	Theo van Gogh (film director) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Van Gogh was a member of the Dutch republican society Republikeins Genootschap which advocates the abolition of the Dutch monarchy, and a friend and supporter of the controversial Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn who was assassinated in 2002.
		Although Van Gogh was known as a friendly, tolerant character in person, in the 1980s, he became a newspaper columnist, and through the years he used his columns to vent his anger at politicians, actors, film directors, writers and other people he considered to be part of "the establishment".
		Van Gogh was cremated on November 9, 2004 in Amsterdam.

		Theo van Gogh, 47, a provocateur and enfant terrible of Dutch cinema, was ambushed by a bearded man in Arab clothing as he cycled through the heart of Amsterdam.
		Van Gogh was a friend and political twin of Pim Fortuyn, the shaven-headed anti-immigrant firebrand gunned down by a Left-wing fanatic two years ago, a few days before his party stormed into second place in parliament in a political earthquake.
		Van Gogh had also crossed swords repeatedly with Christian and Jewish leaders, referring to the "rotten fish" of Nazareth, but his biting satire was mostly directed against Muslim clerics.

	Theo van Gogh murdered on the streets of Amsterdam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Van Gogh had made no secret of his sympathy for the policies and restrictive immigration policies of the party led by the right-wing populist Pim Fortuyn, who was himself murdered in May 2002.
		Van Gogh has undertaken polemics against all religious communities, but in particular the Islamist, which he described as the biggest threat to the “civilised Western world.” He openly opposed a “multicultural social model,” which he declared to be illusory.
		Van Gogh’s murder only creates confusion within the population at large, which on the whole rejects both the murder and the antidemocratic measures of the Dutch government.

		Despite his rebellious attitude Van Gogh was a capable and very bright guy and it wasn’t a surprise that some would be willing to take a chance on him to make this movie, which was released yesterday.

		Van Gogh, who was regarded as a blasphemer by those who assailed him, has now received the blasphemer's penalty: this is another large step for Europe in its inexorable progression into the darkness of dhimmitude and Sharia.
		Theo Van Gogh is a MARTYR for freedom and a martyr for all those who oppose the fascism of Islamist doctrine.
		The columns of van Gogh, the reactions on it and his murder at least proved that there is something wrong in this country and I think that it is better to have that knowledge than to have to live in a country were all this mess is covered up.

		Van Gogh’s last, a few minutes long, film, was written by a Dutch MP, Ms Ayaan Hirshi Ali, naturalized refugee, from the ex-royal family of Somalia.
		Gogh had all through his rough life a anarchistic streak about him, and that Anarchy was his ultimate political vision on life and society which he prayed upon since no one else seemed interested.
		Nowhere does it suggest that Van Gogh was an anti-semite or not, it merely states that he had been accused of that in the past; and nowhere does it suggest that he "got what he deserved" or anything like that.

		De Telegraaf, a leading paper, published an editorial unimaginable before the van Gogh murder calling for "a very public crackdown on extremist Muslim fanatics." Even left-wing politicians woke up to the need to speak "harsh truths" about immigration, focusing on the disproportionate criminality of Muslims.

		Van Gogh, you see, had transgressed the code of the fanaticism that has now made its home in Holland.
		The movie that doomed Van Gogh was Submission, a ten-minute film shown on Dutch TV earlier this year.
		Mass immigration, of course, played a part in creating the social pathologies that cost Van Gogh his life, but its effects were exacerbated by official Holland's embrace of multiculturalism, a dogma that made integration impossible and alienation a certainty.

		All art lovers have heard of Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch Post-Impressionist renowned for his sunflowers, cypresses and irises and for cutting off part of his earlobe.
		On the occasion of the recently completed traveling exhibition of masterpieces from the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, it is interesting to think about the significant role the brother of the world's most famous artist played in his career.
		Even though Theo himself never painted a single canvas, he is now hailed as deserving a major place of his own in art history: without the allowance that he provided his older brother, some of the greatest paintings of the late 19th century would probably have never been created.
