Has anyone seen "Submission" The movie Theo van Gogh was murdered for

Forgive me for being picky, pedantic, and sidetracked. But Theo wasn't murdered "for the movie." That is actually a lame excuse. Don't buy it. Theo was murdered by fundamentalist zealot nutjobs because of THEIR skewed un-Islamic beliefs.

Let's say you wore some crazy hairstyle and it offended someone's "religion," and they murdered you. It wasn't your hair that got you killed, It was the whacko beliefs of the person that actually did the act.

Thanks for posting the link.
 
well sure, he was murdered because he made that movie and that guy did not like that. But lots of people were happy he got killed.
 
Then i disagree

On November 2, 2004, Theo van Gogh was assassinated in public by Mohammed Bouyeri, a Dutch Muslim of Moroccan descent.

Besides Bouyeri, eleven other Muslim men were arrested and charged with conspiracy to assassinate Hirsi Ali.

Imam Fawaz of the as-Sunnah Mosque in The Hague gave a sermon several weeks before the murder in which he called Theo van Gogh, "a 'criminal bastard' and beseech[ed] Allah to visit an incurable disease upon the filmmaker

Geert Wilders and Ayaan Hirsi Ali went into hiding for several weeks. Wilders has been under the protection of bodyguards ever since and Hirsi Ali eventually relocated to the United States.

Theo van Gogh's son claims he has been attacked on several occasions by young people of Moroccan and Turkish descent, and that the police did not provide him with any help or protection.[3] The police deny receiving any report of attacks.[4][5]

Looks like it's more then just one guy, or even one group. Seems like alot of people are mad about that movie
