Last week politics.... is what I call "nothing talk" . I am ashamed to be Dutch. Because the Dutch Government is 'with their freedom of speach' , going way too far!!!!! I think 'one can discuss most things but not this personal, NOT when you are in the government.... than one should be wiser" . Now some call others for vague reasons.
The discussion was about this:
A member /politician of the Nationalist party, (PVV = Party for a free country:thats how they call themselfs) they were the whole last week in the news by saying that2 members of the government (1th 2th room) wich are from 'another birthcountry' ( and having 2 passports) , shouldn't be a member of the government because of that. I don't understand this opinion. The real reason for this 'understatement' is that Party's fear for the Moslim religion, they doesn't want Moslims to be a member of our Government, also best would be that most Moslims better leave our country, all people should have 1 passport. ( they think that maybe all Moslims are terroristst, wich isn't true) ) So their opinion is that this members should have just 1 (Dutch) passport, or better leave the Politics, because now they were not good for our country. I really felt (and still feel) very uncomfortable by this politic meaning. In Holland is " having the "freedom of a meaning & speach" , very & typical Dutch. But even in a democratic country and freedom of speach, there are limits. Above opinion is not my meaning, I disagree with that and I am glad that most people disagree.
Whats my opinion: All people should have the freedom to choose their own religion, and they should have the freedom to keep their 2 passports when thats their personal feeling/wish. We should respect each others religion and not fight with each other, out of the name of 'whatever religion' , everybody/you choose your own religion, what fits you. With emigration: You keep your birth-county passport, when you feel like that. We should love and respect each other , no matter what background (or county you come from) they or you have. We are all eagle, we are all the same, but you may feel free to choose different. People of other cultures, you are welcome in our Country, we also love your different style's of food: Italian, Chinees, Indonesian, African, France,etetera..... we learn also from each others religion-food-culture-lifestyles ...
Whats your opinion about the above 2 points?

I value your appreciation for different cultures and faiths.
The following is my take on it:
As you know, Theo and I both are from Holland and have been living in Canada.
We became Canadian citizens as soon as we were able. We have therefore a Canadian passport. Why would you keep ties with your birth country? If the country you adopt is good for living, you become like the people, you adopt their culture or else get out.
As a matter of fact Theo also needed to become a Canadian Citizen in order to get a job in Credit Management for which he had to study at the university.
I think Holland has become far too lenient with their immigrants.

Hi Truus, Your point of view is interesting me, I am trying to form my opinion ( by orientating )of "what to think" about this identity subject.
One friend is living in France & kept her Dutch Job + D-passport, Another Dutch person is living &working in Fr but changed into the France identity/+passport.
The Dutch Government is paying right now more attention to this subject, Fact is: that people coming from (Africa) "Marocco" are NOT able by their government, to hand-in their passports. So that people have not a choice at all, so they have to keep 2 passports. Thats now-a-days the discussion in our Government: what should we do with that fact? Thats not so easy.
