The Irony: In most of the west, the film people say a film maker is "courageous" when he takes on western governments, or corporations, or politicians, or other people who never actually hurt film makers. REAL courage is when you actaully experience personal risk. THIS was a courageous film maker; daring to challenge muslims. Others cannot claim the title.

>>This was to be expected since the politicians have made every effort to look the other way...FJV<< Concur! In their haste to protect Islam, politicians have failed to protect the most vulnerable citizens in Western civilization. Van Gogh, whatever his foibles, was brave enough to expose Islam for the disgusting excuse of a religion it is! We can only hope that the Dutch and other European countries arise from their slumber and take the 'Bull by the Horns'! If their was any doubt what the Islamist game plan is, the declaration spiked into the chest of Theo Van Gogh should remove it: "Death, Ms. Hirsi Ali, is the common theme of all that exists. You and the rest of the cosmos cannot escape this truth,". "There will come a day when one soul cannot help another soul. A day that goes paired with terrible tortures, ... when the unjust will press horrible screams from their lungs. "Screams, Ms. Hirsi Ali, that will cause chills to run down a person's back, and make the hairs on their heads stand straight up. People will be drunk with fear, while they are not drunken. Fear will fill the air on the Great Day,". "I know definitely that you, Oh America, will go down. I know definitely that you, Oh Europe, will go down. I know definitely that you, Oh Netherlands, will go down. I know definitely that you, Oh Hirsi Ali, will go down,". Olde Europe has an opportunity once again to join with President Bush's Administration, and the American people in their 'War on Terrorism'. Let's hope that the people and politicians of Europe wake up before it's too late. On Watch, Let's Roll
