I replied to Robert's post as follows
RP>To believe that immigration from Eastern Europe will 'save'
RP>Western Europe
that is not, though, the issue in this thread, which is (surely?)
about Muslim
immigrants and also about emigration from the Netherlands.
So, here's some stuff about the Netherlands
>>>>>>>>>>>>
For the third successive year, the number of emigrants
substantially outnumbers immigrants, the CBS said.
The net effect means the Dutch population was reduced in the
2004-06 period by 75,000. In the preceding three years, there was
a positive net migration of 75,000.
Despite the dramatic reversal, the number of immigrants is also
on the increase.
In the first nine months of this year, 76,000 immigrants settled
in the Netherlands, an increase of 6,000 compared to last year.
They primarily came from Poland, Germany and the US. The number
of former Dutch emigrants returning to their country of birth is
also growing.
The rising rate of emigration slowed population increase to
13,000 this year 9,000 fewer than 2005. The population is
expected to grow by 20,000 this year.

In 2003 more than 25,000 born Dutch chose to swap the Netherlands
for another country.
According to Statistics Netherlands, the top emigration countries
in 2003 for people born in the Netherlands were: Belgium (7,150),
Germany (6,218), the UK (3,037), the Dutch Antilles/Aruba
(2,433), Spain (2,101), France (2,057), the US (1,912), Australia
(896) and Canada (719).
