Ah. Well... that would seem possible...
Though not on a "French" scale. However, under the Moroccan population there are some negative sentiments. They feel themselves to be the pariahs of Dutch society.

The last few years there have been some smaller riots in Holland, the most famous ones in Den Bosch (twice) and Groningen. The difference with the French riots: it was white thrash. There were riots in Den Bosch because a resident of a "socially weak" quarter was killed by the police in 2001 and because another resident of the same quarter confessed on television that he had an incestuous relationship with his daughter in 2004. The last riots were at first directed at this man and the next few days at the police.

In Groningen were riots on New Year's Eve 1997-8, because a SP-member of the provincial parliament who lived in a quarter comparable to the one in Den Bosch criticized his quarter on TV. His house was demolished, and it took hours before the police reacted. It was completely escalated at that moment. The mayor had to resign because of this incident.
