Default What a show on 60 Minutes!

Did anyone see that episode of 60 Minutes on the problems between the Muslim population in Amsterdam/Rotterdam and the native Dutch? Wow, it was a profile in courage. A young Somali woman who was part of the making of the movie "Submission" with the, later murdered, Theo Van Gogh. She has real guts. And Amsterdam has real problems.

Yep. If it has not started it is about Kenny Lay, then the bit on this young, intelligent and very pretty Somali woman, and I did not watch the last story.

Make sure you catch the middle of it if nothing else. Very good.

I hope 60 minutes presented it in a way that will make people aware of the problem of too much Islamic immigration. The fanatics/terrorists can get in so easily. We are allowing far too much such immigration here - and we are bound to be sorry at some point.

I am encouraged by those Muslim countries where the people are trying to separate the government from their religion. I wish I could have seen this show. My own fault, I reckon - my decision not to have TV available.

Default Re: What a show on 60 Minutes!

I read this morning that 3 brothers were arrested in Berlin for actually murdering their own sister!!! They shot her in the chest and head several times in public. Honor killing... There is no way you can honorably murder your own sister and if some religion says you can then that religion is not worth the dirt on my boots.

It was on the BBC under Europe I did not have time to read it all.

It is not just the Dutch who are having major problems. Also a good friend and co-worker is married to a Norwegian lady and he said when they first went to Norway years ago he had never been in such a peaceful and quiet place. Now the Muslims have demanded to be able to break all the noise ordnance and other regulations so they an yell from roof tops 4 or 5 times a day. They have actually come in and made Norway change to fit them.

I say to hell with that you either become part of the culture or leave.

Here is the link, and here is what some of the children near by said according to the BBC:

Quote:
But not everyone shares the outrage. On a school playground, just yards from where the killing occurred, children were heard praising it. The victim, they said, had lived like a German.
Of course it would not be fair to not say it was ****ed by some Muslims but really it should be ****ed by them all.

You can tell where the large concentrations of Muslims reside in Europe, as they are often referred to as "dish city", you will see apratment complexes with satellite dishes on almost every balcony, this feeds programs from the Middle East, many of them which spew radical Islam.

The murder of Theo Van Gogh, as was explained on 60 Minutes, caused spontaneous outbursts around the city, almost like a city known for looking the other way and allowing everyone to do their own thing found a reason to come together to mourn his death and be outraged at how it happened (It was very brutal, meant to send a message)
