A Jewish-Christian-Islamic Tradition????
The Minister of Housing in the Netherlands has said that Holland - in due course - will become a country with a Jewish-Christian-Islamic tradition...
During the parliamentary debate on Islamic radicalism last night none of the political parties supported the motion of no-confidence submitted by the Party for Freedom (PVV) against Minister of Housing, Living and Integration Ella Vogelaar.
PVV faction leader Geert Wilders, who had submitted the motion, cannot live with Vogelaar’s comment in an interview two months ago in Trouw saying that: in due course the Netherlands will become a country with a ‘Jewish-Christian-Islamic tradition’.The Liberal party VVD had seriously considered supporting the motion but after internal consultations decided against it.
Prior to the motion Wilders had called the minister ‘raving mad’. Vogelaar did not respond to the provocation but found Wilders’ comment ‘somewhat rude’. The PvdA minister ‘did not feel the need to retract her comments’ that the Islamic culture is becoming deeply rooted in the Dutch society.

You didn't add any comments of your own to this article, so I have no clue how you feel about the subject.
But let me put it this way... Isn't it -logical- for the dutch culture to evolve into something new? It's not as if we were devout Christians back in the Stone Age! Nope, all of that Judeo-Christian culture that Wilders is so proud of was imported/forced on us as well! It's natural for a country's identity to change and evolve over the centuries, so it's not odd to think that certain parts of Islam will become part of our culture as well.
Ah well... Geert Wilders is known for stirring up storms, though most people tend to ignore the fellow.
IMHO we should all just stop struggling so hard. All this yelling and shouting about Islam isn't helping anyone.
