The
assassination of Theo van Gogh was a shock to the world and to the
very non-engaged, neutral Holland. The film director and TV presenter
was born in the Hague. He was the great-grandson of Theo van Gogh –
the brother of Vincent van Gogh.
He
didn't graduate the University of Amsterdam, his passion to make and
discover the film industry predominated his life. Even though he
always tried to be politically non-engaged, he wrote a book "Allah
weet het better"/ "Allah knows better" – which
appeared shortly after the tragedy of the Twin Towers at 11 of
September 2001. The publication and outspoken point of view led to a
disaster, his death. The book strongly criticized the Islam and the
fundamental movements.
Theo
van Gogh was assassinated in Amsterdam, while cycling to work at
November 4th, 2004. The assassin, Mohammed
Bouyeri, was a 26-year-old Dutch-Moroccan citizen, apprehended by
police after a chase, while he tried to run off he was shot in the
leg. Van Gogh was shot several times, the wounds were severe, all of
them lethal. While struggling for life van Gogh asked for mercy, in
contrary, the assassin, cut his throat, he also wanted to decapitate
him, he put the knife deep into his chest by which he broke the spinal
cord asunder. The smaller knife was used as a 'paper clip' to which
the message was enclosed.
