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 |

QUOTE(marankie @ Nov 3 2004, 01:45 PM) It is time that Holland and Europe recognized that America's (terrorist) is also theirs. i have to disagree ... Americas foreign policy over the last decades has made us a lot of enemies that have now focused on us primarily. this hasn't always been the case, terrorism isn't anything new and Europe always had it's share, but as i said, it has shifted towards the US in recent years. the only thing that really amazes me about all of this is how surprised all of you guys seem. where have you been since 1980 ??? everyone i know (in Europe at least) has seen this coming for a long time, it was just simply a matter of time until the terrorists would bring the war to the US ... and this is just the beginning, mark my words, this is going to get worse ...
