Aladdin Sane: I'd say the public opinion is slowly moving towards "the right". Especially with the cartoon row, and the reactions we see from Muslims living in Europe, people seem to feel it's gone too far. Politicians are starting to take notice, but that may have a lot to do with the upcoming (local) elections.
Nirvana: I'd say the parents aren't doing or saying anything. And it's mostly Maroccan vs Dutch. We don't have a lot of problems with Turkish kids. One of the reasons could be that a lot of the Maroccan immigrants came from a rather backwards, rural background, where kids are raised by the community. Often, the mothers don't have any power over their sons, while the father is too busy working. Hardly a situation where kids learn to distinguish right from wrong. A lot of these kids have a very twisted sense of morality, if they have any. To make matters worse, some of the parents don't really care that their kids are misbehaving, because the west is evil anyway.
