Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh, who made a controversial film about Islamic culture recently, has been shot dead in Amsterdam, Dutch media report. Police said they had arrested a man at the scene after an exchange of gunfire.

Van Gogh, 47, had received death threats after his film Submission, on violence against women in Islamic societies, was shown on Dutch TV.

The film was made with liberal Dutch politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali refugee who fled an arranged marriage.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been under police protection since the film was aired. She has also received death threats and has renounced the Islamic faith.

Van Gogh's production company told the Dutch news agency ANP that he had been shot dead. Police did not identify the victim.

Both the suspect and a policeman suffered bullet wounds and are now in hospital.

Van Gogh - who was related to the famous Dutch painter - had also been making a film about Pim Fortuyn, the populist right-wing, anti-immigration politician assassinated in May 2002.

I wonder if he will even get a mention at the Academy Awards.

Geez, /there/their/

A Morrocan killed a Van Gogh. I think you will be surprised. There are plenty of average folks in Holland who will not put up with this situation any longer. Just watch.

[blanknoone]

Just watch.

I am watching. And I will watch Islam be the largest religion within 50 years. And watch it become an Islamic theocracy within 100 years.

The Europeans are completely out of their minds in allowing vast numbers of IslamoFascist vermin into their nations. We let them in too.

Yeah, you are right. Big time, I am sad to say.

Time for all the illegal alien Islamic vermin to be sent back by the INS to whatever hell-holes they crawled out of.

"We are the religion of Peace and Love and Tolorance ®, so you'd better not criticize our faults we'll kill you"

"...Pim Fortuyn, the populist right-wing, anti-immigration politician assassinated in May 2002."

The MSM just can't bring themselves to acknowledge that Fortuyn was openly gay. He opposed uncontrolled Muslim immigration to his country because homosexuality is a capital offense under Muslim law.

[lodi90]

We let them in too. We have guns. The euros don't. They will need them first.

[Taliesan]

We just need to sit down with them and talk and understand their concerns and they will stop killing us.

"Typical Leftists, hiding the Identity of the Perp..."

I thought they were talking about Van Gogh and wondered how the police didn't identify him if an officer on the scene was shot. After all, the only other victim besides Van Gogh is the officer. Since he isn't named in the article, maybe they mean him?

[lodi90]

And I will watch Islam be the largest religion within 50 years. And watch it become an Islamic theocracy within 100 years.

I have no doubt the muslims at some point will flip the bird to the dutch and proclaim the islamic republic of orange. i think you are underestimating the Dutch on this issue. They are not french and will fight. The problem is they could get swamped by the overflow from France and Germany.

Now it has become a pattern. You speak your mind in Holland about Islam and you get murdered. The Dutch will be stirred to some action but already the numbers of Muhammedans are such that Dutch culture is being choked.

Nashville, Tennessee has four mosques. They are everywhere. We are allowing more to come this year and next year. We are not learning.

[processing please hold]

I'll let my tag line do my talking.

The Europeans and Americans are completely out of their minds in allowing vast numbers of IslamoFascist vermin into their nations.

Muhammad-inspired persecution of Christians, Jews and all non-Muslims continues...

"The MSM just can't bring themselves to acknowledge that Fortuyn was openly gay. He opposed uncontrolled Muslim immigration to his country because homosexuality is a capital offense under Muslim law."

I thought everyone knew Fortuyn was gay?

Whats your point anyway? That the because Muslims kill gays, as well as women, their immigration to western countries should be encouraged?

[Redbob]

Just put this into the "Muslim Murders" column.

See how it's balanced by the "Muslim Acts of Charity" column
(PS: Still waiting on the first entry...)

I AM OFFENDED THAT YOU CONSIDER MUSLIMS TO BE LESS THAN PEACEFUL. THIS IS A SERIOUS INSULT AND YOU MUST DIE FOR IT! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!

[Slings and Arrows]

Maybe a little science would help the region of Islam.

[Slings and Arrows]

I'm surprised they even used the word "murder". Was it done by an "insurgent" or a "freedom fighter".

An "activist."
