From a historical standpoint, the Dutch played a very minor role in North America. After the Dune of York took New Amsterdam without firing a shot, the Dutch were effectively booted off the continent. Hell, the governor of New Amsterdam (Stugyven, I think. I'm sure my spelling is off.) was viewed with such hatred that the colonists welcomed the British as liberators. So really Britain, Spain, a d France shaped the future-US, not the Dutch.
And I like how you whine about my nationalism while exibiting it yourself.
As for the whole "Islam/Nightclub tangent", Islam in and of itself doesn't forbid it. Its when you have extremists with radical interpretations who mess things up. But as Punisher said, thats going off topic.
