Netherlands was considered the greatest example in race relations in the past. But the Van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker, murder changed everything. Now being a Muslim and being a foreigner is very difficult in the country. Muslims in Netherlands have been under racist attacks since the murder of Van Gogh. Latest attack came Sunday and a group of youths smashed windows of a mosque in the southern Netherlands.
