Wente barely touches the tip of the iceberg, the issues in the Netherlands started about 15 years ago with the assassination of Pim Fortuyn (an open homosexual who rejected the far right but was vocal in his concerns about political Islam and integration). Then there was Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was assassinated in 2004 while riding his bike by Islamist terrorists who objected to his documentary "Submission" (written by the secular activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali). No, these issues are not new but the mainstream media has ignored the societal regression in western Europe over the last 15 years out of a misguided duty to political correctness and this has only made the situation worse. Political correctness has real impacts, just google the depressing story on Rotherham in the UK. Western Europe needs to have an honest discussion about integration if they want to stop the trend of societal regression because no-go zones are not a rightwing conspiracy theory, they are very real.
