A LETTER FOR THEO

In case you didn't know: "Theo Van Gogh, a distant relative of the painter Vincent Van Gogh, was shot six times and almost decapitated with a butcher's knife in daylight as he cycled down a street in Amsterdam last week. A five-page letter declaring holy war and threatening death to the critics of Islam was stabbed to his chest with a knife."
A sarcastic letter was read as part of the funeral for Theo Van Gogh. HERE'S A SNIPPET:
"we will do our very best to learn more about your beliefs to prevent further misunderstanding", and apologising that the killing "had to happen in the middle of Ramadan".
The murder has opened a lot of Dutch eyes, it seems:
"Since the killing, several mosques have been attacked, an Islamic school has been bombed and, yesterday, Protestant churches in Utrecht and Amersfoort had petrol bombs thrown at them."
IMHO: It all started in Iran with the overthrow of the Shah - then, not long after that, came the fatwa against Rushdie - that was 25 years ago! And they kept attacking us - year after year, all over the world, but it wasn't until 9/11 that we fought back. We're fighting back. And the enemy - the Jihadoterrorists - don't like that one bit. And they're desperately trying to keep their Jihad going - and they keep using terror to do that. When they blew up the UN mission in Baghdad, and the UN split - their terror worked. The murder of Van Gogh is an attempt to get the entire nation of the Netherlands to cower and capitulate. Yesterday they kidnapped a few members of Allawi's family to try to get him to cower and capitulate on Falluja; he hasn't - yet. He wants to fight back - and now it seems that the Dutch want to fight back, too.
