Gunman kills Dutch film director (Shot Film about Islamic abuse of women)
BBC ^ | November 2, 2004

Posted on 11/02/2004 2:32:25 AM PST by TFine80

Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh, who made a controversial film about Islamic culture recently, has been shot dead in Amsterdam, Dutch media report. Police said they had arrested a man at the scene after an exchange of gunfire.

Van Gogh, 47, had received death threats after his film Submission, on violence against women in Islamic societies, was shown on Dutch TV.

The film was made with liberal Dutch politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali refugee who fled an arranged marriage.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been under police protection since the film was aired. She has also received death threats and has renounced the Islamic faith.

Van Gogh's production company told the Dutch news agency ANP that he had been shot dead. Police did not identify the victim.

Both the suspect and a policeman suffered bullet wounds and are now in hospital.

Van Gogh - who was related to the famous Dutch painter - had also been making a film about Pim Fortuyn, the populist right-wing, anti-immigration politician assassinated in May 2002.

Europe is about to reap the whirlwind of liberal doctrine. A house divided against itself will not stand for long. The Islamofascists know that the Euroweenies are basically weak and ready for plucking....it is only a matter of time...

After this the Dutch response might be to import more radical Muslims, or at least those who hate Jews. It's is outrageous that so many countries have been admitting immigrants who hate Jews.

Gosh, a prearranged assassination of a documentary film maker by a Moslem? Or was the shooter a leftofascist instead? What a huge surprise, either way.

From This Link (Oh, and thanks for the informative links, dennisw.)

She contends that at least a dozen of the killings of young Muslim girls in the Netherlands every year are revenge killings by brothers, fathers or relatives. The police record them as family conflicts, she said.

"Police say they want to avoid stigmatizing a group," Hirsi Ali said. "I say, we have to know the truth."

Yea, let's not stigmatize a group just because the kill and beat women.

Exactly. It's like playing the game Risk. You don't attack the fortified country initially. You first get the weaker countries and once you have secured an entire continent (In this case Europe), you get more reinforcements each time around.

It would be nice to think that that was a joke. ;-)

This is why I hold my nose when I vote. The Republicans are so effeminate that they let the vermin in as well, with never a word about restructuring the immigration laws. We have to stop letting in people who won't assimilate. I know that the Birkenstockers have a death wish, and they are welcome to proceed at the individual level.

who made a controversial film about Islamic culture

Translation from the BBC PC newspeak to real language: "who made a truthful film about Muslim savagery".

There are plenty of average folks in Holland who will not put up with this situation any longer. Just watch.

I'm watching this happening for decades now. Nothing will follow. Want a bet?

We let them in too. We have guns.

So what? There is info on FR posted today about Pali students physically assaulting Republican Club members on the grounds of SFrancisco State University... in front of the campus police.

The police asked the Republicans to leave.

Where were your guns, and what do they matter?
