Yes, Netherlands was (still is?) extra tolerant towards minorities, not only ethnical, but towards gays or lesbians, or the well known tolerance towards soft drugs.

Maybe it's just at soccer games, but you guys may want to look up some of the chants, tension, etc that goes on at Dutch soccer games and within the national team. I was utterly shocked when my friend told me what people were chanting at at the game I went to about 5 years ago during a trip. Also, look up something along the lines of 'Dutch Pillar Society'. Religious segregation was institutionalized until the '70's and there is a pretty strong anti-Semitic subculture (anecdotal from my friend, but there seems to be a fair bit on Google about it).

Obviously we in the west are at fault for causing this fanatical Islamic character to go off the deep end and shoot this Dutch guy, then slit his throat, and leave a threatening message! If we weren't so tolerant about giving people freedom of speech this would never have happened.
How DARE this Van Gogh guy criticize the Moslem faith!!!
