Do you guys have ideas on why they wouldn't have simply said, we're frightened or don't like the direction the country is going because of Muslims in the interviews?
Also, does anybody know what the Muslim population in North America looks like compared to Dutch and other European countries?
Lastly, if this is a pressing problem, why hasn't the Dutch government tried to contain and eradicate the problem?

I'm not leaving this country because I'm afraid. I'm leaving this country because the attitude of the general Dutch public has taken a turn for the worse. Holland might be perceived as a social country where everybody is welcome but that's far from true when you talk to Dutch people.
This society is fed by fear and anger by a few radicalist muslims. The Dutch now fear muslims and are afraid that muslims will take over this country because the government refuses to take matters into own hands. There is no understanding between people anymore and negativity has taken the upperhand.
This is certainly not the time for me to live in Holland anymore. I'd rather live in a society filled with hypocrits like America than a society based on fear like Holland.
I must say I've been wanted to get out of this small minded country for years now, but it seems this is the right time to pack my bags.
