As a Canadian living in The Netherlands I do not share your assessment at all.  The Netherlands has a lot going for it but it does have a strong xenophobic strain.  And yes, this is based on things like race and religion.  Wilders is tapping into that and the persistent idea that only a white person can be truly, fully Dutch.  Yes, there are integration problems but that's also a two-way street.  Many Morroccans feel alienated and on the edge of Dutch society.  Research shows that they face a lot of employment discirmination.  There is much more to this story than Ms. Wente is presenting here.
