I always used to think that seniors were being babies or lying when they complained about their theses. “Give me a break,” I would think as I listened to them complain listlessly about how their lives were being consumed by Tocqueville or Moroccan Dance Theatre. “You people are boring freaks.

Martijn de Koning, an anthropologist at the International Institute for the Study of Islam in the Modern World in Leiden, the Netherlands, interviewed a group of twentysomething Dutch Muslims before the 2004 murder of Theo van Gogh by a young Dutch Moroccan angry at the filmmaker's on-screen portrayal of Islamic culture. Back then, De Koning found his subjects were outraged by the fact that it was tough to be Muslim in the Netherlands.
