Dutch plan to curb Muslim migrants

Finally the Dutch are doing something about Islamic immigrants:

People applying to live in the Netherlands will have to take an examination to prove that they understand the language and culture, the government has proposed.

The test will require 350 hours of study and cost £250.

It is the latest sign of the growing hard line on immigration after decades in which Holland has been one of Europe's most relaxed nations.

Murders and death threats from Muslim extremists have been matched by rising assaults on immigrants and arson attacks on mosques.

There are now nearly a million Muslims in the Netherlands, or six per cent of the population.

Better late than never I guess.
