It's indeed a first. However, it's the second murder of a prominent Dutch "right-wing" person in the past few years (against none in the decades before). It's more of an escalation of a process that was already underway. Other Dutch anti-Islam politicians have been threatened in the past, and this has continued after the murder; some people are afraid to speak out because of it. Dutch people fear another such murder is going to happen soon...
So, although it's a one-off, it's part of a dangerous trend.
