An historical overview.
In 1951, came the first Muslims, as a group, to the Netherlands. This involved a number of Moluccan families of former soldiers (from the former colony that is now the Republic of Indonesia).
In 1954 a Dutch translation of the Qur'an appears.
Friesland , in the Netherlands, already has the first real mosque built in 1955. The second was built in The Hague.
Until the seventies, the Muslim community had barely stirred. Although they continued with their fidelity to Islam, they made no specific demands of Dutch society; probably partly because of their relatively small number.
The political climate is as follows. A starting point is: there must be the right to preserve (immigrants’) own culture and the government should keep aloof from the integration of minorities.

1970: Family reunion is taking place. That leads to the abolition of the law which prohibits marriage between blood relatives.
Prompted by the governing influence of the Dutch Socialist Party (PvdA) in the major cities, this slowly creates an unbridled expansion of Islam. Since integration is not paramount, the Social Services also starts releasing leaflets in Arabic and Turkish.
In 1977: Decisions of the meat inspectorate are adjusted so that Islamic slaughter is permitted.
1988: The call to prayer from minarets is deemed legally equivalent to the ringing of church bells. In the same year, the first Islamic primary school is opened.
In 1993: the Dutch Muslim Broadcasting [Nederlandse Moslim Omroep, NMO] organisation was founded. The NMO is an affiliate of the Dutch Muslim Council [Nederlandse Moslim Raad (NMR)].
1997: An Islamic university is opened (?) in Rotterdam.

From the beginning of the 21st century, the ‘Dhimmituding’ of The Netherlands is accelerating at a rapid pace. After September 11, 2001, the official government position is: there is no relationship between (Muslim!) terrorism and Islam. The policy in the mainstream media is systematically to ignore the negative impressions Islam can generate. More and more, Islam critics are labeled Islamophobes, xenophobes or racists. In many areas are quality and admission standards are revised downwards to promote Muslim integration and participation. Measures against hate preaching imams are rarely taken.
2001: In the Dutch parliament (de Tweede-Kamer) there is a serious discussion of proposals to ban bottles of wine in Christmas hampers.
2002: A quarter of primary schools in cities of the Randstad area (coast line) shift the celebration of Christmas because it coincides with a Muslim holiday, or abolish it entirely.
(From) The municipal elections of 2002. The Dutch Socialist Party, PvdA, appoints, in disproportionate numbers, councilors and aldermen with an Islamic background. Many of them are involved in scandal based on past or present acts or sympathies. In almost all cases, the party leadership is involved in protecting them.
The number of incidents in which Islam is an underlying factor, increases exponentially:
There are increasing number of reports on homophobia among young Muslims, anti-Semitic discords during anti-Israel demonstrations, disturbances and destruction at commemorations and threats made to dissenters.
2006: Queen Beatrix attends the 50th anniversary of a mosque in The Hague. She agrees in advance upon not shaking hands.
In the opinion of Minister of Justice Piet Hein Donner, Islamic law (Sharia) could be introduced in the Netherlands.
Minister for Development Cooperation, Agnes van Ardenne, calls Islam critics inherently dangerous fundamentalist secularists.
The Commissioner of the Queen in the province of North Brabant, Hanja Maij-Weggen (Christian Democrats CDA), bans the use of a boar on the logo for the celebration of the 900-year anniversary of the Duchy of Brabant.
The anti-gay and misogynist fundamentalist Muslim Faizel Enait, from Rotterdam, wins the grand prize in an essay contest organised by the Wiardi Beckman Foundation (WBS), the scientific office of the Socialist Party (PvdA).
According to ‘Facts-book Islam.nl’, in the year 2006, 62% of Dutch indigenous adults judged that the way of life of Muslims was incompatible with Western European standards. This fact was and still is completely ignored by successive governments.

After the parliamentary elections of 2006, ministers with dual nationality are appointed. The objections raised by the right wing concerning their loyalty are not taken seriously.
2007: New requirements are imposed for passport photographs in official documents. An exception is made for Muslims.

Several Islamic schools and mosques are accused of fraud and abuse:
- As-Sunnah mosque in Amsterdam
- El Ameen Ameen El I and II in Amsterdam
- Salah Eddin El Ayyoubi in Helmond

While driving a car, Muslim women may wear Muslim headscarves, niqabs or burqas. It is allowed even during the driving test, although the examiner, in that case, is less able to see whether the woman is looking correctly in the mirrors and if she makes enough eye contact with other road users.

Affixing compass cards in police cells in order to point the way towards Mecca for Muslim prisoners is a constitutional right. This was the response of the Interior Minister, Guusje ter Horst from the Dutch Social Party (PvdA), to parliamentary questions from the Party for Freedom (PVV). Muslims are given the opportunity to pray in the right direction by the dots or compass cards in the cells

Hij geeft de voorkeur aan voorlichting en wil de dialoog aangaan over ’dit voor Nederland nieuwe fenomeen’.

A religious marriage without a civil marriage certificate is a punishable offense.

In March 2009 50 seats are reserved for a performance of ‘Salaheddine’, in Rotterdam’s Zuidplein Theatre; specifically for Muslim women who do not want to sit alongside men.

The court in Amsterdam is finally about to prosecute Wilders for inciting hatred and discrimination. There will be a political process; conducted against a democratically elected Dutch politician, who alone has the guts to show the hypocritical ‘dhimmitude’ referred to above.

Through a conviction it would be possible to deprive him of a claim on the premiership in advance.
