IMPORTING THE SUPERIOR CULTURE (via Ali Choudhury):
Amsterdam to clean up "Red Light" district (Emma Thomasson, 12/17/07, Reuters)
The city of Amsterdam announced plans on Monday to clean up its infamous "red light" district to fight human trafficking, money laundering and drug abuse and replace prostitutes' windows with upmarket boutiques.Amsterdam Mayor Job Cohen told a news conference he wanted to clamp down on the organised criminals whose growing influence has corrupted the historic city centre.
"The romantic picture of the area is outdated if you see the abuses in the sex industry and that is why the council has to act," he said. "We don't want to get rid of prostitution but we do want to cut crime significantly."

I'm not sure how the initiative of Mayor Job Cohen prove the superiority of Eurabia.
