Islam is finding it very difficult to beat modern Dutch society. Muslima's are wanting to be treated the same as other Dutch girls.
The boys are going back home. Next year it will be harder as non-EU citizens have to pay for the citizenship course and the Dutch state exams for people with Dutch as a second language. Total cost is €10,000 per person. They have to pass those exams or otherwise it is bye bye.
I did think many will stay around.
