van gogh killer refuses defense and waves koran

theo van goghs mother

said: "After the death of our son it became clear that writing and images are dangerous, they can get you killed

the man who did it said he did not recognise the authority of the dutch court

and so this is how free speech is destroyed for the dutch .

I like how the bbc says he did the killing for radical islam whatever that is

and dont ask whether islam in general is in favour of free speech, and what muslims generally in holland want to do with people like van gogh when they get in high enough numbers.

Theo van Gogh, a distant descendant of 19th-century painter Vincent van Gogh, was killed last November after his film about sexual abuse of women in Islamic society was shown on television.

Prosecutors say Mr Bouyeri intended to terrify Dutch society.

"In a letter to his family he said he had chosen to do his duty to Allah and to give his soul for paradise," prosecutor Frits van Straelen said. "[He] wanted to become a martyr."


The film-maker begged for mercy, the court heard, but was shot seven times and then had his throat sliced.


Judges will discuss whether Mohammed Bouyeri needs tests

When a bystander yelled at him: "You can't do that!", Mr Bouyeri is alleged to have replied: "Yes, I can. Now you know what's coming to you."

 

I do live in the Netherlands at the moment, and I'm glad I'll move to Belgium next September. I see more and more of these lunatics in daily life. Okay, they can be found all over the world but it's so scary in Holland because this country always stood for tolerance and free speech. Sad...
