franceslievensYesterday morning, around 9:00am, the Dutch controversial director Theo van Gogh was shot dead in Amsterdam. He had gotten death threats because of his subversive opinion on the multicultural society and the islam. Only recently had he made a film about passages in the koran that are hostile towards women. He made this film (Submission) together with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Dutch member of parliament born in Somalia.
Theo van Gogh was shot dead because he had the guts to voice his opinion. His latest film about that other Dutchman who got killed over his opinions, Pim Fortuyn, will premier in a couple of weeks.
