This afternoon a Dutch muslim woman was interviewed on Radio 1 (talk radio). As a Dutch muslim representative she had been invited to visit the U.S. (congresses and organisations) and she said she had been pleasantly surprised by the way the Americans treat the muslims, compared to how the Dutch treat them nowadays.
She quoted an American imam who'd told her that after 9/11 the Americans had passed the test, meaning that they had stayed calm and friendly toward their fellow muslim americans.
While I don't agree with her perception of how the Dutch treat muslims, I thought some of you might appreciate her compliment.
Groet,
