The Netherlands and the history of Islamophobia

Islamophobia in the Netherlands has a long and complex history, dating back to the early Middle Ages. Over the centuries, there have been periods of relative tolerance and acceptance of Muslims, as well as periods of intense persecution and discrimination. In the early Middle Ages, Muslims were generally tolerated in the Netherlands, as they were seen as valuable trading partners.
