An article from today’s Sunday New York Times –
it appears Dutch residents are trying to leave The Netherlands in numbers much
greater than before, and its due to the problems occurring
recently.

I thought this article was very interesting. It posits that
the Dutch are trying to leave their home country because they don’t like the
changes occurring due to the rapid influx of immigrants, especially Muslim ones.
There is an opinion stated that this has come to head due to the death of film
maker Theo van Gogh. There is a also a fear that the current welfare state will
not be able to tolerate the influx.

You
can find an earlier post, in this blog stream, of an article from the New Yorker
magazine (perhaps due to the roots of New York City they find this topic
especially interesting) on some of these issues.
