THE ENEMY STRIKES: Another Jihadist murder – this time aimed directly at the West’s freedom of speech:
A Dutch filmmaker who had received death threats after releasing a movie criticizing the treatment of women under Islam was slain in Amsterdam on Tuesday, police said. A suspect, a 26-year-old man with dual Dutch-Moroccan nationality, was arrested after a shootout with officers that left him wounded, police said.

Van Gogh had received police protection after its release.
