SOUNDING BOARD is an outlet for opinions on good and crazy things going on at home (wherever I may be). All are welcome. You are not expected to bring anything except your common sense & sense of humor.
'If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get one million miles to the gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.'

_____________________________________________
There is a controversial proposal in The Netherlands to impose that only the Dutch language should be spoken in mosques. The Dutch government may be missing a very important point here. Integration of immigrants in society is different from religious integration. The immigrants definitely need to learn Dutch if they want to be fully assimilated in the Dutch society, by way of opportunities to education and work, among others. However, religion is another thing. States must practice religious tolerance.
