A truely sad day for all Dutch
Today movie maker, columnist and chain-smoker Theo van Gogh was murdered He was known and feared for his strong critizism and his blunt and harsh statements that he spewed when ever he got the chance. Often shocking his "opponenents" Van Gogh had a very stong opinion about the way muslims-funtamentalists suppress women and how they condem gays. In an ultimate attempt to shut him up, he was brutally excecuted in Amsterdam this morning. He was shot 6 times and then a letter was pinned to his dead body with 2 knives The killer was captured after a shoot-out with the police. He is an immigrant from Marocco and aparently a muslim-extremist. Van Gogh paid the ultimate price for what he believed in the most: the freedom of speech |

Hello Jeroen,
Unfortunately even in tolerant Holland there is a price to be paid both in money and lives, when you import a bunch of people from a compltely different culture and starkly different religion/ set of values, that refuse to assimulate to western values of the host country. Despite the "it wont happen here" assurances of the Dutch government and know-it-all social workers, both of who have their heads firmly stuck in the sand, it will and does happen. And it will happen again, to anyone like van Gogh and Fontuyn, that dare openly speak the truth about these people and the discrimminations they practice against for example their own women. Holland (and Europe) needs to wake up and recognize that they cannot have it both ways. What do you think about Turkey applying for European membership? I am sure you know about the Eurpean women that have been assualted and murdered in Turkey while on vacation. And Turkey is probably the least radical of the Islamic states. It is time that Holland and Europe recognized that America's (terrorist) is also theirs. Best Regards, Martin Jansen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |
