THE DUTCH ARE HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH DIVERSITY


Burkeman, Oliver (2005) Going to pot NEW REPUBLIC, 10-11.

Where in the world can you do drugs, sex and everything else legally? The answer is Holland. However, this paradise of libertarianism is struggling with diversity. The story deals with immigrants from Morocco and Turkey. They are Muslim and they are not assimilating.

Dutch social life is against Nation of Islam law. Immigrants are poor and dark in appearance and some 30 years ago there was even a race riot.

About 6% of the population follows the teaching of Mohammed. Things are not working out and immigration policy is tightening up.

Is this the future of Europe?
