(H/T – ann satley/Prairie Thoughts)
canadafreepress.com reports that by pEU diktat, Christ and Judiasm lose their capitalization in the Dutch language as of August 2006. WorldNetDaily has an expansion on the story, saying that the proper name of Jesus Christ – “Jezus Christus” in Dutch – will still be capitalized, with all other references stripped of capitalization. Also, the Dutch word for Jews – “Juden” – will only be capitalized when it refers to the nationality and specifically not capitalized when refering to the religion.
No word on whether the Dutch words for Islam and Muslim – “Islam” and “Moslim” respectively – will suffer the same fate. My guess is not.
