This news story fairly gobsmacked me. Has it really gotten this blatant? Overt extortion, paying protection money, an advance on the annual jizyah — call it what you will, this is an ominous trend.
Does the Gouda municipality really think this tactic will reduce the level of violence committed by culturally enriched “youths”?
According to NIS News:
Municipality Pays Moroccans in Exchange for Peace- - - - - - - - -
GOUDA, 17/02/10 — Gouda local council has given criminal Moroccan teenagers money to stop causing trouble. “We wanted to prevent matters from escalating further,” said the council yesterday.
Some dozens of young Moroccans waylaid and robbed passers-by in December. They were ‘bought off’ by the municipality to keep them off the street around New Year’s Eve. They received a combined 2,250 euros, shoved into an envelope, to organise a party, De Telegraaf reported yesterday.
Gouda has confirmed that it paid the troublemakers. “We wanted to prevent maters from escalating further. The youngsters themselves had presented a budget for the party. They had to say how much money they needed for hiring a disc-jockey, a bite to eat and drinks. For us, it was important that it should be quiet in the district around the turn of the year.”
According to the council, it had to act quickly. “Although the money was handed over in cash, it was well-spent. Everyone was happy afterwards. We also gave five Moroccans a gift voucher for a book shop afterwards as a thank-you,” says a spokeswoman.
Gift voucher for a book shop? Does the shop in question carry The Protocols of the Elders of Zion?
This will not end well.

It seems to me that this is designed to encourage unrest. The Righteous must give the people something to hate.
Divide and conquer.
Hopefully, Muslims, Christians and othertheists will see this for what it is, and unite. The Righteous will hate that.
Crime pays!
I hope this same Council's equalities section publishes a user friendly leaflet guide to "Waylaying and Robbery"?
I'd be banned -- and possibly prosecuted -- for writing this on a French website, but that much is getting more obvious by the day :
We. Need. Guns.
I got nauseous reading about europeans paying jizya - for real. Now I have to go barf.
It's the same as paying the Somali pirates, or the US and UK paying the Taliban. That lesson ought to have been learned two hundred years ago with the Barbary pirates. The only way to combat these scum is with superior firepower... but of course Obama's pissing all that away too. It makes me sick.
What happened to "if you pay the Danegeld, you won't get rid of the Dane"? I know this largely refers to English history with Viking invaders, but England wasn't the only area hit by them. Normandy, anybody?

I would help you all out if had enough. As far as I am concerned one can never have enough firepower
or weapons.
This was a really bad thing to do.
It is like people feeding the bears. Once they find out how easy it is they will keep coming back until they are(relocated), deported, or removed from the equation on a more permanent level.
This is no different.
No, we have not learned form the Barbary pirates, Somalian pirtaes, etc. Peace through superior firepower and the balls to use it when threatened or needed. We had that, once upon a time...
