Van Gogh's grandson killed for insulting Islam

Little Green Footballs posts a story about Theo Van Gogh, grandson of Vincent, who released a film in August, "Submission," that was critical of Islam. He was shot and stabbed to death today by a man "dressed as a Muslim or Arab," who was wounded by officers and taken into custody.

The Dutch prime minister is sensibly calling for an investigation before conclusions are reached, but does anyone really need more evidence that criticizing Islam isn't something you can get away with without putting yourself in danger? Imagine how it feels to live in a country where Sharia law dominates the society. It is the job of free people everywhere to help others to be free. Sharia law is the opposite of that freedom, and must be opposed everywhere as global communism was opposed, for the good of all people.
