well, if there was any muslim demonstration against these extremists over here in Holland, I'm afraid to say I must have missed it.

Here's a small one: Unity call by Dutch Muslims
"About 60 young Dutch Muslims wearing orange T-shirts reading 'We won't put up with extremism any more' cycled through Amsterdam stopping at mosques to protest against the murder.

They then joined a Dutch-Moroccan rally of several hundred in a park near the street where Van Gogh was killed."

"[...]Yesterday several hundred people of Moroccan decent marched in The Hague to protest the murder and call for a peacefull co-existence of the Netherlands' various communities. The protest was organised by several local Moroccan organisations."

Then there's this one... Many fear Dutch society has lost its famed tolerance after film-maker's murder
"At a short memorial gathering for Van Gogh in Amsterdam, attended by some 20,000 people, many Muslims showed up especially to demonstrate that they condemned the killing. Ikram, a 31-year-old mother, came to the rally with a sign saying 'Muslims against violence'."

I see there's also plans for a rally of 30,000 anti-violence Muslims in Germany. I think that these are encouraging, but there needs to be many more... with more widespread support of that sentiment.

That november 3 demonstration was organized by the pro appeasement mayor Cohen of Amsterdam (and his socialist labour party) who tried to keep the secretary of integration (ms. Verdonk) away and have it as his own personal propaganda meeting for multiculturalism, the Van Gogh family did NOT invite the weasel to the cremation but the weasel invited himself and went anyway. I say to you, he MUST be the new incarnation of Neville Chamberlain because he just does not get it.

I have to say though, I do not believe all people who are muslim are evil terrorists, but I do see everywhere around the world where there is war/conflict etc...etc... there seem to be muslim involved, most of the time.
