Dutch Mohammed T-shirts

Order them here.

Broadsheet NRC Handelsblad quotes the owner of the web store, Mr. Molenwijk, as saying that two Muslims are involved with this enterprise.

It's a smart ploy, since orange is the Dutch national color, and almost everyone in the nation is known to wear something orange during soccer championships. Americans will probably be unaware of this, but the World Soccer Championship is coming up this summer, and to add to the friendly nationalist zeal this always inspires in the Dutch, it takes place in Germany, which is pretty much the arch enemy of the Dutch soccer 'elftal' (team).

It will be interesting to see how many soccer fans will be wearing these shirts in the summer.

Vaara, you've been here a long time and know the compulsiveness with which the Dutch attempt to show off their proficiency in English. Present company excluded ;-)

Also, this way German soccer hooligans can make out the text on the T-shirt before their heads are bashed in with Dutch wooden shoes.
