'Islamophobia' — They're killing your filmmakers, throwing grenades at your police, but your fear of them is a phobia, a psychological imbalance... thank you, pompous Guardian journalist, for explaining the Dutch people's delusion to them...

Richard you are jumping the gun there. The writer did not himself say that van Gogh or anyone else had "Islamaphobia", he just mentioned that van Gogh had been reffered to as such.

(This interpretation stems from writings attributed to Khomeini on the proper preparation of meat, in which he appeared to suggest that if a man has sex with an animal, the animal should not be eaten unless the man did not have an orgasm.)

ummm...WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!??

The link to part 2 of the article didn't work for me, have others had the same problem?

Like Islam the second link doesn't work for me either

Richard, after working with them for the past seven years I too have 'islamophobia'.

I also had dealings with them in Amsterdam when I lived there, not pretty.

I've worked with lefties who've turned 180 degrees after encountering them.

You would too.

Here's a working link to the second part.

Thanks Bruce, it wasn't working for me either.

"Excellent Piece".
"Guardian".
In same sentence.
It does not compute.

But seriously folks, sometimes the Guardian has good articles in. Even the moonbat ones are usually well written, even if the intellectual component is foetid.

"When Theo Van Gogh was SLAUGHTERED in the street"

Cannot believe the use of the word slaughtered by the Guardian!
Perhaps they'll start using it in the cases of beheadings in Iraq too.

WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!??

We are dealing with Satan here and you want normality!?

It would seem, that 'normality', has passed through the looking-glass.

sigh...

Unarmed, on a bicycle!! What kind of righties are these!! Do they not know it is derigueur to carry a 12 gauge street sweeper in their SUV.

Guardian? I thought it was the "Observer"

Fortunately, I'm not a Pom, but are they the same thing?

The Guardian and Observer are not the same newspaper, they employ different editors, journalists and staff, although they are owned (since 1995) by the same people. The Observer is, in some ways, treated as the Sunday version of the Guardian, and is probably bought by the same people. Although both are left wing, they do differ on some points. For instance, the Guardian was against the war in Iraq while the Observer supported it.
