naffa says
In the Netherlands we have the right to ask for not having to attend a class due to a religious holiday. We have to ask it and the school first has to give permission, but they always give permission for it. This makes it even crazier that this family sues the school because they asked the school themselves if their kids could have a day of for their religious holiday
gravenimage says
True.
Bronson says
Can’t explain it? What a whopping lie.
somehistory says
So many arguments against paying this.
1. Just how did it cost anything for the kids not to be included? In this country, parents have to pay money to get a copy of the class photo and/or individual photos of their kids. if the kid misses school on the day when individual photos are taken, it is sometimes possible to have a makeup day for those kids. But the parents still have to pay for the pics of their kids.
2. The students missed school…the school didn’t send the girls out of the room where the photos were being taken. As a general rule, schools let the parents know when the photos will be taken. It is the responsibility of the parents to ensure their kids are present on that day.
3. The woman made the choice not to have the kids at school. It is her fault that her children were not included. She must be terrible at explaining *why* the kid is not in the pic….or the child has some serious learning disabilities…or both…so that she must tell her every day *why* she isn’t in the pic.
4. I worked for a photographer’s studio the schools in the area used for the class pics. There are many schools and many photos that must be taken. Besides the other photo work the studio had. Schedules are not all that flexible, to accommodate one, 1, family by changing the date and time. To think they can is so very stupid.
However…that was part of the plan…
I have no doubts, none, that this was not a plan all along. To keep the kids out and then sue to be paid…for nothing…as the moslums have figured out so many schemes where money will be freely given.
Bill49 says
What is so hard to explain? The family chose to attend prayer rather than picture day. I have not expected any accommodation when I have chosen for myself or my family to refrain from secular activities on Good Friday. There is no discrimination here, Allah the benificent would understand if not the Imam.
Westman says
“Mommy, why I’m not here?’ and you can not explain it to the child?”
Very easily. Mommy chose Allah in preference to you, likely because of pressure from the religionists of, “no compulsion”. Then mommy expected the world to stop for Allah, and it didn’t, so mommy and daddy tried to make some money from the kufar who stupidly hand it out. Now let this be a lesson, my dear child, that we are here to fleece the dhimmis wherever we can until we reproduce a majority and take over. Never let a jihad seekers allowance pass you by.
Jayell says
Here in the UK a few years ago a certain Mrs. Noah made a few thousand pounds sterling from her ‘hurt feelings’ after she took the owner of a hairdressing salon to court for not giving her a job – because she refused to comply with the owner’s perfectly legal request not to wear a headscarf when working. Aided and abetted by a stupid judge, this venomous Islamic shyster nearly put the salon owner out of business. Judging from this and the Dutch case here, this kind of thoroughly obnoxious, unprincipled money-grubbing opportunism seems to be par for the course with muslims.
carpediadem says
Islamists will be Islamists, it is up to the country not to employ Leftist Islam-loving judges to play enforcer of jihad. But that’s not why they are there.
Peacemaker says
You missed a school class photograph because of your Eid al-Adha then you ask school to pay you 571 euro ???
Is Netherland judge mental disorder ?
gary@erko says
Jews can now claim compensation for all the events which fall on a Saturday or other Holidays.
Is this retrospective?
andra says
You will not live to see that. Neither Jews nor Christians nor Hindi nor Buddhists nor any other Religion will get a refund or whatever just becaouse they preferred prayer to something else.
Mark A says
How is it discrimination if the Muslims chose to be absent at the only time the photographer was available?
I suppose one solution is to avoid having class photos altogether. Another solution would be to avoid having Muslim students at this Montessori school in future. Let the Muslims go to their madrassa at the mosque they were attending when the school photo was taken.
Jim says
Hey Mark, do you recall the story on the Islamic conference, I think it was in Australia. They showed the posters and flyers for the event. All the male speakers had their photos displayed. All the women speakers were shown as a hijab with a blacked out face, because they don’t photograph women. Also, women in America insisting (I don’t know how successfully) that they be allowed to keep their faces covered in drivers license photos. In Canada, according to Faith Goldy of Rebel, a firearms license need not show a woman’s photo if she requests a religious exemption.
But suddenly, when there’s money to be extorted, they insist on being photographed. I’ll bet the girls’ Mom would not have allowed them to be photographed in any case, but since the photo was scheduled during Ramadan, she demanded to get paid for that which she would have done anyway.
somehistory says
I thought about that too…covering the faces of the girls from the very young, babies in scarves and veils. This was a money grabbing scheme and it worked.
Irene Brekelmans says
The Netherlands are gone, already for a long time and we pay those moslims for the smallest idiotic things,
We do not punish the criminals, “it is not good to punish them, because by law, we can not evict them”,
Have you ever heard such stupidity ? And everything you say or write is “political incorrect”.
That ‘s now already for years, but we will see what is political incorrect and the political correct ones will not like it, neither will I and my children, but we warned for years and all governments sold us out.
Our fine country, very democratic, with the elections 2nd biggest party in the country, but no other party wants to go together with him in parlement, so here is the 2nd biggest party, but can not do anything.
It’s the same with the last referendum, we could vote to be in the EU or not, we voted for no, but went in any way. That is a big problem from elite governments, they could not care less what the people vote for.
After that one time we never had another referendum.
It is time for “We the people” Long overdue.
Jeremy Cox says
Sorry the country voted out. Even if you didn’t. That’s democracy
Wakeup says
I had to restrian myself there I nearly said they should be told to go away or words to that effect. I am only glad the UK is leaving the eu. Google the American Redoubt that is the way the world is going folks the politicians are still not listening. The moment muslims said the felt threatened after the recent terrorist incidents theresa may IMMEDIATELY spoke up to reassure them.
STOP DEALING WITH muslims THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT FOR JOBS TRADE ETC.
Baucent says
Slightly off topic, but I read this week that in the Netherlands they are closing prisons at a record rate as they move to “community sentences”. That could come back to bite them.
gravenimage says
Yeah–imagine violent Mohammedans doing “community service”.
basil howard says
Islam specifically FORBIDS the creation of images of people. That, of course includes forbidding photography of people.
Eva Reisenstein says
I beg to differ w you but you are very naive if you think that Palestinians are peaceful and deserve Israeli land you are no better then the Palestinians, putting mortar and bombs in the basement where cildren are being taught is wrong and evil. If agree with this methadology the you too are a terrorist!
John A. Marre says
Goodbye Holland. Soon your country, a haven for gays, will be swarming with people who feel it’s their duty to kill gays. How are you going to resolve that, eh? Killing all the Christians won’t solve the problem, if that’s what you’re thinking.
Phil Copson says
They’ve never heard of Photoshop ?
Lioness says
Exactly, problem solved.
Notmoron says
The west is gone mad!
Thanks to the jihadwatch for letting everyone aware of western idiocy.
Capitalist-Dad says
The world will have regained its sanity when the correct answer to these Muslims’ bogus complaint is, “Sorry. It sucks to be you!”
Irene Brekelmans says
To Baucent: and all the other commentators It is true that they are closing prisons and give them community punishment: They have to take out weeds somewhere for a week or something like that, or the murderers have to go for a week to a mental asylum, I see them playing a bit crazy in court and they are leaving , laughing. This is in the Netherlands and it is not a hair better in the rest of Europe, only Hungary, Poland and I think 2 more countries wisened up, closed the borders.
It is going to hit us all soon. Now already when you have a sickness that is quite urgent, you have to wait to get into the hospital for 2/3 months, by then you could have died. Why, there are too many people and some with diseases they don’t know how to cure them.It is one big mess, but nothing, no crime reports in the newspaper or on TV.
BjornR says
I’d like to clarify that the school informed the parents in advance and even offered to take the photos first thing in the morning, so the children could attend whatever event at some mosque.
The children were by exception *legally* absent, just because they’re muslim.
Last, the school will most likely have to pay all court costs as well.
gravenimage says
No surprises here, Bjorn.
Richie says
Have any Muslims ever openly admitted how weak and naive western leftists are, and how easy it is to shake them down for money?
Valkyrie Ziege says
; The Muhammadan parents, and relatives, of the child, need to take responsibility for their actions, and explain to the child that they’re excluded because their invisible friend in the sky said so.
mach37 says
Muslim mother vs. a private school; charged with religious discrimination. Maybe it is the poor quality of lawyers? Or was the judge biased in favor of Muslims? The injury described by the mother was hurt feelings. Every group photo at my schools in the US omitted one or more students who were absent that day. Every one of them. Dutch judges must be more sensitive to Muslim emotions.
To avoid this happening in the future the school can stop taking group photographs. If they HAVE to have photos, arrange for individual portraits of each child.
Jerry says
“Do you know how it feels when your five-year-old daughter enters the classroom every day looks at the picture and asks, ‘Mommy, why I’m not here?’ and you can not explain it to the child?”
Oh gosh, how sad. Now let me ask, do these muslims know what it’s like when your Christian children are murdered or tortured for allah? to have your child raped before your eyes by some crazed jihadist? To have your homes and peace destroyed for the religion your kids stayed home for?
Your kids didn’t have their picture taken because you chose to drag them off to a mosque. It is an absurd demand when muslims expect special treatment above everyone else. What if picture day had been arranged around a Christian’ holiday, should a muslim minority have had to bow to them? Of course not, they would have sued for that too. Why the f*ck do you think the whole of society must bow to your dumb and violent superstition? Why is it that you muslims expect the whole non-muslim world to forego their own schedules and secular rights for your bigoted beliefs? I mean, this is beyond absurd. Their whole belief system is built on a bigoted and murderous dislike for everyone else’s religion! Yet, irony of ironies, we’re the ones getting sued for violating their religious rights! If you made this sh*t up nobody would believe it.
Jerry says
If some atheist parents had decided to keep their kids home that same day could they have sued for religious discrimination? After all, why should muslim parents be compensated for their religious beliefs while non-religious parents are ignored? Hardly seems fair. Is islam the state religion now? I guess it is.
Peggy says
It was up to you to decide if your child has a photo taken with her class or attends mosque. School had nothing to do with that decision.
How about YOU explain to YOUR child why she is not in the photo?
Tell her you made a choice.
Robeaver says
Oh big deal. Canada paid 10 million dollars. Canada has the big bucks, with huge increase in military spending. And OMAR..
Lydia says
All they have to do is stick a photo in for each one in a full face veil and… presto!
Problem solved! No one would ever notice the difference.
Idiots always comply with stupidity.
