Filmmaker, columnist en regisseur Theo van Gogh werd op de ochtend van 2 november 2004 in de Amsterdamse Linnaeusstraat door Mohammed Bouyeri vermoord..
De moord :
Op dinsdag 2 november 2004 fietste Van Gogh om half negen 's ochtends door de Linnaeusstraat te Amsterdam. Toen hij voorbij het stadsdeelkantoor Oost/Watergraafsmeer reed, werd hij door een andere fietser, Bouyeri, met een pistool onder vuur genomen. Van Gogh werd door acht kogels getroffen. Ook twee omstanders werden geraakt. Hierna kwam Bouyeri naar Van Gogh toe en sneed hij met een groot mes de keel van Van Gogh door.
Vervolgens stak hij dit mes diep in het lichaam van Van Gogh. Van Gogh overleed ter plekke. Met een kleiner fileermes stak Bouyeri een brief gericht aan Ayaan Hirsi Ali op het lichaam van Van Gogh. Bouyeri gaf met enkele uitspraken direct een indruk van zijn motieven. Volgens twee getuigenverklaringen sprak hij kort na zijn daad een omstander aan:
-
- Bouyeri: "Wat kijk je?"
- Omstander: "Dat kun je toch niet maken."
- Bouyeri: "Dat kan ik wel, waarom niet... hij heeft het ernaar gemaakt."
- Omstander: "Dit kan toch niet, dit kan je toch niet maken."
- Bouyeri: "Dat kan ik wel en dan weten jullie ook wat je te wachten staat."
Hierna liep Bouyeri rustig het nabijgelegen Oosterpark in.. lees verder over de moord op wikipeda
Who was Theo van Gogh ?
Theodoor "Theo" van Gogh (Dutch: [ˈteːjoː vɑn ˈɣɔx], 23 July 1957 – 2 November 2004) was a Dutch film director, film producer, columnist, author and actor.
Van Gogh worked with the Somali-born writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali to produce the filmSubmission, which criticized the treatment of women in Islam and aroused controversy among Muslims. On 2 November 2004 he was assassinated by Mohammed Bouyeri, aDutch-Moroccan Muslim.
The last film he completed before his death, 06/05, was loosely based on the assassination of the politician Pim Fortuyn.
Political views and controversial statements
Van Gogh was a member of the Dutch republican society Republikeins Genootschap, which advocates the abolition of the Dutch monarchy. He was a friend and supporter of the controversial Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn, who was assassinated in 2002.
In the 1980s, Van Gogh became a newspaper columnist, and through the years he used his columns to vent his anger at politicians, actors, film directors, writers and other people he considered to be part of "the establishment". He was a controversial figure who delighted in provocation. He filled his website, "De Gezonde Roker" ("The Healthy Smoker"), with harsh criticism of multicultural society. He said the Netherlands was so rife with social turmoil that it was in danger of turning into "something Belfast-like
Submission
Working from a script written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Van Gogh created the ten-minute short film Submission. The movie deals with violence against women in some Islamic societies; it tells the stories, using visual shock tactics, of four abused Muslim women. The title,Submission, is a translation of the word "Islam" into English; it refers to Muslims' submission before God. In the film, women's naked bodies, with texts from the Qur'an written on them, are veiled with semi-transparent shrouds as they kneel in prayer, telling their stories as if they are speaking to Allah.
In August 2004, after the movie's broadcast on Dutch public TV, the newspaper De Volkskrant reported that the journalist Francisco van Jole had accused Hirsi Ali and Van Gogh of plagiarism,[citation needed] saying that they had appropriated the ideas of Iranian-Americanvideo artist Shirin Neshat, whose work used Arabic text projected onto bodies.
After Submission was broadcast, Van Gogh and Hirsi Ali received death threats. Van Gogh did not take the threats seriously and refused any protection. According to Hirsi Ali, he said, "Nobody kills the village idiot", a term he frequently used in self-reference more on wikipedia
