Hollanti oli tunnetusti monikulttuurisuususkovaisten täydellinen esimerkki onnellisesta mallivaltiosta, mutta kuinkas sitten kävikään? Miksi sosiaaliliberaalit humanistitkin myöntävät kokeilunsa karmivat seuraukset?
Dutch race policy 'a 30-year failure'
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in The Hague
(Filed: 20/01/2004)
Holland's 30-year experiment in trying to create a tolerant, multicultural society has failed and led to ethnic ghettos and sink schools, according to an official parliamentary report.
Between 70 and 80 per cent of Dutch-born members of immigrant families import their spouse from their "home" country, mostly Turkey or Morocco, perpetuating a fast-growing Muslim subculture in large cities.
The 2,500-page all-party report by the Dutch parliament was the establishment's tentative answer to the critique of Pim Fortuyn, the shaven-headed firebrand who warned that Holland's easy-going way of life was threatened by militant Islam and over-crowding. He was assassinated by an environmental activist two years ago.
While the report praised most immigrants for assimilating and for doing well at school, it attacked successive governments for stoking ethnic separatism.
The worst mistake was to encourage children to speak Turkish, Arabic or Berber in primary schools rather than Dutch. The report concluded that Holland's 850,000 Muslims must become Dutch if the country was to hold together. It proposes cheap housing in the leafy suburbs to help ethnic groups assimilate with the rest of the 16 million population.
The major parties in the centre-Right government dismissed such solutions as insufficient. Maxime Verhagen, the Christian Democrat leader in parliament, said one had to be "either naive or ignorant" not to understand that the policy had led the country into a cul-de-sac.
He said: "Immigrants in the Netherlands top the 'wrong' lists - disability benefit, unemployment assistance, domestic violence, criminality statistics and school and learning difficulties."
For years Holland was seen as a glowing example of multi-ethnic tolerance, making huge efforts to make immigrants feel at home. Funding was provided for ethnic diversity projects, including 700 Islamic clubs that are often run by hard-line clerics.
The simmering resentments erupted two years ago when Mr Fortuyn gave voice to an increasingly fearful majority. The European Union's Racism and Xenophobia Monitoring Centre has catalogued a rash of anti-Muslim attacks, leaving girls too frightened to go out wearing head scarves.
The violence has taken a more ominous turn since the September 11 attacks. The Dutch intelligence service, AIVD, has warned that the al-Qa'eda network is "stealthily taking root in Dutch society" by preying on disaffected Muslim youth with Jihad video cassettes circulating in mosques, cafes and prisons.
Rotterdam has announced measures to deter more poor immigrants and is closing its gates to new asylum seekers for four years.

"Between 70 and 80 per cent of Dutch-born members of immigrant families import their spouse from their "home" country, mostly Turkey or Morocco, perpetuating a fast-growing Muslim subculture in large cities".
Tässähän puhutaan ihan eri asiasta kuin tällä palstalla. Jos suomalainen mies tuo Thaivaimon, niin lapset kyllä integroituvat suomalaiseen kulttuuriin. Venäläissuomalaiset lapset tietysti vielä paremmin.
Lisäksi on huomattava, että suomalaiset naiset tuovat muslimit suomeen, kun miehet tuovat ortodokseja ja buddhalaisia, jotka tunnetusti sopeutuvat paremmin.
Epäilyttää kyllä vähän sekin, että Hollannissa on tiettävästi täystyöllisyys.
Kenenhän syynivinkkelistä artikkeli on kirjoitettu. Ehkä jonkun populistin joka haluaa vain Toni Halmeen lailla parlamenttiin nautiskelemaan henkilökohtaisista etuuksista.
Sir Mickey
Mistä olet kuullut, että Hollannissa olisi täystyöllisyys?!?!?
Käy kattoon eures-jobsearchin sivuilta... mol.fi:n kautta löytyy linkki. Aivan jumalattomasti avoimia työpaikkoja Hollannissa.
Ei ole todellakaan Hollannissa täystyöllisyyttä! Työttömyysaste kymmenen molemmilla puolilla, paikkakunnasta riippuen.
Lisäksihän tiedetään myös Theo Van Goghin murha viime syksynä. Hollanti on jo nyt mennyt ulkomallaispolitiikkansa kanssa metsään ja se näkyy ja tuntuu katukuvassa. Yleensä turkkilaisperäiset rikolliset aiheuttavat eniten päänvaivaa, jonka lisäksi on vielä musimit ja surinaminlaiset sotkemassa asioita.
Hollannissa kun ollaan kieli ruskeana jokasuuntaan jees jees meiningillä menty. Eniten tilanteesta kärsii tavallinen eurooppalainen jolla on ei-eu-aviopuoliso ja joka haluaa mennä sinne vaikka töihin pariksi vuodeksi. Maahan saapuminen tehdään erittäin vaikeaksi väärille ihmisille, mutta jos sinne menee "luvatta" niin sitten kaikki järjestyy. Siis samantyylinen tilanne kuin suomessa kiristettäisi aseenkantoluvan ehtoja siksi, että luvattomilla aseilla tehdään niin paljon rikoksia.
Onneksi tilanne on hollannissa, mutta sama on leviämässä myös ruotsiin ja suomeen, ja moneen muuhun paikkaan.
Vähintä mitä voitaisi julkisella puolella tehdä, on ottaa kaikki määrärahat pois sen vieraan kulttuurin tukemiselta. Jos olet täällä, elät meidän tavalla.
