Wake up America: Dutch Filmmaker Theo Van Gogh is  Murdered .  

By Ali Sina

Today, November 2, 2004, the Americans are voting to elect their president. Osama bin Laden has already issued his threat that those states that vote for Bush will be targeted for terrorist attacks.  

Also today, the Dutch are mourning the murder of one of their freethinkers. Theo Van Gogh, a filmmaker who was the great-grandnephew of the painter Vincent van Gogh was shot and stabbed to death on an Amsterdam street after receiving death threats over a movie he made criticizing the treatment of women under Islam.  

His assassin was caught after a shootout with police officers that left him wounded in a leg. He is a 26-year-old Muslim man with dual Dutch-Moroccan citizenship.  

Police said Van Gogh's killer shot and stabbed his victim and left a note in Arabic containing some verses of the Quran on his body. The police also declined to comment on reports that Van Gogh’s throat was slashed.

An eyewitness who lives in the neighborhood told the Dutch national broadcaster NOS that she heard six shots and saw a man with a long beard and wearing Islamic garb concealing a gun.  

Another witness reported the killer arrived by bicycle and shot Van Gogh as he got out of a car. "The shooter stayed next to him and waited. Waited to make sure he was dead," the witness said.

Filmmaker Theo van Gogh, 47, had been threatened after the August airing of the movie "Submission," which he made with a right-wing Dutch politician, Ayan Hirsi Ali, who had renounced the Islamic faith of her birth.  

Two years ago, the Dutch were shocked by the assassination of the Politician Pim Fortuyn, who was an outspoken critic of Islam and an advocate of anti-immigration policies, particularly against the Turks and the Moroccans. He was assassinated by a fellow Dutch, sympathetic to the Muslims  

Van Gogh's next movie, scheduled to debut on the Internet in December, was titled "06-05" and was about the May 6, 2002 slaying of Fortuyn.

His short English-language film "Submission," which aired on Dutch television in August, enraged the Netherlands ' Muslim community — including some Muslim women's groups that called its depiction of abuse of women insensitive.

Muslims have always used intimidation and terror to advance their cause. This tradition dates back to the time of Muhammad. Soon after the Prophet immigrated to Medina and found a group of the men believing in him as a new messenger of God and willing to do anything for him, he terrorized the inhabitants of that town with a series of assassinations and killings of his critics. Among his victims were Abu Afak, a man said to be 120 years old and Asma, a poetess and a mother of five small children. Other victims of Muhammad were Ka'b ibn Ashraf, the young and handsome leader of a Jewish tribe in Medina who dared to compose poetries critical of Muhammad and his successor, Abu Rafi who also dared to speak out his mind. 

Those assassinations shocked and enraged the Medinans but they had their intended effect. People were frightened to speak out and to criticize Muhammad and his cult. Fear is a powerful human emotion. Through fear, even those who did not like Islam pretended friendship with Muslims and accompanied Muhammad in his raids.  

One such man was Abdullah ibn Ubay, a leader of Medina. He was a powerful man but he feared his life and despite criticizing Muhammad secretly, he pretended to be a Muslim. Muhammad was aware of Abdullah’s lack of faith and called him hypocrite. The son of Abdullah was a believer. He approached Muhammad and begged him that if it is the Prophet's wish to assassinate his father, please let him to do it. “If you ask another man to assassinate my father” he reasoned, “I may kill that man out of filial piety and revenge and go to hell for killing a Muslim. So if it is your wish that my father should be put to death, please allow me to fulfill that wish and gain the pleasure of Allah”.  

Pim Fortuyne and Theo Van Gogh are only two of the countless victims of Islam who paid with their lives for speaking out and warning their fellow citizens of this cult of death and terror. 

Muslims have always used terror to achieve their goal. Through intimidation and terror they have succeeded to become one of the major religions of the world. They will not abandon terror, because apart from deceit, terror is the only way they know how to advance their faith. Terror has worked for them in the past and it will continue to work in the future. It worked in Spain when through casting terror in Madrid' subways they forced the Spaniards to vote for a leftwing government that was more sympathetic to Islam and more accommodating of their wishes.  

That is why Osama bin Laden came out of his hole to tell the Americans whom to vote. He threatened them that he would target their states if Bush is elected in that state.  

Faith Freedom International is deeply saddened by the loss of Theo Van Gogh. He was a courageous man and another victim of Islamic madness. More are certain to follow him until the brainless leftist PCists wake up. More human sacrifices are necessary so people like John Kerry and his mindless supporters realize that by “reaching out to Muslims” they are playing with fire and endangering this planet.  

Over 80% of Muslims in America are going to vote for Kerry. Osama ordered the Americans to not vote for Bush or suffer the consequences. The terrorists in Iraq have increased their activities to intimidate the Americans and reduce the chances of Bush's reelection. The Iranian Mullahs, Arafat and all the enemies of America have said it very publicly that they want Kerry in the White House. At these last hours all I can do is to pray that the Americans get some sense of reality and wake up from their foolish dreams.  

Remember America, if you vote for Kerry you are voting for Islam. That is the greatest gift you can give the Muslim terrorists. Only one word can describe this anti Bush madness and that is idiocy. This is a mistake that you won’t be able to undo. This is one mistake that will make you regret for ever. Don’t be a fool. Say no to the Muslims appeaser John Kerry. Say no to the candidate of the terrorists.
