Attack on gay model by Muslim teens fuels Dutch anti-immigrant sentiment

“This shows how strong the Islamic gay bashers feel they are…. The Dutch nationality of the gay bashers of Rembrandt Square should immediately be taken from them and they should be expelled from the country today…. The Netherlands can show no mercy for these people who damage our society in this way. Either they will win, or we will win.”
