I applaud the decision of appointing a man of Moroccan descent as mayor of the city of Rotterdam where the far right has spun out of control and where more problem areas exist than in any other city in the Netherlands, but I really do not like the choice of Ahmed Aboutaleb.

Aboutaleb was the man who told Muslims during a gathering in a Dutch Mosque on the day after Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh was stabbed to death, that “everybody” who did not share the Core Values of Dutch Society should leave on the next plane.

Well, a few more of him in governing positions and I better pack my bags too. Although I obey Dutch laws, I most certainly do *not* share Dutch Core Values. Unlike Mr. Aboutaleb I have only one passport, a Dutch passport, but in the last decade I have learned to despise this country more than any other country in the world. When asked where I come from, I answer Europe and not The Netherlands.

What are these Core Values actually?

Without listing them all; the two main Dutch values that made this country to what it is today are greed (a very Calvinistic virtue) and hypocrisy (fueled by Catholicism and Judaism). These two Core Values have created a nation that pirated the seas and shipped slaves, while slavery was forbidden by law in our own society. No need to elaborate on the greed, The Dutch have created a reputation as pathological cheapskates.

Even today with a country that is hardly visible on a world map our only real competition in the export of illegal narcotics is major league player Colombia. But we like the world to see us as happy freeloaders who invented gay marriage. Well, fuck the Dutch and fuck their Core Values.

In my vision Mr. Aboutaleb finished his integration course with flying colors. To me he is a puppet on a string, hired to control the Muslim society in Rotterdam. A sort of WW II kapo. For the outside world it looks as though we are tolerant enough to appoint a Muslim as mayor, while in fact we are trying to charm the anti-Muslim league by hiring a carefully brainwashed Muslim who has learned to spit on his own roots to make a career.
