The Flemish were protestants, but our country was invaded by Spanish troops, and our elite fled to Amsterdam, making Holland into a powerful nation , and giving it its Golden Century, while we plunged into darkness for 500 years.
Needless to say protestantism was rooted out by the Spanish occupiers.

I like the old Dutch culture and the dutch protestantism. So I am pro Flemish! :)

Tanks,
Then I'll call you Goudfazant from now on.
Maybe you should visit us here, to get the impression, to see the similarities between Holland-Vlaanderen-Groningen-Friesland.
Of course, after 400+ years of oppression, for us, the times are getting better, but Belgium must be abolished, for us to become really free.
Are you a German Fries? Or were you born somewhere else?
How do German and Dutch/Danish Fries compare?

Do not forget that Flanders was turned into a Catholic bastion by the inquisition. The culture of protestantism in Holland and the richer history of Flanders/Bourgoundy is different. We are much more enjoying good beers, wine, food then the Dutch do.
That's why Flanders and the Netherlands needs to be united again:
We learn from the Dutch entrepeneurship, and they learn our cuisine.
Both are hard workers, e.g. Flanders exports 80% of Belgium (in comparison to 20% Wallonia).
The ports of Rotterdam and Antwerpen and Zeebrugge should be combined into 1 superport, so that it becomes the biggest port in the world. Bye bye Hamburg ;D
That would turn The United Netherlands in an economical superpower.

This is right. After WW2 the Dutch have the idea to annex East Frisia, because the culture and the confession is quite similar. I would like to live in a real Calvinist state.
Look here is todays Est-Frisia:
and this was it before:

Was Lübeck a Danish town before the Germans annexed Sleswig?

No, I think the city is a new foundation by Heinrich the Lion. As far as I know this city was never Danish, but in the neighborhood lived Slaws before 1300 years.
Ambiorix:
Do you like the music of the Dutch composer Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck?
And what do you think about the Church music? I saw in your Church they are quite liberal with it (guitars and so..)
Don't you like prefer singing chorals , together with organ?
