Apostate Attacked

Hopefully this is not a portent of things to come, but the news that ex-Muslim Eshan Jami was attacked outside a supermarket near his home last Saturday does not leave me feeling particularly confident about the future. I’ve just got a copy of Paul Sniderman and Louk Hagendoorn’s When Ways of Life Collide, an examination of multiculturalism and its discontents in The Netherlands. The thesis is that the Dutch social policies that were designed to protect the distinct way of life of Muslim immigrants and promote tolerance are in fact breeding intolerance on both sides.

 

Time will tell.
