Racist film director assassinated
- | 02.11.2004 11:57 | Anti-racism
The Dutch film director Theo van Gogh was assassinated this morning in what is probably a revenge killing for his anti-islam attitudes. Van Gogh was well known for his racist attitudes - he called Moroccan immigrants ‘goat-fuckers’ - and he was directing a thriller about the assassination of Pim Fortuyn. In the film, the murder of Fortuyn is depicted as a left-wing plot within the security services, an unlikely conspiracy theory, but popular with Fortuyn supporters.
A few weeks ago, he made a short anti-Islam film, in English, called “Submission’.

The idea and script were by the MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali and a vehement opponent of Islam. She is under permanent police protection anyway, so van Gogh may have been targeted instead. According to some media reports, a letter in Arabic was found beside van Gogh’s body. The killer has been arrested, so the details should soon be clear. Public opinion has already decided: some reactions on forums and weblogs call for all Muslims to be killed in revenge.
