Thoughts?

Sounds like the guy is a right regular racist - dutch equivilent of the BNP.

It is really stupid... in Frances case banning signs of religion reduces the sort of first minute judgements people make when they see or meet others which is fair enough - what effect it has goodness knows. In this case they basically want to ban any people of eastern decent and their religions - so much for tolerance heh

This guy is an idiot if he thinks banning the Koran is the way to lessen Islamic extremism. No chance of this passing.

So they're saying to ban it because of the text:

"He said some verses instruct Muslims "to oppress, persecute or kill Christians, Jews, dissidents and non-believers, to beat and rape women and to establish an Islamic state by force."

Well I've never had any muslims try to oppress or kill me for being a non believer in Islam. How about we ban the bible too, for being violent. How about banning all films and books while we're at it.

Its a good opportunity for the Dutch government to slap him down though.

Lets ban the Koran but not just stop there, ban the bible and any other religious texts as well.

Then the world would truly be a better place

If it was anyone else, I would think they're joking. But not you.

Does this guy realise that millions of people read the Koran without feeling the need to blow themselves up? When the odds of anything are that low it's a fair bet there's other factors involved.

Has The Netherlands banned other books?

I laughed out loud when I saw the thread title and the story, then it dawned on me that there seriously was this guy trying to get the koran banned. Jesus allah budha! WTF?
