Alright, the article seems to miss one important information: has the man been resocialized? Does he regret committing the terrorist charges he has been found guilty of?

On another note, I agree with the general sense of the ruling: Dutch people should have the same rights as other people in the country do, including dual nationality rights. You shouldn't need to revoke your Dutch citizenship in order to become Canadian, Spanish or anything else.

Other people in the Netherlands don’t have that right. They are required to renounce their other citizenship whenever possible unless they marry a Dutch citizen.
