Criticism and praise for Ramadan message Rutte

Prime Minister Mark Rutte has on Twitter and Facebook the million Muslims in the Netherlands wished a happy ramadan.

 It is the first time that the Prime Minister does this and it delivers different responses.

I wish the million Muslims in Netherlands, Like a fine ramadan. Ramadan kareem "Rutte tweeted Thursday morning. The message also came on his Facebook page. Geert Wilders responded via Twitter on the message of the Prime Minister and called it ' bonkers '.

' Fine ' ramadan

Ramadan begins Thursday for millions of Muslims and lasts 30 days. Not everyone sums up the social media posts by Rutte about this on as sympathetic gesture. The combination of the words ' fine ' and ' r ' is for people on social media an unfortunate combination. So Tweet: Sylvia Witteman,, would like a ' fine ' root canal. I believe ramadan not intended to be fine. " Other people ask themselves why Rutte no similar message on Twitter will Tweet if it Christmas or Saint Nicholas.

There also other sounds sound. So writes Twitterer Eva:,, Jeez, Rutte wants those who enters into a fine ramadan and he is buried under adverse reactions, calm your tits guys. "
