    Definitely. It is Holland for sure! They saved civilization on earth through two world wars, recreated the world in its Christian capitalist image, won the cold war, became the world's policeman, hold 70% of the world's medical patents, freed 1.5 billion from libcommunism in China thus averting WW3, and are the last best hope for freedom from libcommie govt on earth!! Thank God for Holland!!

    Holland - the imperialist country that invaded and terrorized Indonesia for 300 years.

    Dutch invaders started numerous wars with Lenape tribes in what is now called NYC. They started the genocidal campaigns against Native Americans because they were imperialistic terrorists.

    Today women are left on the side of the road in the NL because busses won't let them ride with burqas on.
    I think that's a real shame on the NL but, I'm from and live in the UK, so it's not my place to tell the NL what they should do, it's the NL's place or the EU's.
    NL does something, if I don't like it, changes my opinion of the NL.

    While I condemn Holland's history of imperialism, I have to side with them on this issue as every society has a right to maintain peace and order within it according to its own standards. Here in Minnesota people are legally enjoined from wearing KKK outfits in public. The white head gear, like the burqas, are representative of a way of life that is deemed incompatible with the norms of society. There is nothing in the Bible that mandates white head/face cover. There is nothing in the Koran that mandates burqas. Here, white supremacists are free to harbor their aberrant beliefs at home. But they are not free to express such hate and mental instabilities in public. Muslims are free to practice their religion in Holland. But they cannot hide their faces as this is deemed to be a potential threat to the social order. If that is what they believe in that country and have laws to sustain it, then so be it. If anyone dissents, they have the courts as recourse to dispute that society's accepted standards.

    I wonder when Indonesia went Islam.

    I saw something on BBC News, a programme about tribes in Indonesia being documented and having a religion forced on them; and I wondered; When did Indonesia make the change from Dutch to Islam and how/why?
    I'm British, I know UK empire history more or less like USA 1776, Jamaica 1962 etc..

    The Dutch were responsible for setting up the international banking system back in the day, with correspondent banks and letters of credit. Plus they grow tulips and make gin, both of which are essential. Good chaps, really.

    Indeed.
    The Dutch Scales and Amsterdam were key to the civilised world I enjoy today.

    Where I've stayed in Amsterdam (to date) is where their stock exchange is today, a road called Beursstraat.

    I think (I may wrong) that brandy comes from a Dutch word which means burnt wine. The idea was that wine would be distilled to make transportation easier and then water would be added to reconstitute it. Then they tasted the stuff and decided not to bother...

    I'm not a fan of gin, but I love their recreational marijuana.

    The Dutch settled colonies in many nations but lost them all and soon they will lose their own nation to immigration.

    Britain is found in immigration, not lost.
    British empire was big.

    EU immigration is different, since these EU migrants weren't ever British subjects to begin with.

    That said, immigrants come from all over the world, from whatever country with whatever national history.

    Right so why isn't Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the Middle East found of immigration? No chrisitan churches or european culture welcome there. I'd hate to see a group of Christians try protesting in the streets of any of these ME nations for their rights.
    To be neighbors and trade and get along is one thing but the only reason islam is in these nations is to take over. And that is not an opinion it is a fact that comes from muslims. No two can live together unless they agree, proven since time began.

    Do you have any evidence to prove Islam was forced on Indonesians?

    As for Britain, it imposed depredations upon the Indian subcontinent that surpassed Hitler's evils in Europe. If your country was as benevolent as some might think, we Yanks would all be speaking with British accents.

    This was my source, more or less, but it aired on TV here a couple of times this week.

    I believe they were neutral during WWI, doing nothing to "save" civilization, and were invaded and taken over by the Nazis in 1940.
