That was Theo van Gogh but he was killed by a wanabe Binladen which is not the average muslim. That guy who killed him was extreme and he sorta had it comming to him. He was looking for the line and he crossed it multiple times. But still, freedom of speech is a big thing here and totaly respected by most of us. But you just know how sensitive muslims are about their religion. He had collums in newpapers where he was very critical about the muslim society and called it and muslims all kinds of names. What he was really killed for is a short movie called Submission. In the movie naked muslim woman with koran texts painted on their bodies talk about the abuse they and other woman get in their culture which is justified by the men through religion. Naked muslim woman is a nono but those koran texts really pissed alot of em of.
It wasn't meant to provocate but make people think. And that's a core problem with muslim culture. They get offended before they even think for themselfs and they're not critical with themselfs. They hardly take a stand against other muslim countries like afghanistan which broke human rights left and right or condemn suicide terrorists. But when there's a cartoon with Mohammed in it all hell breaks lose.
