Discrimination Monitor 2010: non-Western migrants on the Dutch labour market
Discrimination on the Dutch labour market is a reality. Why do some Dutch employers prefer to take on Mark as an employee rather than Mohammed? For this study the SCP interviewed 106 recruitment officers about their selection behaviour. The study also investigates whether any trends in discrimination can be observed, and if so, how they can be explained. A recurrent part of the Monitor also involves the compiling of an inventory of complaints and rulings about labour market discrimination.

Wilders drags up outdated colonial rhetoric
‘Why did you become anti-Islamic and what is your message to Muslims? These questions were asked by Muslimsdebate.com to the Dutch politician Geert Wilders. In his reply, Mr Wilders de-scribes Islam as fatalist, tyrannical, violent and irrational and as such as the cause of the lack of de-mocracy and development in the Muslim World. Only by liberating themselves from their religion, he says, Muslims will be able to develop their real potential. Guest author Michel Hoebink responds by arguing that Wilders’ argument is a perfect sample of 19th century ‘orientalist’ rhetoric.

Muslims and Anime Art
Anime is an old drawing style from Japan coming from the word ‘animation’ and manga is the comics and cartoons where this style is used. In this entry I explore Muslim anime and manga. While anime is in itself already a mix of different styles and genres it gets re-appropriated by people who give meaning to it throughout the world and by making new drawings and comics themselves with both global and local influences. It is in fact a continuing story of production, reproduction and re-appropriation by mixing styles and personal experiences under the label of anime.
