On November 2, 2004, an Islamic extremist gunned down Dutch filmmaker and Islam critic Theo van Gogh in the street, then slit his throat in front of horrified passers-by.
The 26-year-old killer had not been sent by al-Qaeda. The son of Moroccan immigrants, Mohammed Bouyeri was born in Amsterdam, spoke Dutch well and was thought to be solidly integrated in Dutch society.

Hey O’Reilly, this is what you should say the next time you appear on “THE VIEW”. Let them all walk off the stage and terminate that silly program.
Demand more Geert. 50% cut is not enough.
It is to late for Europe and the Muslims know it. Indigenous European birth rates are well below that of the Muslims so every year they grow stronger and the Europeans grow older.
Plus we don’t put up a fight. The general direction the debate and statements by established politicians take is that we don’t want the “clash of civilizations” and therefore have to do anything to avoid it. No, we are not giving up, disarming unilateral or are just plain cowards - we were the aggressive party all along.
