Fading Liberal Dream Tears Dutch Apart
An article from the Observer International about
the rise of racial tensions in The Netherlands.
the rise of racial tensions in The Netherlands.
I love The Netherlands – its perhaps the only
place I’ve visited (and over and over again) that I would consider to live
besides where I am now in Chicago. But, with recent events, especially the
murder of Theo van Gogh, there are new tensions and issues around immigration.

So I’ve gone looking for Theo van
Gogh’s movie – I found it once before and watched it (just part 1, part 2 is
supposed to be available soon, but I wonder how much trouble will start up after
part 2 is released). I found a bit
torrent file which seems to
work.
Since I spent three months in
Saudi Arabia twenty years ago, I can see why radicals would be infuriated by
this film. It is designed to be inflammatory.
