The truth about Islam - Working from a script written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Van Gogh created the 10-minute movie Submission. The movie deals with the topic of violence against women in Islamic societies; telling the stories of four abused Muslim women. The title itself, "Submission", is the translation of the word "Islam" into English. In the film, women's naked bodies are veiled with semi-transparent shrouds as they kneel in prayer, telling their stories as if they are speaking to Allah. Qur'anic verses unfavourable to women are projected onto their bodies in Arabic. After the movie was released in 2004, both Van Gogh and Hirsi Ali received death threats. Van Gogh did not take these very seriously and refused any protection.
Van Gogh's murder Mohammed Bouyeri assassinated Van Gogh in the early morning of Tuesday November 2, 2004, in Amsterdam while he was bicycling to work. He shot him eight times with a handgun and Van Gogh died on the spot. Bouyeri then cut Van Gogh's throat, nearly decapitating him, and stabbed him in the chest. Two knives were left implanted in his torso, one attaching a five-page note to his body. The note threatened Western governments, Jews and Ayaan Hirsi Ali (who went into hiding). The note also contained references to the ideologies of the Egyptian organization Takfir wal-Hijra.
The killer, Mohammed Bouyeri, a 26-year-old Dutch citizen, was apprehended by the police after being shot in the leg. Although born in Amsterdam, well-educated and apparently well-integrated, Bouyeri has alleged terrorist ties with the Dutch Hofstad Network. He was also charged with the attempted murder of a police officer and bystander, illegal possession of a firearm, and conspiring to assassinate others, including Hirsi Ali. He was convicted on July 26, 2005 and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.

There is no country at present which does not permit this to happen. What people need to understand is that from a mystical point of view submission to a belief system is not to be considered permissieable or desireable. Practicing a belief system without doing it at somebody else´s expense. That is the challenge today´s religious beliefs!
Islam is about submission, submit to islam and they will be happy. Thank god there are countries like Israel and America that will not allow this to happen. If Muslims have their way, every man on earth will be named mohammed, and every lady named Fatima, and you will be forced to convert to islam no matter what. Its how they operate, we cannot let these monsters rule over us.
DO NOT allow your friend to marry this muslim man. I GUARANTEE , his family will not accept her as their own, and will make her cover her self and wear a burqa. If the husband does abuse her, his family will not correct him..they will let the violence continue. I lived in an arab country for 7 years, i know what im talking about.
