Netherlands sees mosque attacks and rising Islamophobia

[LuckyTheDog]

Rotterdam, the Netherlands - Charif Slimani, the imam of the Moroccan mosque in Roosendaal in the Netherlands, arrived early on the morning of November 14, 2015, to prepare his sermon for the Friday prayer.

He had not slept that night because of the attacks in Paris and had been contemplating what he should say during his sermon to address them. When he arrived at the mosque, however, he was surprised to discover that the prayer room was unusually empty.

"There was smoke coming from the room and a heavy, penetrating smell of gas. We initially thought that a gas line had been broken," said Slimani, 42. "So we decided to pray elsewhere."

The police arrived a few hours later and revealed that gallons of gasoline had been distributed throughout the prayer room. The perpetrator had tried but failed to start a fire.

3. Exactly. They have had a "Trump" since long before we got our "Trump".

And they are both Islamophobic, anti-immigration bigots. Of course, Wilders, Le Pen, Farage and other European RW'ers are conservatives that our Trump has learned from.
