\nOman and the museum management wish to demonstrate that The Netherlands holds “ample opportunities for intercultural cooperation”. According to a statement, they believe in “a society where cohesion and trust is stronger than mistrust and sometimes even hate”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nIslamists don’t see this as “cooperation” but capitulation. Speaking of Christians calling God, “Allah”<\/a> this former Muslim makes a similar point:<\/p>\n

The other thing this tactic misses is that Islam sees itself and desires to steadily advance its cause and rule globally. Everywhere people and countries and cultures make concessions in the name of tolerance and plurality, we do so to an illiberal expansionist ideology. It’s a tragic and dangerous mistake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
