Holland: Anti-Muslim incidents increase

The killing of controversial filmmaker, allegedly by an Islamic extremist, has sparked several anti-Muslim incidents in the Netherlands, including two attempts to burn down mosques, Dutch media reported Sunday.
Eight alleged Islamic extremists have been arrested in connection with Tuesday's slaying of Theo van Gogh, who earlier this year released a film critical of how women are treated under Islam. Among those arrested was the alleged 26-year-old killer, identified only as Mohammed B.
Though mainstream Muslim groups condemned the killing, it has caused an outpouring of anger in the Netherlands.
Vandals threw red paint Saturday night on a center in Amsterdam that aids immigrants, many of them Muslim. The Emcemo center is located several blocks from the spot where Van Gogh was killed, and its director, Abdou Menebhi, told local television station AT5 that he "assumed (the vandalism) was done by a racist group of some kind."
In the town of Huizen, police arrested two men they say were caught preparing to ignite a fire at the An-Nasr mosque Friday night, national news service NOS reported. A mosque in the city of Breda sustained minor fire damage in another reported arson attempt.
Earlier this week, a small fire was set at a mosque in Utrecht, police said, and a pig's head was left in a plastic bag outside a mosque in Amsterdam.
NOS reported Sunday that pamphlets with the image of a pig and a slur against Muslims were circulating in Rotterdam.
Van Gogh, a distant relative of the famous painter Vincent van Gogh, released "Submission" in August. The film was criticized as insensitive by some Muslim groups.
On Tuesday, Van Gogh was shot while riding his bicycle and then stabbed and had his throat cut. His killer left a 5-page note quoting from the Quran and threatening more attacks. Prosecutors believe the killer was part of a terrorist group with international links.
Of the eight suspects arrested, six remain in detention for the killing, including Mohammed B.
Judges ordered two suspects released Friday for lack of evidence, a decision prosecutors said they will appeal.

Dearest Holland -
Please submit your anti-terror funding request in triplicate prior to Nov 15th, as we may all be on holiday the follwing month. We currently are experiencing a 6 month wait period for innane diplomatic discourse and feeble UN resolutions.

Muslims won't debate or take an honest look at any aspect of their religion ---- like it's treatment of women, they kill. It's in the Koran though --- no one is to criticize mad Mohammad's teachings in any way or form or it's death.

Oh, gee, the Religion of Peace strikes again and Europe is surprised?
And notice how the reaction is much the same as everywhere else where the Religion of Peace shows its true colors. Isn't this against the very tenants of the EU charter which has specific instructions on how to THINK in every situation.

Muslims won't debateWhat do they have to debate?
They all believe in the mad prescriptions of Mad Mo no matter what they say in public to the dhimmis.
Mad Mo even told them how to lie to us dhimmis, accurately foretelling that we might object to their plans to kill and enslave us.

A thorough study of the Quran and Hadiths reveals an Islam that is NOT being presented honestly by the Muslim propagandists. In fact, it is NOT even known by the majority of Muslims !!!
Islam, as it is taught in the Quran (Koran) and as it was lived by Muhammad, is reported in the Hadith (Biography and sayings of the so called Prophet) is a religion of intolerance, inequality, violence, discrimination, superstition, fanaticism, and blind, unquestioning faith.
Islam advocates murdering all non-Muslims and it abuses the basic human rights of women and minorities. Islam was expanded by Jihad (holy war) and forced its way by brutally murdering the non-believers and the Muslim dissidents.
Apostasy in Islam is the biggest crime, punishable by death !!!
The so called prophet Muhammad was a fundamentalist himself, therefore fundamentalism cannot be separated from TRUE Islam. Islam, which means submission, demands that its followers submit their wills and thoughts to Muhammad and his moon god Allah, a created deity that despises reason, democracy, freedom of thought and freedom of expression.
The self proclaimed prophet Muhammad lived a less than holy life. His lust for sex, his affairs with his maids and slave girls, his pedophilic relationship with Aisha (a 6-year-old child), his killing sprees, his massacre and genocide of the Jews, his slave making and trading, his assassination of his opponents, his raids and lootings of the merchant caravans, his burning of the palm plantations, his destruction of water wells, his cursing and invoking evil upon his enemies, and his revenge upon his captured prisoners of war, totally and completely disqualify him as being a decent human being, let alone his claim that he is the messenger of God. Sheeesh... a "religion" comprised of lies and absurdities !!!
I thoroughly REJECT Islam, because of Muhammads complete lack of moral and ethical fortitude, the insistance of murdering all Cristians, Jews and other Infidels, and because of the total and complete absurdities that reside within the Quran !!!

There was a Dutch magazine editor on KABC talk radio last week, being asked about Van Gogh, and his rhetoric sounded like something on right wing talk radio here. I was pleasantly surprised.

No, more likely than not, all the other Dutch will show up in big demonstrations carrying candles and banners saying "Stop Anti-Muslim Violence and Bigotry" and their papers will engage in another round of flagellation of all ethnically Dutch Dutchmen.
