Burka Intolerance In Scandanavia?

-
Is it possible that even the over-the-top multi-culturalists up there are starting to get it??

[[ The Netherlands is likely to become the first country in Europe to ban the burka, under government proposals that would bring in some of the toughest curbs on Muslim clothing in the world.

The country’s hardline Integration Minister, Rita Verdonk, known as the Iron Lady for her series of tough anti-immigration measures, told Parliament that she was going to investigate where and when the burka should be banned. The burka, traditional clothing in some Islamic societies, covers a woman’s face and body, leaving only a strip of gauze for the eyes.

Mrs Verdonk gave warning that the “time of cosy tea-drinking” with Muslim groups had passed and that natives and immigrants should have the courage to be critical of each other. She recently cancelled a meeting with Muslim leaders who refused to shake her hand because she was a woman.

See, the Dutch are in no mood to put up with anymore islamofascist garbage. There remember only too well what all their "tolerance" got Theo Van-Gogh. Here is more proof of how reality is bursting the liberal bubble:

[[ How the Netherlands has become less liberal:

* Immigrants must pass an exam on Dutch language and culture before being allowed to move to the Netherlands. That does not apply to immigrants from US, Canada, Australia, Japan and other EU states.

* Legal immigrants already there must take a Dutch language course at their own expense.

* Immigrants guilty of any minor crime, such as shoplifting, during their first three years in the country can be deported.

* People can bring in a husband or wife only once they are 24 years old, and do not depend on welfare benefits. The measures are aimed at curbing international arranged marriages.

* 26,000 illegal immigrants are being deported, some of whom have been in the country for ten years and have established families.

* Clampdown on foreign imams working in mosques. They must show their appreciation of Dutch values.

* Increase in sentences for a range of crimes, and introduction of “zero tolerance” policing to cities such as Rotterdam.

* Tightening of rules on cannabis-selling coffee-shops and zero-tolerance approach to infringements. About half the coffee shops in Amsterdam have closed.
]]

Fear not, though... some of the insane liberal agenda remains alive and well in the lowlands:

[[ * The Netherlands is still liberal in some ways, however. In 2001, the country became the first in the world to legalise gay marriages. The Netherlands still has liberal rules on euthanasia, recently extending it to severely handicapped babies and children. ]]

I think we already have, SAJ... we've learned that even a multi-cultural mecca can be shocked back into realism.

I think you should change the title of this post, as Holland is not a part of Scandinavia, which is usually considered to be Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Gotta keep ammo out of the hands of the lefties :)
