This however not the case, as the intent is to remove an unworkable blasphemy law with a maximum sentence of 3 months jail, and replace it with a reworking of the law against race/age/sexual discrimination, which carries a maximum sentence of 12 months. So there is an agenda here. The minister responsible is a member of one of the two christian parties that together with the Dutch Labour Party (PvdA) currently form the ruling coalition.

First Green succeeded in pissing off enough people to get Britain’s abolished and now (some) Muslims have caused enough pain for the Dutch to chuck them out.

Fuck ’em – they reap what they sew.
