Dutch Parliament Wants Imam Limits

THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- The parliament on Friday asked the government to draft legislation compelling Dutch mosques to employ only imams who have studied Islamic religion in the Netherlands.

The proposal, supported by the government and the opposition, came after a debate in which Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende's government was accused of underestimating Islamic terrorism and failing to protect a filmmaker killed by a suspected Muslim radical on Nov. 2.

2. Shows how fundamentalism kills a democracy...

The democracy undermines ITSELF, in the very act of fending off the assault.
