I'm from the Netherlands. That may sound like a weird statement to start a column with-- don't worry, at the end of this week's Sunday Eve Column you'll understand why I put my nationality so bluntly up front.

Yes, but english may not be my first language so perhaps I had some trouble expressing what I wanted to say. But coming form Germany I have a very clear understanding what both racism and fascims means.
Statistics! Dont make me laugh! Fearmongering and promting intolerance more like it. Dont trust satistical data that you didnt make up yourself.
As I said before: This is a tech site and so dubiously argumentation should not be used.

Both Fortuyn and van Gogh where neofascist dicriminating people because of thier race and religion.
Wowow, be careful there. Fascists? Look up that word to see what it means, before you use it. Rascism? Maybe, but is pointing out mere statistical facts (namely, that Islam women are more prone to abuse by their husbands (Van Gogh) or that relatively speaking foreigners commit more crimes (Fortuyn) racism?
Remember, for instance, that Fortuyn was a homosexual, and that he actually wanted to pardon the 26000 illegal immigrants currently in the Netherlands-- contrary to our current government, who wants to throw them all out.
Look, I wasn't fan of the two either-- but you should really know what you are talking about before incorrectly using terms such as 'fascist' or 'racist'.
