The Netherlands

: So when Aboutaleb spoke up after last month Paris terror attacks — telling Muslims who can’t stand humorists to Get lost! — it was a shout heard around the world, according to Toronto Star. The Netherlands has deep traditions of tolerance, which long extended even to the intolerant. As a Muslim immigrant from Morocco, he is also a prominent member of a community that many Europeans increasingly see as being in conflict with those values. Accepting people who don’t share your values was seen as a badge of a true democratic society. The fact that a prominent Dutch Muslim repudiated that view in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks made waves as a powerful expression of this shift in the Netherlands and throughout Europe, from a live-and-let-live society to one in which new arrivals are pushed to embrace Western customs and values. But many of the Dutch are questioning whether it makes sense to embrace all viewpoints and all ways of life. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
