His government proposed toughening up the laws against blasphemy, so that no-one else could say "my god is a pig, I call him allah" (famous Van Gogh quote) any more. If you ask me, those murdering jihad psychos have won.
Actually taking steps to curb blatant racism like that was a responsible action. People are not born hating others. If Dutch Muslims were raised in an environment where they constantly face comments which make them feel like crap, how do you think they would view people who are not just like them? Alienation radicalizes people, whether that be on a religious or secular level.

Eliminating causes of hatred in a country may seem like "giving in" to a few radicial elements in a certain faction, but in the long run it will be seen as using reason and logic.
