By
ordering Dutch soldiers to be "invisible" in The Netherlands,
what message is the government sending to it enemies, let alone its own
citizens?
Jihadists
now know that a few tweets from a single Dutch jihadist can fundamentally
alter Dutch defense policy. It will order the personnel tasked with
keeping The Netherlands safe to hide.
A
country that has to hide its soldiers on its own soil and protect its
Jewish schools with Military Police cannot possibly maintain that it has
no real problems with elements of its Muslim minority.

Threats tweeted by the jihadist known as Muhajiri
Shaam, pictured above, have caused the Dutch military to order its
soldiers not to wear uniforms in public.

The Dutch Ministry of Defense has advised its soldiers not wear
their uniforms in public. Dutch vice Prime Minister Lodewijk Asscher of
the Labour Party emphasized that the proposal was merely advice.
The Dutch military, however, clearly ordered -- instead of advised
-- its personnel to hide their military professions in public.
Dutch customs officials, whose uniforms could be mistaken as
military, received the same advice.
The reason for this display of woefully misplaced 'conscientiousness'
was a series of threats by the Dutch jihadist known as Muhajiri Shaam, a
member of the al-Qaeda-affiliated group Jahbat-al Nusra.
Shaam tweeted: "So, now Dutch F-16's. Dutch people: your
government just made you a target".
