New attacks on mosques and schools
• Racist slogans as well as symbols (White Power, swastika) were painted on the walls of a mosque and the city hall in Veendam. • Police discovered a small fire in a church in Utrecht. Fortunately, only a chair got damaged. I'm not sure it's a coincidence the church was on the Marokkodreef, which means Morocco Drive. • An attempt to burn down a church in Rotterdam failed due to bad throwing and molotov cocktail making skills on behalf of the arsonist(s). • An attempt to attack a mosque in Venray was scotched by the police.

I hope you mean that the attempt on the mosque in Venray was PREVENTED by the police. "Botched by the police" means that the Police were the ones doing the attacking. Although I could believe the Belgian Police capable of attempting to attack a mosque, and very capable of botching it, I have a lot more confidence in the Dutch.

Whoops! Considering I just got complimented by another reader on my command of colloquial English, this is a tough one to swallow ;-) I'll change it, it should have been 'scotched'. Thanks for trusting the Dutch ;-)

"Thwarted" might be an even better verb. Wouldn't want to offend the Scots, after all. :)

Vaara: as you can see on the right hand side of the screen (beneath 'Zwijgen'), I drink (Irish) whiskey. That's probably more offensive than any verb could ever be ;-)
