Flashback (22 yrs ago - 2004): Van Gogh's great-grandnephew was ambushed while bicycling to work in Holland (Amsterdam) and brutally murdered by the adult son of Muslim immigrants for criticizing Muslims, including the abusive treatment of women.
Van Gogh's great-grandnephew was ambushed in front of the Amsterdam-Oost borough office as he bicycled to work in the morning, shot more than 10 times, stabbed to the spine and elsewhere, suffered a slit throat - nearly decapitated, and left dead with a filet knife stabbed into his stomach through a 5-page radical Islam message - by a man born in West Amsterdam, to a good life, to a Morroccan immigrant couple with 3 other children. The reason: Van Gogh expressed concern about the large number of Dutch Muslim immigrants refusing to assimilate and instead continuing to abuse women and be intolerate about free speech.
Theo Van Gogh - Free-Speech Martyr
"Theo Van Gogh, 47, the great grandson of art dealer Theo Van Gogh and great grandnephew of the famed Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh, was an out-spoken and prominent Dutch film director, author, journalist, actor, producer and an advocate of free speech …
". … He harshly criticized Christianity and Judaism. However, the Muslim community bore the brunt of his irritation, which was evident when he likened Dutch Muslim immigrants to "goat f–kers."
"Anger against Van Gogh reached its pinnacle on August 29, 2004 with the airing of the television film Submission on Dutch television, which was the creation of Van Gogh and controversial Dutch politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The film depicted four partially nude women in long, dark transparent veils, who had texts from the Koran written in calligraphy on their bare skin. Some of the women appeared to have reddened whip marks on their backs and legs, on which the texts were written that described the physical punishments, sanctioned by the Koran for disobedient women. Not surprisingly, the highly controversial 10-minute film sparked outrage from the Muslim community.
"Not long after the release of Submission, Theo began to receive death threats…
Pay Back for Submission [his short film]
"At approximately 8:45 a.m. on November 2, 2004, an unknown assailant dressed in a traditional Moroccan "djelleba," brutally attacked Theo outside of a city council building as he bicycled to work in central Amsterdam. The attacker shot Theo Van Gogh and stabbed him repeatedly in the chest, callously disregarding his victim's pleas for mercy. Despite his life-threatening injuries, Theo was able to gain enough momentum to stumble to the other side of the street but by the time he made his way across, his attacker shot and stabbed him again. He then slit Theo's throat with a butcher knife as onlookers gasped in sheer horror.
"In a final assault against his victim the attacker lodged his knife, which had a letter attached to it, into Theo's chest. The assassin then ran off through the neighborhood and into the nearby Oosterpark, where he and police exchanged gunfire. During the shootout, a motorcycle police officer and an eyewitness were seriously wounded.
"Just as Theo's murderer exited the other side of the park, the police caught up with him and shot him in the leg. …The attacker was eventually identified as 26-year-old Mohammed Bouyeri, an Islamic extremist with dual Dutch and Moroccan nationalities who was believed to have links with other Islamic militant groups. Investigators revealed that Bouyeri's motivation to kill was likely sparked by the movie Submission and further aggravated by his hate of the western world and those who refused to accept Islamic values.
