The Netherlands, if they can keep their government together, will be at the forefront of the pushback against the Islamization of Europe. Consequently, I will post headlines from there with links to the full stories.
Cabinet member quits over colleagues’ "racist" positions after Amsterdam riots
State Secretary Nora Achahbar will tender her resignation to Prime Minister Dick Schoof later on Friday due to dissatisfaction over how the Cabinet handled the riots in Amsterdam following last week's Europa League match between Ajax and Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv, sources told NOS and ANP. Tensions arose during the first Cabinet meeting after the violence and unrest in the capital, when Achahbar's colleagues expressed opinions and positions which Achahbar considered to be racist remarks about people from ethnically diverse backgrounds, both media outlets reported on Friday afternoon
She will be the second member of Schoof's Cabinet to resign this month. The 42-year-old woman was born in Morocco, and has lived since a young age in the Netherlands, where her father was employed as a guest worker. She was on the 2023 election ballot as a NSC member, and was tapped as that party's state secretary at the Ministry of Finance for social benefits and the Dutch Customs office.
It's odd that she didn't know that the government she signed onto was antiIslamic when everyone in the rest of the world knew.

Amsterdam mosques condemn recent
violent incidents in the city
Several mosques in Amsterdam will condemn the recent violent incidents in the city. The El Oumma mosque in Amsterdam Nieuw-West will address the unrest in the usual Friday prayer. There were riots in the area this week. According to one of the board members, there will be calls to stop the misconduct, just like in other mosques.
"More than 80 percent" of the supporters of the El Oumma mosque are said to be unhappy with the violence surrounding Ajax's Europa League match against Maccabi Tel Aviv. "We think it is very bad. Setting a tram or a bus on fire makes no sense. We live in the Netherlands. This is our country, we just have to participate normally," said the spokesperson.

Police expect over 1,000 explosive attacks this year; No fatalities a "small miracle"
The number of explosive attacks in the Netherlands is increasing alarmingly and the police expect that 2024 will end with well over 1,000 such attacks committed in the year. The police called it “a small miracle” that, except for one person dying when an explosive he was placing went off early this year, there have been no fatalities. The police also reported that the number of assassinations is decreasing and that the gunmen are getting younger on average in its Violence and Organized Crime report.
The number of explosive attacks increased from 212 in 2021 to a massive 1,017 last year. So far this year, there have been 923 attacks. Over 70 percent of attacks took place in the Randstad, and more than a third in the cities of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and The Hague.
