The trouble is that this Dutch filmmaker was not a very nice person. He baited Muslims and Jews.
The film was not just examining the role of women in Islvery provocative.
The filmmaker also would make claims that Muslims have sex with animals.
The guy was extremely racist. This does not at all justify murdering him, but he was not trying to win over people's minds to treating Muslim women better. He was just trashing Muslims.

and your point is? I have seen muzzies called goatrapers times without number. I have also seen southern evangelicals called sister breeding trailer trash. Are you arguing that killing the two loons who made "Fargo" is justified because he portrayed those people as ignorant buffoons? Your argument is similiar to those who argue that some girl who was raped was "asking for it" by wearing provocative clothes. In short, it is stupid.
IF you are arguing that van Gogh was a part of the sneering, trendy crowd who simply mocks all absolutes, and is an example of how the moral vacuum he lives in will not save him from the fanaticism he despises, then you have a point.
I searched through the threads to see if there was one linking Van Gogh with the Barbara Streisand/Michael Moore cabal in Hollyweird, but didn't find one. Maybe we just don't want to dishonor the dead.

The filmmaker also would make claims that Muslims have sex with animals. You scoff but "Muhammad's goat" seems to be a common byword on FR. Is there or is there not truth to this? If it's true then more power to Van Gogh for outing it.

OF course, if there is truth to this at all; by practice; then it is not racist.
