She claimed that it was "un-Islamic" for a woman to touch a man. Questions abound as to how a police officer of any religion was going to be able to function without touching other people (such as male suspects)? A similar matter occurred in an English town recently where the public swimming pool was shut to non-Muslims, so that women could swim in the absence of non-Islamic men. In the fall of 2006, The Dutch government announced plans for legislation banning full-length veils in public places and other clothing that covers the face -- putting the Netherlands at the forefront of a general European hardening toward Muslim minorities It’s clear that conservative Islam is incompatible with western culture. Countries like Holland could be overwhelmed unless it demands assimilation of all immigrants.

It’s clear that conservative Islam is incompatible with western culture. Countries like Holland could be overwhelmed unless it demands assimilation of all immigrants.
