There is something seriously wrong with a religion, that if it is questioned, insulted or slighted in some way, the only acceptable response is death.
Even if Van Gogh was pretty vocal about his disdain for Muslims, Jews, etc, it doesn't excuse the Muslim religion from going over the line and killing him, and it doesn't excuse them from beheading innocents in Iraq either. If the Muslim religion is really a religion of peace, they will be outraged at the acts committed in their name, and that outrage is yet to be heard.

Every born Dutch person agrees to that and also a lot of moderate Muslims (see Muslim demonstrations). I must admit that there are also a lot of Muslims and even other columnist on TV that say that Theo van Gogh should have seen it coming. Dispicable in my opinion.

You didn't read teezle's post carefully, or see the articles about the response in Amsterdam.

There have been several anti-Islamist demos in Amsterdam *by Muslims*. And from what I've read, several hundred in attendance. Theo's film was itself inspired by *a Muslim* (OK, ex-Muslim) woman. And the vice mayor of Amsterdam - a Muslim - has threatened deportations and other measures against Islamists.

That reaction is greatly different from the utter silence of Muslims here in America, but don't confuse what's happening here to what's happening in Holland.
