>>I don't think 600,000 Israelis would in any way negatively impact our society - including settlers, Orthodox, hardline Zionists, whatever. And if you think 1000 Gaza residents with a proportionate representation of Hamas would have zero impact on Dutch society, you may be correct, but that only shows that you've already allowed one of the great European cultures to be subverted beyond redemption.

I am not feeling very nervous about Irgun or the Stern Gang. I would rather my own security depend on Mossad or Shin Beit rather than Leon Pinetta's CIA. I find the level of expected Jewish suicide bombers acceptable.

I think for the most part the Muslim population of the United States is making a very positive contribution to our society and is going through an assimilation process that has been part of our culture ( with all the difficulties, prejudice and hardship that has often been part of that process )

My understanding of the Muslim communities in Europe and Britain ( I am still enough of an Anglophile to distinguish between the two ;-) ) is that there is far less assimilation. France is a very clear example as is England. I don't know about Holland but just what we see in the papers leads me to believe a very large percentage of your Muslim population has no interest in becoming Dutch or adopting Dutch cultural norms.

And there is a huge amount of Wahhabi money flowing into those communities and that money has a political and cultural agenda. And the reproductive demographics, open borders and short distances will compound the problem.

I believe this will be one of the greatest challenges Europe will face in the next decade.
