I don't think any of them feel like they have an answer. A couple say that almost half the children in school in the country today are Muslims (I think they may be exaggerating but I read somewhere that it is very large). Stopping immigration is the most often suggested solution.

I don't think any of them were supporters of his at the time, but there was a controversial Dutch politician named Pym Fontaine who attracted a lot of attention with an independent political movement opposed to further immigration without better integration. (He was also openly gay and considered right-wing although I have been told that was largely because of his perceived anti-immigrant policies not economic policies). Fontaine was a huge threat to the established political parties before he was assassinated, believe it or not, by an animal rights activist, who said he killed Fontaine out of sympathy for the Muslims.
