| Amsterdam to Study Gay Bashers |
| 2007-12-01 |
| With the number of homophobic attacks rising in the Dutch metropolis, Amsterdam officials are commissioning a study to determine why Moroccan men are targeting the city's gays. Quick: To the Studymobile! This month, Mayor Job Cohen commissioned the University of Amsterdam to conduct a study on the motives behind the hate crimes. Half of the crimes were committed by men of Moroccan origin and researchers believe they felt stigmatized by society and responded by attacking people they felt were lower on the social ladder. Another working theory is that the attackers may be struggling with their own sexual identity. It is difficult to imagine what common factor might encourage Moroccan men to attack people weaker than themselves or who hold a different worldview. Let alone what in a Moroccan man's upbringing might leave him feeling uncertain of his own sexual identity. Perhaps a quick spin in the Study Vats will reveal the mysterious common factor. |

| #6 "...researchers believe they felt stigmatized by society..." Ahhh yess...the "Cultural Timebomb" theory. The same ole multi-culti crappola again. You know...it's not their fault...it's the host "society". |

| #3 Amsterdam officials are commissioning a study to determine why Moroccan men are targeting the city's gays. Cause they dress better? Cause they can afford to dress better? Cause the girls give them more attention? |

| #1 ...felt stigmatized by society and responded by attacking people they felt were lower on the social ladder. I should have added: Which would also explain why gay men are known for targeting sociologists. |
