More on the Dutch reaction to the van Gogh murder

Posted by Robert on November 5, 2004 6:39 PM

Two stories from Radio Netherlands, with thanks to Hans de Vreij:

1)How to kill an unbeliever - Why the arrests made in the wake of the gruesome murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh are unlikely to uncover a Muslim terrorist network. Q&A with Prof. Hans Jansen, see [1] http://www.rnw.nl/hotspots/html/isl041105.html

2) Ominous letters - At least two more Dutch politicians have been given additional police protection in the wake of Tuesday's murder of Dutch film maker and columnist Theo van Gogh; Dutch gov't to announce
additional measures to combat radical Islam in the Netherlands.

See [2] http://www.rnw.nl/hotspots/html/dut041105.html

And indeed, the [3] Dutch government has declared war on Islamic extremism, which, although vague, is considerably clearer than "war on terror." (Thanks to Filtrat for the link.)
