And a small number of (Muslims) were living there… and nearly most of the people who live there or who are Dutch don’t go to church.

Facts: Holland is located north-west Europe. There mane language is Dutch, and there are about 360 cars driven and if you look at it, it is not a lot because if you look at some books they show that there are country’s that have even more then this some are about 500 cars or more… Most people who live there or who are Netherlanders they live to about 78 years old, but I think that they live longer because there climate is very clean and a lot of people are sportive there.
