I don't think people here have a problem with other people being muslim in general and also don't have a problem with them being in Holland.
What a lot of people here do have a problem with are the following facts:
16 million dutchies
1 million being muslim
70% of the people who commit a crime in Holland are muslim
What is wrong with these stats?
That is the problem here. We pulled the muslim community into our country some decades ago (because there was too much work and too little people to do it) and we failed to give those people a propper education. A big part of the muslim community felt left out of our society and anger amongst those people began to grow. Of course we denied this problem being a problem and that was how the situation escalated.
That's the situation where we are in now and I think it will be very hard to solve. A lot of the younger generation muslims here do not have any respect for the dutch society. And actually I don't think that you can blame that all on them. Anybody who feels left out of a society will have problems respecting that seem society.
I think the upcoming years will be some rough ones in Holland.
