By Selwyn Duke Is the Netherlands becoming a netherworld of Islamic extremism? If a new poll can be believed, this very well may be the case. The research, conducted by the Motivaction group in Amsterdam, concerns the attitude of Dutch Turks between the ages of 18 and 34 about the Islamic State (also known as…
