Is gay bashing a Muslim thing in Europe or a Mediterranean immigrant thing?
Have you ever been threatened by Indians or Indonesians in Amsterdam? There are plenty Indonesian and Indian immigrants there; even if you may have mistaken the Indians for hindus (Most muslims in the world are from Indonesia, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.). Or even Turkish ?
You do not give any evidence that gay bashing is done for religious reasons. The notorious, and only, fundamentalist killer in Amsterdam, Mohammed Bouyeri, was a quiet and disciplined man. Rowdy and agressive North Africans in the streets, however, do everything which god has forbidden. They are Muslims just in name. It is a joke to assert that these people feel like enforcing sharia law. You can do better than just stateing that “Such men need not be actively religious in order to feel that they have carte blanche to assault”. It is simply unrelated. They are agressive and like to beat somebody up. Their parents? You know that they often are from the backest of backwaters in Morocco. Maybe that has something to do with it, instead of islam ?
So, “In AMsterdam, in the late 1990s, “you were “delightfully surprised to discover that when groups of straight teenage boys passed gay couples in the streets, they just walked past without any reaction whatsoever”. That is good. The biggest muslim immigration had already taken place, and the first riots also.
Btw. there are no sharia rules applied in Amsterdam which go against regular Dutch law. You must think like Lenin, that repeating a lie often enough, will make it a truth. Actually, in the end, you may be right there. I think you are winning already.
Can you give your readers the link, where they can read that a Dutch major (Cohen) wishes to allow male Muslim residents to oppress their wives, sisters, and daughters ? That would mean the end of his career, and, if the thing is true, that would be better for all of us. I shall be going after that.
