Argumentive Essay: Muslims in the Netherlands'

“If you can't accept Dutch values, don't come here” say’s the officials of Holland.

They went as far as to assassinate the gay politician Pim Fortuyn who was warning the masses of their unassimilated kind to killing of the filmmaker Theo van Gogh. Some would even go as far to harass
