The Limits of Dutch Tolerance

Posted by Van Helsing at September 2, 2010 12:31 PM

The Dutch will literally destroy their own country with their famous tolerance by allowing its hostile colonization by hordes of Muslims — but being ruled by liberals, they won't go so far as tolerating Christianity:

"If it'd said 'Allah Akbar', the council wouldn't have dared to try and remove it," says Marianne Bons, a member of the Dutch Reformed Protestant Church. She's talking about a farm roof on which 'Jesus saves' is painted in enormous letters. The council says the text has to go. The farm's owner, evangelical Christian Joop van Ooijen, is refusing to obey. The affair has united Christians of all persuasions behind the message.

"You're allowed to believe in anything in this country, as long as it's nothing to do with Christians or the Church," says Ms Bons, describing the prevailing Dutch attitude to religion.

Mr Van Ooijen has held out for two years, refusing to remove the message from his roof. Giessenlanden local council is fining him 500 euros a week, but he refuses to pay. He has been fighting the council decision for two years and says he's willing to go to the European Court if necessary.
Good luck getting anything but coercive moonbattery out of the European Court. Bons and Van Ooijen live in Holland's Bible Belt; culturally, it is light years away from the liberal authoritarians who sanctimoniously preside over Europe's decline.

On a tip from Jodie.
