Last week, someone here in the Netherlands was shot, cut and left dead with a note containing islamic quotes, just because he spoke out. His name was Theo van Gogh. He was buried today.
Why? Because he made a movie about the lack of female rights in the islam. The hurt, the shame, the utter lack of respect for fellow human beings.
We all believe in freedom of speech, but when you do, you can be killed, locked up, or be otherwise infringed upon you basic rights. So what are we talking about? There is no freedom of speech, just freedom of thought!
Sad to see people being hurt in any way, just because they speak in stead of think. I thought America would take their bill of rights very serious, but this kind of thing makes it just words on paper. Not an ideologie.
