Education minister Arie Slob says “it is ‘completely unacceptable’ that teachers are put under pressure because they teach about the value of freedom of speech.”
Slob can, however, expect a great deal more of this pressure, thanks to the Netherlands’ acceptance of mass Muslim migration. It is inevitable that among the peaceful Muslims who enter the country, there will be some Muslims who believe that the Sharia provision that blasphemers must be put to death should be implemented in their new home.
“Rotterdam teacher in hiding after online threats in dispute over ‘blasphemous’ cartoon,” DutchNews.nl, November 5, 2020 (thanks to S.):
ANP Police in Rotterdam are investigating online threats made against a teacher who had hung a cartoon commenting on the attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January 2015 on his classroom notice board.
According to the NRC, the drawing had hung on a classroom notice board for some five years but it was not until the school – which has Catholic roots – held a memorial for murdered French teacher Samuel Paty, that it became a contentious issue.
Sources at the Emmauscollege told the paper that the situation in the school had soured after some teachers started discussions about the cartoon of Mohammed which had led a radical Muslim to murder Paty last month.
Then, the paper said, a group of girls demanded the teacher remove the picture from the notice board because, they said, it was blasphemy.
Despite the teacher’s explanation – that the cartoon was not of Mohammed but of a terrorist – the dispute continued on social media.
Police told the NRC that direct threats were made against the teacher, and that they were taking them very seriously….
The NRC says that more teachers at the school, which focuses on pre college and pre university streams, no longer feel safe and, according to its sources, the teacher in question has gone into hiding.
MPs and ministers on Thursday were united in their outrage, with education minister Arie Slob saying it is ‘completely unacceptable’ that teachers are put under pressure because they teach about the value of freedom of speech. The intimidation of teachers will not be tolerated in any way whatsover, Slob said. ‘We will take tough action against it.’
Meanwhile, over 100,000 people have signed a petition set up by imam Ismail Abou Soumayyah, which calls for insulting Mohammed to be made a criminal offence….
Keys says
In 2015 Five percent (5%) of the population in the Netherlands was Muslim.
One can imagine what the threats will be like when it gets to 15-20% !

The pollys seem to think that muslims have the potential to make great contributions to the west.
Search “world map average IQ”. China and Japan don’t think as above.

Funny coincidence or otherwise with –
Search “world map muslims”
Search “world map christians” or any other.
Search “effects of long term inbreeding of muslims” or “effects of long term inbreeding of christians”.

The lower IQ among Muslims due to IN-BREEDING
(marriage to First and Second Cousins, 50% of Cases,according to WIKISLAM),
is something Leftists who are for OPEN BORDERS, for Non-Stop entry of Muslims into EUROPE, Never Ever Mention.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
If the world economy doesn’t collapse before,in 20 YEARS no less than 50% of the World’s Jobs will DISAPPEAR.
Supposedly even jobs like LAWYER and DOCTOR and FINANCIAL ANALYST, so in what way will millions and millions of Muslims with low IQs contribute to Europe?
KURZWEIL says that according to MOORE’s Law,by 2045 the SINGULARIY will arrive: a computer having as much knowledge and thinking capacity as ALL humans combined.
WHAT IS ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE?
Artificial Intelligence is a Computer SOFTWARE that SELF-CORRECTS itself and LEARNS from its MISTAKES.
It gets More and More Intelligent with every error corrected.
No more need to have a HUMAN to find out what went wrong with the system,it corrects itself.
Software is essentially a series of INSTRUCTIONS, based on a Binary pattern: YES or NO, on/off, 0 and 1.
Christopher Watson says
“Artificial Intelligence is a Computer software that self-corrects itself and learns from it’s mistakes.”
Ah, so that’s what happened in the 2020 Presidential Election debacle.
revereridesagain says
Another argument for banning Muslim emigration to the greatest extent possible. What they do to each other in the confines of their own ideology and superstition-ridden homelands is not our problem until we foolishly decide to make it so by admitting hordes of them to ours.
Consanguinous marriage was a problem even in European royal families, to say nothing of the havoc its practice — taken to extreme lengths due to belief in “divine” royal siblings — wreaked on members of ancient Egyptian dynasties, such as the unfortunate “King Tut”.
Focus on the issue of IQ and the consequences relating from radical differences in IQ levels has long been a source of name-calling by those who characterize it as “racism” to ward off rational examination of the effects of inbreeding. And we continue to pay the price.
Kathleen Quinlan says
Also look up Organization of Islamic Cooperation. on WIKI Add up the total GDP of the 57 countries. Less that France. 1.6 billion people. Less that France. Nobel Prizes. Jews 131. [Less that 2% of the global population, about 14 million people]. Muslims have 14 Nobels. Culture or low IQ. Common sense says they should copy Jews not kill them.
Dude says
I think we really have to ask whether all the murder/rape/rob/enslave texts that seem to have originated in the Medina desert bandit gang era actually come from the caricature dude or were they just added by the thugs who abducted his religion to promote their gangster lifestyle.
Crusades Were Right says
Apparently, when the (supposedly) Islamic Arab Empire had just arisen there was no mention anywhere of “Islam”, “Muhammad”, “Koran”, etc. I’m guessing the Arabs just thought it would be a good idea to have a state religion (as did the Christian Byzantine Empire, for example) and so they invented their own.
“But what should this new religion involve, brothers?”
“It should include all the good stuff we like to do… you know… like rape and plunder and taking slaves, and that. If the one true god says it’s OK, well, who could argue it’s wrong? Oh, and it should be started by an Arab like us, so that all the conquered nations understand that we’re something special, dontcha know.”
“Brilliant!”
Etc…

Dachlan,
You’re not alone.
I have read Jihad Watch on a daily basis for the last five years and the feature articles often make me feel angry, sad – and depressed.
For clear thinking person, that should be the normal reaction.
But the alternative is worse – not knowing.
Having the proper knowledge base allows me to converse intelligently with family, friends, acquaintances, etc., for those willing to listen.
And I make an *attempt* to comment intelligently on selected feature articles – areas where I may be able to add some value to the conversation…

This is horrifying. And “moderate” Muslims, far from condemning this, are trying to crush freedom of speech there completly through “lawfare”.

The ”100,000” as in the number of signatures on the petition to make criticism of Islam a criminal offence shows how Lite Islam is in Holland.
Mount Zion says
Can you imagine , teacher goes into hiding but the once threathenig him walk free around even signing a petition to crush freedom of speech .I say make a counter petition that calls for the expulsion from the Netherlands of the 100.000 who signed the petition on the grounds that in a free society with separation of church and state their petition constitutes a threath for democracy.
newsupplements says
Support the teachers, instead of crippling them in their attempt to teach make it easier to report any pupil or group of pupils who are threatening them in any way. For heavens sake – get a grip!
newsupplements says
Have a public register of those who are known to be Islamic fundamentalists drawn up and placed in local newspapers so we know who they are and where they are! so we can protect ourselves.
newsupplements says
Support Islamophobia. It is good to know you are threatened for your life if that is the case which it patently is. One look at the exclamations and extorts to violence dropping like confetti from the mouths of noted Islamic so called dignitaries, even prime ruddy minsters shows you that this is the case. Over three quarters of the qu ran are commands as to what is to be done with the non Muslim and none of that is peaceful despite the existence of verses to the contrary which are from the founders first years of his “mission”
Fred van de Bunt says
The petition to make offence against Mohammed punishable by Dutch law has 124.000 signatures:
https://www.petities.com/strafbaar_stellen_beledigen_van_de_profeet
Important argument made by the petitioner are:
1) “Offence against Mohammed leads to tension in society” (leidt ook nog eens tot maatschappelijke spanningen). This is true, since it leads to numerous killing, threats to kill, lynch parties, tortures, and other bloodshed throughout history all over the world, coincidentally where Muslims live and where the Islam sharia laws reign.
2) “Muslims are structurally offended by offending Mohammed” (leidt tot …het structureel beledigen van moslims). Since Allah through Mohammed structurally offends every non-Muslim in the Quran, one might argue: “All the people of the world are structurally offended by Mohammed.” This would mean that the blasphemous Quran has to be banned.
Mount Zion says
Important argument against the petitioner are
1) Offence against mohammed according by a minority and Shariah Law is not an offence for your host country that has welcomed you and taken you in when you escaped the hell hole you came from.
2)Westerners are offended by people who are offended when a false prophet is offended . So let’s ban the Quran who demands to take action when Mo is offended so that westerner are not beeing offended by the offensive Quran who offends westerner ????

By the way, it seems not the only Dutch teacher that had to stop teaching after teaching free speech:
https://www.omroepbrabant.nl/nieuws/3292166/docente-staat-weer-voor-de-klas-nadat-ze-zich-bedreigd-voelde-om-mohammed-cartoon
Another small detail: the French Ambassador recently cannot walk without protection over the streets of the Hague, the city of the court of International Justice. This came to public attention in a column written about the strange (and growing Dutch) tradition under which victims are the ones that are blamed:
https://www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opinie/over-het-merkwaardige-gebruik-om-het-slachtoffer-de-schuld-te-geven~b98e8a3c/?utm_source=link&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=shared%20content&utm_content=free
Nowadays it is hard to draw any conclusions in the Netherlands about relevant societal developments, since Dutch government is as transparent about these developments as Fort Knox is about its gold deposits.

Thanks, Fred. Good to see that few Dutch want to crush freedom of speech. I wonder how many of these signatories are Muslim?

SSo unofficially no more Mohammed cartoons anymore at Dutch school and society, since nobody wants to end up on a hit-list of internationally operating killer squads, that have nothing to do with Islam. But what about other ways to teach?
A teacher at a lyceum asked students to write a newspaper article, and the teacher suggested some questions, that could be the subject of the newspaper article:
What does the freedom of religion mean for Muslims that execute attacks?
How can we protect ourselves against fundamentalism?
Why are attacks done in the name of Islam?
How come people believe in a religion that brings so much violence?
Why are there so many Muslim terrorists?
https://www.ad.nl/binnenland/school-neemt-afstand-van-vragen-uit-haatzaaiende-schrijfopdracht-over-islam~ab7c6298/
The rector of the lyceum distanced himself of this.
Parents went online saying “Holy God, what is this shitload?”
The Dutch political Islam party is going to ask questions about the questions in parliament.
The article in the Dutch newspaper reads “school distances itself of hate inciting questions during school task”.
fido says
Yep, the dutch are done for…just a matter of a few more years and a few more islamo-satanists.

We are witnessing the not-so-slow death of European culture and freedom of speech. If there is not a war to eliminate the islamo-satanist infection that the European people have themselves enabled then we will soon witness only the decayed remains of once great societies. Europe will become like the Middle East: weak, sick, dysfunctional dystopias complete with the horrible blaring of the muslim call to prayer squawking across the European landscape. The war needs to begin NOW!

Islam has been found to be incompatible with Western values in European Courts, Islam is not just a cult but a political state within a state, obeying an infernal body of legislation from the VI century. It behaves very similar to a virus in biology which not being a full blown state aims to take over the one it infects. It uses elements of our social contract against us like minority rights and democracy to impose tyranny in the fullness of time, this tyranny will have no minority rights and no other law.
There was another aspect to Islam, which were the conquering armies of the Calif and to go by what we have just seen in Syria and Iran such a state would be the enemy of all states and incompatible with the existence of any state with a different law, this doctrine is very sympathetic to what may be a political religion of Marxism. Both tyranny generating doctrines can walk together a long way in the practice of their ideology and this must not be ignored (Black Lives Marxists). A long time ago, when the Islam of the Calif, it was a very different system evolving in an advanced society way, and had the most advanced scientists but I won’t go in to this because that is not the way in which Islam has evolved ,it has stifled science and knowledge in the Islam of today there isn’t a Calif buying foreign books to increase knowledge, there is an Islamic State burning them.
What is so perplexing today with Holland, France and European nations is that a system which gives us PUBLICATIONS of so much aggression and insulting descriptions of those of us who reject it, Islam has no problems publishing all these evil things about us, and now should have the ignorant arrogance of “being offended” if all we reply to these politics of hate, is with some innocent, accurate political cartoons against the politician who said such bad political things about us and all what he proposes should be done with us and how we should be treated! We must not only stand with France, we must stand proactively with France if necessary we should all print the cartoons on to our currency!
After all, whose law should be observed and be sovereign in France?
Who has freedom to speak and publish in France? Only the Moslems?
Even though we reject these terrible ideas of Islam we allowed these heavily indoctrinated people to share in our society only to be told that we must come to heel and respect he who said these terrible things or else!
One solution: Japan doesn’t have jihady murderers because it protected its people from that threat, we should learn from Japan if we want freedom to prevail we may have to sacrifice a bit of it and ban tyranny

“…a group of girls demanded the teacher remove the picture from the notice board because, they said, it was blasphemy.”
Since when do pupils tell their teachers what to do?
When I was at school, it was the other way round.
Those school girls should be taught about the appalling historic crimes committed by religious zealots down the ages – such as the Spanish Inquisition, the burning of witches, the bloody wars of religion between Catholics & Protestants, not to mention the Crusades of course.
It is unbelievable that, in the 21st Century with all our technological advances, we appear to be going backwards towards a new dark age where blasphemy laws are reintroduced.
Gourdhead says
Enough of this crap. Set up a trap with the teacher as bait and dust any perps that show up.
