Foreign News on Van Gogh’s Asassination:

The Dutch daily NRC has an overview of the foreign news-sources on the killing of Van Gogh (oh and please, no it’s not Vincent van Gogh but Theo van Gogh).

And please bear with me:
* we know Van Gogh is killed;
* we know the accused is a Moroccan-Dutch male;

We do NOT know:
* if he is a muslim
* why he committed this act (even if he is a muslims, that does not mean that an act by a muslim is a political, religious or even terrorist act)
* so we do not know if Van Gogh is killed because of his islam-bashing.

Dutch director Theo van Gogh murdered in Amsterdam

AMSTERDAM � Film director Theo van Gogh was shot and killed in Amsterdam on Tuesday morning, his production company said.

“Locals claim the assassin looked like “a Muslim” and that a letter was left on Van Gogh’s body. The letter allegedly had Islamic text, but this has not been confirmed.

Van Gogh, 47, directed the controversial movie Submission � written by Somali-born MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali � which criticised the Koran for sanctioning domestic violence in Islamic communities.

He recently received numerous death threats following the release of Submission. He was also making a movie about populist Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn who was assassinated in Hilversum in May 2002. The film is due for release on the internet via Tiscali in several weeks time.

Meanwhile, RTL-Z business news reported that Hirsi Ali who wrote the scenario for the film Submission has been taken to a secure location by her protection officers. She has had armed protection for more than a year after her life was threatened when she criticised Islam. ”

Islam vanuit radicaal-christelijk perspectief: Mohammed believe it or else

ReligionResearch Islam Blog

Uit de radicaal-Christelijke hoek een nieuwe anti-islam strategie in de vorm van een strip: Mohammed believe it or else. Wij zouden het misschien vertalen als Asterix en Obelix bij de moslims. In Trouw (Islam-strip
/ ‘Zie en huiver’)
van vandaag aandacht hiervoor, maar zie ook de websites Faithdefenders.com en Davidsonpress.

Leeuwarder Courant – Hoofdblad van Friesland

Wilders is opnieuw bedreigd, ditmaal op de msn site Jama’ at al-Tawheed Wal Jihaad (zie http://links.martijndekoning.com alwaar ook een link naar een .tk domein te vinden is). In een video wordt opgeroepen Wilders te onthoofden. Een kleine minderheid die hierachter staat waarschijnlijk getuige de afkeurende reacties op Marokko.nl, Maghrebonline.nl en Maroc.nl

Trouw, religie & filosofie – Robert Solomon / Wij zijn geen slaaf van onze passie

Met ‘The Passions’ opende Robert Solomon, filosofieprofessor in Texas, in 1976 het emotiedebat dat de westerse wijsbegeerte sindsdien bezighoudt. In zijn recente bundel ‘Not Passion’s Slave. Emotions and Choice’ weigert Solomon nog altijd terug te gaan naar het aloude onderscheid tussen emotie en rede.

De Groene 10-09-2004004: Interview Abram de Swaan

De Duitse bezetting, Sebrenica, Irak, moslimterrorisme, geweld op het voetbalveld – Abraham de Swaan signaleert het Nederlandse onvermogen in te zien dat de wereld gevaarlijk is.

door Sander Pleij

“Hem (Abraham de Swaan, MdK) blijft de vraag bezighouden hoe zoveel twintigste-eeuwse staten effectieve moord machines konden worden. Hoe kan het dat burgers zo collectief uitvoerders en mede plich tigen werden in massamoorden?”

Christenen Midden-Oosten / 'Willen de moslims ons eruit schoppen?'

Trouw, religie & filosofie – Christenen Midden-Oosten / ‘Willen de moslims ons eruit schoppen?’

“De veelkleurigheid die het Midden-Oosten eeuwenlang kenmerkte en het boeiendst is beschreven in Lawrence Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet (1975-1960), dreigt te worden teruggebracht tot de platte monotonie van een enkele godsdienst en een paar toegestane talen. Dat is niet alleen treurig voor de betrokken christenen, maar voor de hele regio.”

African Studies Centre – CONFLICT IN SUDAN: THE CASE OF DARFUR

The Library, Documentation and Information Department of the African Studies Centre Leiden has compiled a web dossier on conflict in Sudan, and especially Darfur, to coincide with a workshop held at the ASC on 10 September 2004. The workshop brought together scholars involved in African Studies and journalists with a special interest in Africa in order to exchange ideas on information gathering and media coverage of African issues, in particular conflicts and war. The current crisis in Darfur was
discussed as an example. The dossier aims to give background information on the Darfur crisis within the context of the wider conflict in Sudan. It contains a selection of titles from the ASC library’s online catalogue on Darfur, the conflict in Sudan, and media coverage of conflicts in Africa in general, covering monographs as well as articles and chapters from edited works. The dossier further contains an introduction on the Darfur crisis and links to selected web resources.

Chatroom Revolutionaries Iran�s dissidents and exiles discover the Web.

“”Got a Mullah?” asks a stainless steel coffee mug for sale on the Web. Emblazoned alongside the question is a cartoon of a giant hand clenching two irritated-looking clerics who resemble Iran�s late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

One click away, a heather gray, 100-percent cotton T-shirt proclaiming “Free All Political Prisoners in Iran NOW!” features a famous image of Ahmad Batebi, an Iranian film student sentenced to 15 years for anti-mullah activities. The widely reproduced image shows Batebi�s “crime”: holding aloft a bloodstained shirt that belonged to a friend beaten by regime forces.”

I guess I am not the only one who is blogging. “Nearly all the information from Iraq is filtered by politicians or the media. But there is at least one way to get the news straight from Iraqis themselves, via online journals or blogs.”

The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of a martyr

Sister Soljah
The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of a martyr

Recently I have updated my blogroll (see the right part of this blog) with several very nice and interesting blogs from muslims. The one I am referring to here, is only one of them but I could not resist the slogan….which is originally a saying by the prophet Mohammed (I think it is). He probably did not refer to me as I am not a muslim, nevertheless I consider myself to be a scholar on islam. I would hope more people complied with this slogan, than with other slogans.
