But the discourse certainly was. And the support that banning "rituele slacht" garnered among the politicians was far greater than it would have been if Muslims weren't an issue. <br /><br />Plus, of course, there is the by now well-known tendency of the Dutch to weep over the victims and causes du jour.The back of the hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564245223453467132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-86314211469955924902011-06-29T22:42:38.984+03:002011-06-29T22:42:38.984+03:00I say we start a boycott of Dutch products ...I say we start a boycott of Dutch products ...Realrightwingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-9980067068984891872011-06-29T19:22:48.093+03:002011-06-29T19:22:48.093+03:00I honestly doubt its antisemitism.

Maybe they havent gotten to hunting yet, or are working on it as well, or thats a harder battle for them to win (imagine trying to ban hunting in the US).<br /><br />It seems more like a misguided (would you rather be tased to death or beheaded?) approach to reducing cruelty, supported by Wilders as an attack on Islam, forgetting that it affects Jews also. How many Gentiles know how our slaughter works? Its easy to overlook.Lironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973658014756233401noreply@blogger.com
