A question to dragonlich, I've just read some more informations about Theo van Gogh and do you think he was a fair dealing, constructive critc of islam?
From what I've read o far I would call him a racist asshole (he called Muslims "goatfuckers" and Mohammed a paedophile). But perhaps this was just his way of "artistic provocation".
Of course this would in no way justify the murder, but I'm just wondering.
BTW: The latest movie "submission" can be downloaded here:
