Terrorism fear amongst Dutch population is receding

Fear of terrorist attacks by Islamist activists is ebbing amongst the population of the Netherlands. An opinion poll, paid for by Dutch National Broadcasting Channel showed that the population, surpisingly, feels safer now then just after the murder on van Gogh. 76 percent of the population feels safe, as opposed to 61 percent, just after the murder.

The amount of people who think that there is no freedom of speech declined from 53 to 38 percent. Especially rightwingers believe there is no freedom of speech.
