No, Frans, you really don’t understand

He wanted it before but now more than ever. Of course with the usual arguments: the Netherlands is Islamizing, so the police should reflect this, etc., the implication – while true and worrying – is that Muslims will listen to the law best when the law is represented by a judge. Muslim. However, Frans received more direct resistance from the audience than he could handle from former GroenLinks/PvdA voters @Elise Steilberg. And then the piece ends with the statement that 48% of his supporters currently (!) support the philosophical neutrality of the police, 28% disagree with this and 24% don’t know.

Anyway, let’s say you are one of the last few Jews in the Netherlands whose children can’t go to school because schools are closed again and instead of being heavily guarded, you want to report the vandalism because your poster of kidnapped Jewish children is yours. has been withdrawn, and then a Muslim woman wearing a hijab comes to take down your report. That’s a problem, and let’s take a closer look at that problem.

In fact, Judaism was a legal religion with no incentive to expand; this is an exclusive doctrine and we can pretend that there is such a thing as ‘conversion to Judaism’, but no one really believes that.

Then came Christianity, an almost non-legal doctrine in which the Emperor and God had their own domains, but was very expansion-oriented.

And then Islam appeared: a doctrine that was strictly legal and expansion-oriented.

Therefore, the hijab is a very different symbol to the yarmulke or the cross, and those symbols should not be mentioned together in this discussion at all. In contrast to the yarmulke or cross, the hijab essentially represents a social and constitutional order that is expansion-oriented and competitive. And it should have no place in the police apparatus of a secular government. Not that difficult, right?
