Muslims in Netherlands

Amid the windmill that became mascot Netherlands there are about 200 mosques and views of women wearing the hijab in various major cities in this country, not a strange thing. Of the 15.6 million Dutch population, about sejutaan of them are Muslim or 4 percent of the population. And History of Muslims in the Netherlands can be ordered from the 1960s, during which the Dutch government bring in foreign workers, mostly from the region mediterian because of lack of manpower. Turkish and Moroccan immigrants are carriers syiar then Islam in the Netherlands.
As elsewhere in Europe, Islam became the religion that is very attractive to many Europeans. No wonder the growth of Islam in Europe including the Netherlands quite rapidly. This makes the Dutch government worried. No wonder the negative stigmatization efforts against Islamic teaching was done. Including the accused terrorist. (Watch Islam in the Netherlands)
In his press conference with the news agency 'Reuters', Tajebe Gostra, national coordinator for combating terrorism in the Netherlands declares, "Here, the Netherlands, we have witnessed an increasingly strong tendency toward fundamentalism among the young. Young people seem so quick to menganutnya "
There are a number of factors that encourage the acceleration of the number of Muslims in the country's Windmills. Among the elite citizens of the capital of Holland, it turns out his 59% do not believe in any religion. For the Netherlands they generally suffer a significant setback, especially in Amsterdam. That's what drives many churches and religious foundations Christians close or sell their assets, because they are increasingly falling number jama'ah.
Netherlands, "said Wilders in the Netherlands related scene lately where many encountered Muslim headscarves, a bearded Muslim and mosque towers are popping up in the State's Windmills.
Wilders is not the first Dutch MP who attacked Islam. Several years ago, his predecessor Ayaan Hirsi Ali, seeking fame and political office with insulting Islam. This Somalia-born Dutch politician denounced Islam as a religion of backward and degrading women. He also accused the Rosulullah saw as a heretic because married A'ishah who was a child. No less heinous, in accusing the Messenger of Allah was pervers (have a sexual disorder).
Ironically, by claiming himself as a former Muslim, he was then considered an expert talk about Islam, especially about the Islamic view on women. He was also given space as experts on Islam in the circle akedemis, publish books, and wrote a story for insulting Islam film called "Submission". In the film he accuses the Koran encourages kekacaun and the rape of the entire family. The film that aims to publish insulting Islam is a Muslim who pray, but dressed in his penetrating eyes and writing the verses of the Koran. Because of this movie, the director Theo Van Gogh was murdered by Muhammad Buyeri are not willing to be insulted his religion.
Hirsi Ali was expelled from the Netherlands after getting caught falsifying application for Dutch citizenship. Dutch passport had been revoked. He also withdrew from the Dutch parliament. When the Dutch arrived in 1992, he admitted running from forced marriages during the war torn Somalia. He later gained the sympathy and lend credibility to his lies about Islam, though he suffered directly as a woman oppressed by Islam. His lies were uncovered. Develop a television program in the Netherlands, Hirsi family members said they were not aware of any such forced marriages. Even Hirsi actually not living in Somalia, but to live comfortably in Kenya for 12 years.
Although proven to lie with his experience, Hirsi still considered to have authority to speak about Islam by the West. After leaving Holland, he later worked as an expert on research institutes neo conservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI) in the U.S. where he lives now.
The Dutch government pernha pushing a bill that prohibits the use of the niqab (veil) in public places. Although this bill failed, Wilder again trying to ban veiled campaign for this. Wilder adds a long list of other things that need to be banned for Muslims, including the Qur'an, niqab and Dutch citizenship for Muslims.
Muslims do have a bad experience with the Dutch state. For about 350 years this country colonized Islamic lands of Indonesia. History records inhuman treatment committed by the Dutch. Starting from the forced cultivation, forced labor, until the massacre.
The same experience never felt the Bosnian Muslims. The Dutch government in December 2006 has been awarded the UN Peace Dutch troops who had surrendered to the Serbs of Srebrenica during Bosnia's 1992-1995 war. Serbia then do pembantantai mass in July 1995 after the Dutch handed the big city to serbian. Over 8000 Muslims were killed. In a vidoe looks generals Mladic smile gives gifts to the Dutch war commander Col. Tom Karreman. Then Col. Karreman did tos for the triumph of the Serbian generals.
Insult to Islam like this continue to repeat and had long since occurred. Only Khilafahlah to be able to stop their dirty mouth so that the fort of Islam remain intact and protected by the army of the Caliphate. Therefore, no one else would dare approach the enemy of Islamic buildings, let alone climb.
Insult to Islam by declaring war. Khilafah will deploy troops, missiles, and artillery so that people who want to forget his intention to insult Islam. Even the heathen would not ever dare to insult Islam again, for fear of the Khilafah and the reaction, until the Khilafah does not need to deploy the troops!
Khilafah history has clearly shown it. Evidence of maintenance of the Caliphate of Islam and Muslims at all obvious, not only against those who insult Islam and the Prophet of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad., Even of contempt on something that is lighter than that. The story of a woman who despised by the Jews in their markets at the time of the Prophet. And then they fought against and expelled (from Medina). The story of a woman who was humiliated by the Romans so that the Caliph himself directly in charge of the troops to give the Romans a lesson until it came to pass Amuriyah conquest of the city.
Those who attempt to attack the Prophet's tomb. during the Abbasid Caliphate, when Nur al-Din Zanki served as guardian (governor) of Syria in the year 557 H, and the knowledge Caliph, Nur al-Din also traveled to Medina to capture and kill them, namely the Christians who attacked the Prophet's tomb., as form of defense to the Messenger of Allah. At that time they, the Christians, had dug a tunnel from a house near the Prophet's mosque, to be able to reach the cemetery he saw.
Even when the condition of weak ones, while maintaining the Caliphate of Islam and Muslims. Khilafah still able to blow away the fear in the hearts of the infidel invaders. Bernard Shaw mentions in his memoirs, that in 1913 AD, ie during the time of the Ottoman Caliphate was weak, he is prohibited from issuing a story that contained an insult to the Messenger of Allah. Lord Chamberlin banned for fear of the reaction of the Ottoman Caliphate Daula ambassador in London.
This is indeed a serious matter, not playing games, O Muslims. Surely something that could hinder an insult to Islam that is clear and not something that is not known, namely: Khilafah 'ala Minhaj-an-nubuwwah Caliphate that follows the method of Prophethood. Khilafah is what will protect the land and honor. Khilafah is an obligation, even the most important obligation.

Confront Islam in the Netherlands on Religious Tolerance Test

Netherlands, synonymous with windmills. Therefore, whoever will not have trouble finding the building windmills in the country. And windmills, it became a symbol of the country ever colonized Indonesia for 350 years.
Even so, as with building a mosque. Although in the Netherlands the majority of the population are Christian, but look for building the mosque is not difficult. The reason, more than 200 mosques scattered throughout the country.
In fact, looking for Muslims was also not too difficult. Because, there are more than one million Muslims living in the Netherlands. Starting from Amsterdam, Den Haag, Einhoven, and a number of other areas. They have a bersurban, hooded, or an ordinary dress, a common thing encountered. Islam and religious activities were, very stretched in this country.
Stretching is not separated from the presence of Muslims who number about one million people. They are citizens and immigrants. This number includes four to five percent of the population reached 16 million inhabitants.
From the figures above, the Dutch also have a privileged position in the eyes of European Muslims. The Netherlands became the second largest European country populous Muslim nation in terms of percentage of population, after France.Islam is a religion with the most rapid development. It seems inseparable from the relationship between Islam and the Netherlands who has had a long span of history ever since the 17th century.
Therefore, the contribution of Muslims to the progress made Holland, sangatlah.besar. And the contribution of Muslims, it could color the state policy in respect of religious freedom and tolerance.
Religious sentiment
At first, the Dutch Muslim community interaction with local communities work well. Residents also respect the beliefs of Muslims. And, Muslims started to build a number of places of worship. Repercussion azan also allowed, though with loudspeakers though only once a week.
Dutch Muslims also established a number of slaughterhouses (RPH), and they also practice ways of slaughter as the teachings of Sharia (Islamic). Some offices provide prayer facilities to employees who are Muslims, fasting Ramadan and ljbur holidays.
However, times full of intimacy is starting to face severe test, especially since the beginning of the 21st century. Anti-Islamic sentiment increasingly widespread due to provocation and negative accusations against religion and race
Islam. Therefore, Muslims must berjibaku to ward off negative accusations launched by the anti-Islamic.
The Orientalists and anti-Islamic circles, endlessly instill fear and hatred against Muslims and Islam in society. They worry that Islam will be growing rapidly in Europe including the Netherlands. They think, if it happens, it will threaten the culture and values that they profess. An excuse and phobias are highly exaggerated.
Fear has even reached the level of hatred. Most people now no longer reluctant to support groups that often discredit Islam. The voices to take the rights of Muslims, to close the mosque, forcing Muslims to follow
Western lifestyle, continue echoed. So also with the banning of the hijab (headscarf) and terrorism. Now, Muslims in the Netherlands, is really entering a period of trials and testing.
The climax, when the murder of a famous columnist and filmmaker, Theo van Gogh, in Amsterdam in 2004. Theo is a controversial filmmaker who tells of the persecution Submission that allegedly often experienced by Muslim women by their husbands.
This assassination jerking Dutch society, especially after the perpetrator is known to Muslim immigrants from Morocco. The motive for the murder of alleged Van Gogh's opinions during this very insulting Muslims and often provoke.
Sociologist Dick Pels, quoted by Radio Netherlands wereldomroep.nl site, said the Dutch face seemed changed after the killing of Van Gogh. The moment that utilized a number of circles, one of the famous is Geert Wilders, Dutch MP.
"Since the murder occurred, many people think that Islam is a threat. And that Wilders used properly," said Dick Pels.Menurutnya, there are similarities between Van Gogh and Wilders. Both have a fear of the Islamization of culture. That's what made him continue to speak out anti-Islamic.
Several years ago, ignited anger Wilders Dutch Muslim community with plans playback * abusive Islam film Fitna. As if not satisfied, Wilders initiated the draft law on limitation of the hijab (burqa).
He suggested that every Muslim who wants to wear the hijab have to ask permission, and pay 1000 euros per year for that privilege.
"We've been saturated with a headscarf. We do everything to reduce the use of the hijab. We've been drafting legislation to ban the burka," she said on the site rnw.nl.
The most common argument from the statement some observers linked this series of events, explained opendemocracy.net article on the site, marking yet strong foundation of tolerance and multiculturalism in society.
"As a consequence, the Dutch fear it would face an identity crisis. This requires a review again the essential principles in society, in order to promote tolerance in a stronger position," wrote the article.
Minimal Knowledge Is anti-Islamic sentiment became a common sight in today's society? An Islamic activist, Idries De Vries, see, in recent years, the Dutch public attitudes toward Islam does tend to be negative.
"That, among others, triggered the global Islamic revival that began to affect the dynamics in many countries, including Holland," he explained in situsatauaie. Cause so easily arise hatred can be traced from historical background. Idries suggests, although the relationship between Islam and the Netherlands has lasted longer and produce a variety of knowledge about Islam, many Dutch people in general who do not understand Islam correctly.
Crucial point is the variety of information of knowledge about Islam that was not less than 300 years, seems like the slanting ta difficult to access by ordinary citizens. Only certain circles who can get it.He gave an example, the library at leading universities, actually save a lot of information about Islam. "But, valuable manuscripts should therefore not be studied by ordinary people."
On the other hand, he added, among which have less access to information also use it to understand Islam correctly.
"So, the rise of anti-Islamic opinions due to a combination of public ignorance about Islam and the mentality of the academics who do not study Islam to seek the truth or to foster good relations with Muslims."
