Eight Arrested In Dutch Filmmaker's Murder

(Amsterdam) Dutch police arrested eight Islamic radicals for the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh. According to prosecution spokeswoman Dop Kruimel, six suspects are Moroccan, one is Algerian, and one is a dual Spanish-Moroccan national.

Mr. van Gogh received death threats for his movie, Submission, which depicts and criticizes the way women are treated under Islam. His murder was violent overkill. The Dutch newspaper, Telegraaf Daily, stated:
[T]he killer shot Mr. van Gogh eight or nine times, then calmly slipped his weapon in the pocket of a beige raincoat before bending over his victim and slitting his throat.
It needs to be mentioned that Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered for creating a film which exposed the abject inequality and lack of individual liberty in the Muslim world. He was brutally murdered by Muslim ideologues who praise Michael Moore for his anti-American propaganda film, Fahrenheit 911.
