Your "constant amazement" may be amusing to you, DJ Happy, but it is not evidence for anything, except for an emotion that you are experiencing. It's hardly the basis for evidence in a debate.
It is believed by Dutch authorities that van Gogh's assassin was a member of a terrorist group with ties to Islamist murderers in Morocco. The note that he left behind (pinned to van Gogh's body with a knife) was a clear call to jihad, meant as a rallying cry to those who are working for the destruction of western civilization. If you wish to read the note, I've posted part of it above. The entire thing can be found on various sites, and in a number of news stories.
If you have evidence that these jihadist barbarians are after something less than the end to western society, please present it here. I'm open to whatever evidence you have.
