Dutch school replaces Easter tradition with celebration of Islamic Sugar Holiday

The Theo Thijssen school in Amsterdam decided to replace the traditional Easter breakfast with the celebration during the Islamic Sugar Holiday, newspaper De Telegraaf reports.

According to the school “it wants to give more attention to traditions of other cultures”.
A letter from the school came into the hands of Dutch news outlets Geenstijl and Powned. The letter says that several day care volunteers will help during this year’s Islamic Sugar Holiday.
During the celebration of the Islamic holiday, the children in class will be told what the feast is and why it is being celebrated. “This way we hope to celebrate a different holiday with the children,” the letter says.
The development at the Amsterdam school fits within a framework that parts of the city are Islamising quickly or in mainstream media terms: Making room for diversity.
In August this year it became clear how an Amsterdam mosque harboured radicalised Muslims who wanted to join Isis.
Another eye opener is that a Muslim majority party is the largest in the ‘Nieuw West’ part of the city. Their leader even told Dutch people to leave their country if they don’t like diversity.
The party sometimes defends Turkish President Erdogan’s policies and refused to recognise the Armenian genocide as well.
How parts of Amsterdam Islamised in a few decades becomes clear in an article written by a highly educated inhabitant who had to move from a suburb.
“The house I was living in overlooked a school playground. Around 2005, I first noticed young girls of around 6 years of age being garbed in totally black, full-body covering dresses, including black head scarves.
Nearly all the mothers, with a few exceptions, wore headscarves and dark full-body covering dresses. It truly looked like a scene from Iran or Pakistan. But it certainly was no longer the same Dutch neighbourhood as when I had moved in”, he said in his article.

Other cultures need to give in to the traditions of the country they are living in!

Muslim party leader in the Netherlands tells Dutch to leave their country if they don’t like diversity

By Voice of Europe 11 July 2018

Tunahan Kuzu, the political leader of the DENK party in the Netherlands, has caused some serious controversy, Dutch broadcaster NOS reports.
“If they don’t like a changing Netherlands in which people with different cultures live… like in the city of Zaandam or the neighbourhood of Poelenburg, they should get lost,” Kuzu says in an interview.
Kuzu’s DENK party is a controversial party that is rapidly growing in Dutch urban areas. It especially performs well in areas with high Muslim populations, for example in western Amsterdam (Amsterdam Nieuw-West).
In the latest Dutch national election, in March 2017, DENK won three seats grabbing almost 200,000 votes. One year later, in the municipal elections, the party was by far the largest in ‘Amsterdam Nieuw-West’ and swept away some of the traditional leftist parties.
DENK was founded in February 2015, by two former Turkish labour party (PVDA) members: Tunahan Kuzu and Selçuk Öztürk. Both did not agree with the party’s integration policy.
During the latest meeting with their former party PVDA, Selçuk Öztürk even said during an argument: “May Allah punish you!”
Some Dutch media say DENK has a pro-Erdogan signature. For example DENK was the only party in Dutch parliament who did not want to recognise the Armenian genocide.
