The War on Christmas Is Never Out of Season
The War on Christmas grinds on, even in June:
AMSTERDAM, 06/06/08 - Amsterdam municipal transport company (GVB) bus-drivers and tram personnel cannot celebrate Christmas any more. GVB is axing the event to please Muslims, newspaper de Telegraaf suggested yesterday.
Personnel association VTN has been told by GVB management that "the multicultural representation of the colleagues at the Christmas party is too one-sided." Supposedly, GVB meant to say that only white GVB staffs have been attending the annual event organised by management in the past years. It has therefore halted its financial contribution to the Christmas party.
"We have a limited budget and want to organise something that is intended for everyone," said GVB spokeswoman Brit Wijkniet. "Perhaps a New Year drinks party."
Someone needs to tell Brit that alcohol will be the next thing to go after Christmas.

The dumbasses. Muslims don't drink alcohol. What will the new continent be called? Northern Iran?

Gee, and I thought it was called "multi-" culturalism. The "multi" would include Western civilization, one would think -- apparently not.
So why don't you Nederlanders just go ahead and submit, and call it "Mono-culturalism," that is, Islam or nothing, since that's where you're headed anyway.
Actually, the better word would be "suicide."
