That means that the Netherlands is not going to do anything to address the problem of jihad activity within the country, or reconsider its policies of mass Muslim migration, since opposing jihad terror and Sharia oppression, as well as mass Muslim migration, is universally considered “intolerant.”
“Utrecht shooting: Rutte urges Netherlands to stand up to ‘attack on our society,’” Dutch News, March 18, 2019:
Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte has said the Netherlands will ‘not yield to intolerance’ after a shooting on a tram in Utrecht left at least three people dead.
Another nine were injured in the incident on the 24 Oktoberplein, near the city’s main railway station, at around 10.45am on Monday, according to the city’s mayor, Jan van Zanen.
Police have issued a photograph of the suspect, 37-year-old Gökmen Tanis, apparently taken in the tram shortly before the shooting….
Van Zanen said in a video address on Twitter: ‘We are assuming that there was a terrorist motive’. He added that although one suspect had been named, ‘we cannot exclude there being others.
‘Attack on civilisation’
Speaking at a press conference in the afternoon, Rutte said: ‘Our country has been shocked today by an attack in Utrecht. There are injuries and possibly fatalities. A terrorist motive has not been ruled out. ‘Violence has left innocent people badly hurt. Our thoughts are with them and their nearest and dearest, whose lives have been abruptly turned upside down today.
‘An act of terror is an attack on our civilisation, on our open and tolerant society. ‘If this is confirmed as a terrorist act, there is only one suitable answer: our society, our democracy, is stronger than fanaticism and violence. We will not yield to intolerance. Never.’ …

Meanwhile, Islamic intolerance of the kafir is OK. They are looking the other way to court Muslim votes and Arabian cooperation in the oil industry.
Meanwhile, the jihad goes forward.
Meanwhile, the jihadists laugh at the Dutch politicians for making their work so easy.

Agreed %100!!!!!!

Brilliantly put Mort..

They laugh, and sane people SHOULD be intolerant of these acts of Islamist terror. How is it noble to tolerate such brutal violent crimes and the philosophy that spawned those acts?
Jule Bacal says
Tolerance of intolerable acts and teachings is NOT what a FREE COUNTRY IS SUPPOSED TO DO. FREE countries are intolerant of the intolerable acts and teachings. That is what makes them free. Free is not anarchy. Free means SAFETY of all of us. Muslims, nazigroups, Supremacists will not give up their unfree beliefs for real safety & Freedom. I think the problem they have is 1) not reading the Qur’an/hadiths, realizing it is for TODAY not just 600AD but Today, or listened to sermons Today AND 2) they have deep economic investments in muslim countries and do not want to lose any Private profits

Rutte surely meant *their” intolerance. The worm is turning so slowly we’re not yet primed to spot any change.

I’m pretty sure he meant any “intolerance” against Islam–the religion of blood and death.
Seth says
Rutte, May, Merkel, Ardern, Trudeau, almost the entire Democratic Party and large swathes of the Republicans…the greater and more insidious enemy.
Sam says
Agreed %100!!!!!!
Rick Dietz says
Wasn’t life so much more simple without Muslims around? They lived there, we lived here; now we have to have anti-terror paramilitary teams on standby 24/7 everywhere never knowing where the jihadis will attack next. WTF?

So true.

What a waste of the normally productive part of the world.

Murder is not intolerance but criticism of murderers is. Another instance of Dutch courage is soon to follow in the Netherlands.

Grimly spot on.
Michael Copeland says
Oh yes, intolerance…..

Saying you will not yield to ‘intolerance’ might need to be elaborated.
Intolerance to what?
To say you will not yield to intolerance of a violent, supremacist religion taking over your society, is just another way to say that you surrender.
Phil Copson says
Presumably New Zealand PM Jacinda Adern, Dutch PM Mark Rotter, Theresa May and the rest of the “usual suspects” are even now hurrying to the scene dressed as Archbishops ready to “stand shoulder-to-shoulder” with Christians, eager to denounce the “vile and hate-filled Right-wing ideology” that motivated the killers ?
Or possibly not…..
infidel says
Aaaaaah,,, that stunt by the NZ PM in that hijaab was just plain disgusting…..When the leaders themselves become Dhimmis… When was the last time the leader of a Islamic country dressed as a Khafir to show solidarity with victims of Jehaad?? Can’t expect these little mercies?? Can We?
James Lincoln says
This bears repeating…
Philosopher Karl Popper defined the paradox of tolerance in 1945 in “The Open Society and Its Enemies”…
“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.”

What Mr. Rutte really means to say with his platitudes is this: If this is confirmed as a terrorist act, there is only one suitable answer: surrender.

Intolerance, no. Stupidity, not a problem.

Lol. Nice.

People are murdered, but let’s get on that intolerance bit. Spineless Politicians suck!

“We will not yield to intolerance.”
Newsflash: Too late dimwit. As with most of the western political class, you already have.
There is a name for these types, menace to society.
janwog says
Typical Leftists always claim no yield to intolerance for covering the cause leading to Jihad. The Left is against their own community, the ideology of betrayal.
skeen66 says
We must be “tolerant” of all immigrants, regardless of their anti-social behavior. How do we know that the ones from Africa, the Mideast, and even from Turkey, Pakistan and Malaysia, aren’t coming to Europe, so they can plan to send a probe to Pluto, and plant a street sign on its surface? Given enough time to assimilate and learn, and collect enough cash, they’d be able to outshine those Westerners and whites who landed probes on the surfaces of Titan and Mars. Who are we to judge them just because they behave like homicidal beasts?
Steve says
Duh U fools you already did give into intolerance….the intolerance of Christan Religion while licking the boots of both Political Correctness and the Subjugation to Islam.
