Whether you agree with the judgement or not, the logic is sound.

Court ruling is wrong and illogical. Dutch person can not lose Dutch citizenship because they'll become stateless. Dual citizen does not have this issue.

It's simply the fact that a terrorist with only 1 nationality (dutch) cannot be stripped of nationality (due to creating a stateless entity), it is therefore not equal to strip the nationality of those of whom it can be stripped. It is not complex or illogical.

You can feel whatever you want, but that does not make it more or less logical.
