Is it safe for Muslim women to go to the Netherlands / Holland


Is it safe for Muslim women to go to the Netherlands / Holland ?
My company in Malaysia is considering to purchase consultancy services from a prestigious Dutch company. We are expected to work with them in Holland for 6 months. It's a big project However, most of our staff are muslim women and they wear the Hijab. (Taking them off is not an option cause it's our religion) They are very concerned with the political instability in Holland. In particular, there is a large anti Islam movement in Holland by the dutch politician Geert wilders. Some of our staff has insisted that we do not proceed with the project So, Is it safe for us to be there for 6 months? Can any dutch people here advice? Thank you very much :) Trish : I've read that Geert Wilder's anti Islam movement in Holland is the second largest in Holland. Isn't that an alarming fact for Muslims to do business with the dutch? Lol, I've added the exact same question in the Netherlands section. Look at how some dutch people reply to my question! I guess you guys don't live in the Netherlands.

I'm pretty sure it won't be a problem. They firmly believe in freedom of expression there. Go for it.

You know, if Muslim women were allowed to carry guns, they would be much safer in any country...especially Muslim countries where Sharia law is practiced. If they were allowed to work away from home, get a job, buy property on their own and run a business, they would not be sold to men two or three times their age and would be unstoppable. Hope this help.
