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.
Hey there MP, hope all your true believing Christians in Poland are praying for America to make the right choice today.
Islam could not conquer Europe by military invasion. But moslems have not stopped fighting the war. Now they conquer through immigration and liberal policy.
The west has become weak, and will get what it deserves.

Well there is one of us, geros, that is not too worried about election results.
Well for starters I think you will see the Dutch lead the charge to keep Turkey out of the EU. That is not "nothing". Even before this Dutch people were fed up with the garbage immigrants taking advantage of them and raping their country. They are not French and will do something about it now.

La verdad como siempre.
My point is that the liberal media avoid identifying Fortuyn as gay in order to protect liberal news consumers from experiencing cognitive dissonance. This allows leftists to continue to believe that anyone who opposes Muslim immigration to the West must be doing so because he is a racist, and not because (for example) he is a gay man who doesn't want to be executed under Sharia. I'm not sure what gave you the idea that I would support murdering gay people.
