My apologies, dear reader, for not putting up a round-up over the weekend as promised. Things have been rather hectic on my end. However, in the interests of staying consistent ( kinda sorta ), here’s the mid-week round-up segment that I introduced last week.

Radio Netherlands Worldwide – Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Wilders channels anger:
Ayaan Hirsi Ali has returned to the Netherlands with the same message as when she left: Islam needs its own period of ‘Enlightenment’. Ms Hirsi Ali is back for one week to promote her most recent book, Nomad. It’s her first substantial visit since leaving the Dutch parliament four years ago to live in the United States.
Her main point still is that Muslim integration into Dutch society can only succeed if Muslim immigrants fully embrace Dutch values and leave their own values behind. The two systems of thought cannot be combined.
“The idea that the two can be combined is why the problem has lasted so long, and become so entrenched as to be nearly intractable: people have contradictory expectations.”[…]
Wilders good
In her criticism of Muslim integration, the former Dutch conservative VVD party MP echoes many of the ideas of Geert Wilders, once her VVD colleague and now leader of his ‘own’ Freedom Party (PVV). Mr Wilders’ party is likely to become one of the largest, if not the largest, in the country after the general election on 9 June.He is currently on trial facing charges of inciting hatred toward Muslims. Ms Hirsi Ali disagrees. She says that on the contrary, Mr Wilders is preventing violence by allowing a segment of the population to channel their anger by voting rather than rioting. Wilders is good for the Netherlands she says.
But she also criticises the Freedom Party leader for raising false expectations.
“I have also learned that you have to translate political proposals into policy, and my critique for Geert Wilders is that his proposals have raised expectations that cannot be translated into policy.”
Ms Hirsi Ali portrays herself as more pragmatic than Mr Wilders.

Radio Netherlands Worldwide – Dutch PM slams Wilders as “irresponsible”:
Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende has lashed out at far-right politician Geert Wilders for insulting Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
At a recent news conference in London, PVV leader Wilders called the Turkish PM “a total freak”. In his weekly TV interview, Prime Minister Balkenende denounced Mr Wilders’ slur as “absolutely irresponsible”. “One may disagree with policies, but it is unacceptable in international diplomacy to use these sort of terms. If the Netherlands is going to operate in this style, the country will face big problems,” the PM stressed.
Mr Balkenende warned that statements such as the one made by Mr Wilders could harm employment and companies in the Netherlands.

One of the Freedom Party’s stated aims in Almere is a ban on headscarves in the council house and other publicly-funded institutions.
Ayse Bayrak-de Jager said: “I became a Muslim and I chose to wear a headscarf. My headscarf is part of my identity and I’m not taking it off. I only take my clothes off for one man and that’s my husband.”
