Mrs Verdonk gave warning that the †œtime of cosy tea-drinkingââ‚ ‚¬Ã‚ with Muslim groups had passed and that natives and immigrants should have the courage to be critical of each other. She recently cancelled a meeting with Muslim leaders who refused to shake her hand because she was a woman.

Good for her!
The Dutch have been having a lot of problems with muslims in the Netherlands and they are fed up with the situation. They have realised that their tolerant, open ways have been exploited and are actually sneered at by many muslims there. I'm not sure if the ban is a productive way to start to reform things though.
