Death of a “Blasphemer” - FrontPage.com

I am posting Robert Spencer's article about the murder of van Gogh who produced a film (Real Video clip) about Islam's view of women. Here is his conclusion.
After van Gogh was killed, thousands of people took to the streets of Amsterdam to pay him homage. Among them, according to Agence France Presse, was a Muslim woman who stated: “I didn’t really agree with van Gogh but he was a person who used his freedom of expression.” She held up a sign saying, “Muslims Against Violence,” explaining: “I decided that as a Muslim and a Moroccan I should take up my responsibility to show that we do not support this act.” ...

If Western countries continue, out of ignorance, fear, or narrow self-interest, to refuse to find out
, they will find themselves playing host to many more incidents like the bloody scene in Amsterdam Tuesday morning. The longer this question is ignored, or attributed only to “racist” sensibilities, the more likely it becomes that the killing of Theo van Gogh will not be a tragic anomaly, but a harbinger of things to come. more
