"Dutch Al Qaeda" threatens Dutch Hindu groups over their support for Pim Fortuyn

AMSTERDAM: Dozens of threatening letters containing an unidentified white powder were sent to some 80 Dutch Hindu groups this week, accusing them of supporting murdered politician Pim Fortuyn, one of the groups said on Thursday.

But the organisations had not taken any stand in support of anti-immigration campaigner Fortuyn, who was shot dead on Monday just as his new party was surging in opinion polls, said a representative of the Hindu group SHPN.

The letters, signed "Dutch al-Qaeda", were received on Monday and Tuesday. They have been reported to the police.

Fortuyn's party had been expected to win some 17 percent of the vote in a general election next Wednesday.

His campaign had created a groundswell of support from those who admired his outspoken stance as well as bitter opposition from established politicians, many foreigners and the left wing.

Dutch al-Qaeda seems as stupid about the effects of its actions as the 9/11 hijackers were. I assume this will drive a lot more votes to Lijst Pim Fortuyn, unless the news is somehow concealed from the Dutch populace. And, if the Times of India is reporting this, I would assume the Indians in Holland will be well aware of the news even if the Dutch media choose to ignore it.

The situation in the Netherlands are more serious with the Muslims than gets reported very often. Lots of euphemisms and lies, just as there is in our mainstream media, about immigrant crime and un-assimilation. Fortuyn saw with a clear eye.

The Dutch media reported it and showed it all, also the message from these organizations to vote List Pim Fortuyn. The truth is out now, Fortuyn never was the racist the media and the left let everyone to believe. Fortuyn did everything to counter that image of comparing him to Haider/Le Pen/Hitler. It is sad he had to die for people to understand that message.

As I am typing this, there is a broadcast of the service in the Rotterdam Cathedral, where his coffin stand. When he was drivin to the Cathedral, thousands and thousands of people were standing at the route, throwing flowers to the car which carried his coffin.

IN MEMORIAM
PIM FORTUYN
1948 - 2002
