I'll be passing thru Holland at Christmas. Sad to see that the extremists have chosen to attack one of the most tolerant countries on Earth. I know it's not the mainstream Muslims that are involved in this. But what's the difference? Here in the US, moderate Christians have been unable/ unwilling to speak out against the radical clerics (Robertson, Bob Jones et.al.) in this country, so how is the lack of moderate Muslim outrage any different?
