IF YOU WANT to know where the outrage is when Islamist thugs butcher a civilian, look to the Netherlands. There may not be much of an outcry over the slaughter of humanitarian worker Margaret Hassan in Iraq, but the Dutch are up in arms about the Nov. 2 murder of Theo van Gogh, a columnist/talk-show host/filmmaker and provocateur (also related to the famous Vincent) who was shot, almost decapitated and stabbed in the heart because of his criticism of Islam.
There is one corpse, but the Nov. 2 attack on van Gogh as he pedaled his bicycle near his Amsterdam home could be the Dutch Sept. 11.
Many Dutch are incensed (as they should be) that a man would be killed for what he says and thinks. The government was clear that the murder was an assault on free expression. It is also an assault on the Dutch way of life.
It's true that van Gogh used crude and gratuitous words to describe Muslims. He had earned their wrath. But he was the child of a free society and he did not deserve to die.

our media is printing that murder because, to them, van gogh is one of their hollywood buddies (they don't realize that he doesn't live in california yet).

Is that Bill Clinton?
it's Theo van Gogh himself, who I admit, bore physical resemblance to the pre heart op Bill Clinton.
WTF? There I was thinking Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and that jihad was an internal struggle for self improvement....
Damn. I was hoping this was about Michael Moore.
Theo Van Gogh was murdered, not only to intimidate people willing to expose the Islamonazi ideology but, above all, because of his film, that was about to be released, on the murder of Pim Fortuyn.
Two weeks later Pim Fortuyn was elected the most important Dutch personality in History, in a nation wide television vote. The result was so surprising that the organisation didn't even thought about programming the election software to handle this case.
So in this case a "recount" one day later corrected the results, setting Pim Fortuyn in second place.
Terrorism is nothing, colonization kills civilizations.

I read the title and thought "Please, God let it me Michael Moore!"
Attention Muslim terrorists! Michael Moore is making a very bad movie about you guys!!!
