Let this be an attack by a locally grown Belgium criminal. After a bunch of Islamic anti reform activists from Belgium hijacked a debate about democracy in the Middle East this weekend, Belgium Muslims are having a very tough time (well, tougher than it is on a regular basis already). The debate, which was held in Amsterdam, had two prominent Muslim political experts discussing with the public the possible paths that democracy might take in Middle Eastern countries. These activists travelled all the way from Belgium (well, just a couple hundred kilometers, it’s not that much of an effort in any case), carrying banners stating stuff like “Sharia4Belgium” and “Sharia4Holland”.
That this is an insignificant number of trouble makers has not stopped people like Geert Wilders from making more bombastic statements (as it is bound to happen).
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
