They are zooming ahead Bruce. The Dutch lawmakers are considering a law to require internet service providers in the Netherlands to block extremist websites from user access. The report was in support of that legislation. Recent laws passed include speaking only Dutch in public, no burquas in public, no foreign language business or advertising signs (except English with Dutch on street signs in tourist areas or those in keeping with a business theme such as a french restaurant using a sign partially in French), barring use of mosques for non-religious purposes, limiting immigration to a trickle, virtually eliminating importing foreign brides from Muslim nations and vastly tightening anti-terrorism laws. They are reacting strongly to the Islamists in their midst. They are Dutch and intend to remain so.
