You got to laugh at these Europeans. They never stop attacking Israel for defending itself against literally thousands of murders or decades by these terrorists. Yet, one little Van Gogh gets stabbed and they go ballistic, burning down schools, etc.
Wonder what they'd do if they had a bus bombing everyday? You think they'd show 'restraint' and stop the 'cycle of violence'?
Hypocrites!
It is uncertain whether it has been the Dutch doing the burning. Here's more from the article:
"Van Gogh had received death threats after the release of his most recent film that was critical of the treatment of women under Islam.
Six suspects, believed to be members of a terrorist group, remain in custody, including the alleged killer, 26-year-old Mohammed Bouyeri, who holds dual Dutch and Moroccan nationality.
There have been more than a dozen arson attacks in the Netherlands against churches and mosques since Van Gogh's killing in Amsterdam more than a week ago."
Your point about Israel is well made.
We should note however that the dutch aren't apparently queuing up to make friends with Muslims, or volunteering to be human shields for Mosques.
I guess the Dutch are beginning to know what it's like to be a "shitty little country."
How true, the chickens have finally come home to roost. Some would say, with justification, that Europe is finally getting what it deserves, but that doesn't solve this horrendous problem. Interestingly, when you hear Liberals complain about the war in Iraq and the prospect of establishing a working democracy, they pooh pooh the notion six ways to Sunday. They dress it up in clean linen, but they're racists who believe Arabs haven't got the brains to run a democracy. It seems to be the only alternative to all out worldwide war, so they'd better be wrong.
Probably surrender.
