Discriminatie: Welles – Nietes

Er is nogal wat discussie over het SEO onderzoek De onderkant van de arbeidsmarkt vanuit werkgeversperspectief. Dit onderzoek zou uitwijzen dat opleiding veel belangrijker is dan afkomst voor de motivatie van een werkgever om iemand wel of niet aan te nemen. Wouter Bos gelooft het domweg niet en doet nogal badinerend over het onderzoek. Onderzoeksbureau E-quality verwerpt ook de uitkomsten en verwijst daarbij naar een onderzoek van Regioplan dat duidelijk zou aantonen dat discriminatie wel bestaat.

Laten we eerst eens kijken naar het SEO-onderzoek en dan het Regioplan onderzoek er naast leggen. (more…)

Cursing, incitement to hatred and internal politics

Several blogs have reported already about the sermon delivered by imam Fawaz Jneid of the As Soennah mosque, a Salafi mosque in The Hague. In this sermon he cursed Hirsi Ali and Van Gogh in a very brutal manner. One of the attendants was Mohammed B.; yes the guy who killed Van Gogh. According to Radio Netherlands (I suggest you read that article!):

In the recording of the sermon, Imam Fawaz calls Theo van Gogh a ‘criminal bastard’ and beseeches Allah to visit an incurable disease upon the filmmaker. He also condemns former Dutch MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali who was involved in writing the script for Submission. The imam asks Allah to make Ms Hirsi Ali go blind and give her cancer of the tongue and brain.

Two questions that immediately emerge is why do other Muslims not distance themselves from people like this imam and is this a hate speech? (more…)

In Memoriam: Theo van Gogh

Today it is two years ago that Theo van Gogh has been assasinated by Mohammed B. Although there is no offical commemoration of his death, several webmagazins today are dedicated to Theo van Gogh, his death and his legacy. Very impressive is Peaktalks week of Van Gogh. In several articles Pieter Dorsman pays attention to the film Submission I and his relationship with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the monument for Theo van Gogh, the threat to free speech, the investigation of the attack and he has written a review of Buruma’s book Murder in Amsterdam. The articles might not all be really objective but in general they are fair and balanced.

One of the things that stands out of course, and Dorsman is very clear in that, is the issue of free speech. He quotes one of my favorite writers at Spiked,  Munira Mirza, who wrote:

Controversial issues require heated debates, not conformity of opinion. Projecting the worst-case scenario of race riots can end up encouraging a form of self-censorship. If people are given scare stories about public reaction, they may be less likely to stick their head above the parapet. This allows ill-informed opinions to reign and prejudices to fester. We need to have a much more positive conception of free speech, particularly the kind that ruffles feathers and arouses passions. A healthy democracy can only work if people are not afraid to disagree, even if that means taking a not-very-gentle tone.

Patrick Pouw heeft gesproken met Redouane Boughabe, broer van één van de Hofstad-leden Fahmi. Het is niet de eerste keer dat deze jongen de krant haalt, het verhaal is min of meer hetzelfde hoewel Pouw er beter in is geslaagd de drijfveren van deze jongen weer te geven.

Negatieve verhalen over zwarte scholen krijgen ten onrechte veel aandacht. Je kunt je kind er best naartoe sturen.
