[quote=Anonymous]The mayor of Rotterdam, who is the son of a Moroccan imam and who immigrated to the Netherlands in 1976 said this, addressed to other Muslims in Europe.  He might be Dutch PM someday.

'It is incomprehensible that you can turn against freedom,' Mayor Aboutaleb told Dutch current affairs program Nieuwsuur (Newshour).
'But if you don't like freedom, for heaven's sake pack your bags and leave.
'If you do not like it here because some humorists you don't like are making a newspaper, may I then say you can f*** off.
"Vanish from the Netherlands if you cannot find your place here."

Mayor Aboutaleb, who represents the Dutch Labour Party, de Partij van de Arbeid, has long had a no-nonsense approach to immigration and integration.

Speaking to the Observer shortly after his appointment he said his message to immigrants is 'stop seeing yourself as victims, and if you don't want to integrate, leave'.

This week, London Mayor Boris Johnson hailed Mayor Aboutaleb as his 'hero'  and 'straight to the point'.
'That is the voice of the Enlightenment, of Voltaire,' Mr Johnson wrote in the Daily Telegraph.
'If we are going to win the struggle for the minds of these young people, then that is the kind of voice we need to hear - and it needs above all to be a Muslim voice.'
