shaking the tree.

Yesterday, a terible thing happened. Theo van Gogh a writer, tvmaker has been murdered.
Not in an accident or something like that, no not at all.
In broad daylight, when children went to school, escorted by their mothers a guy
(26 years old) walke up to him, and shot him. Theo fel down still alive begging mercy for his life, than the murderer stabbed him with a knife, slit Theo's throat, and in addition planted a smaller knife with note attachted to it in Theo's belly.

Amsterdam mourned for the loss of Theo, but just as much for the freedom of speech. Theo was quit contraversiol in his tvmaking, and columms he wrote.
Having a different opnion should never be an excuse for a kill.
So in Holland the general opinion is Enough is enough, no more off it.
We want all our residents to behave and respect the values and norms we have as a Dutch society, tolerance and freedom of speech are just two of those values..
