Alonsovich said:Theo Van Gogh.
Mr Sparkle said:LOL, theo Van Gogh was murdered, would you compare that to a "terrorist attack" I mean, because you seem to equate the murder of theo Van Gogh to the Twin Tower attacks.
I mean, I hope you're not, but maybe you are......and not only that, but....who killed theo van gogh? Bin Laden? a plane?????
who???
wikipedia said:Mohammed Bouyeri assasinated van Gogh in the early morning of Tuesday November 2, 2004, in Amsterdam in front of the Amsterdam East borough office (stadsdeelkantoor) on the corner of the Linnaeusstraat and Tweede Oosterparkstraat streets. He shot him with eight bullets from a HS2000 (a handgun produced in 2000 in Croatia), and Van Gogh died on the spot. Bouyeri slit van Gogh's throat and then stabbed him in the chest. Two knives were left implanted in his torso, one pinning a five-page note to his body. The note (Text) threatened Western governments, Jews and Hirsi Ali (who went into hiding). The note also contains references to the ideologies of the Egyptian organization Takfir wal-Hijra.
Takfir wal-Hijra (Excommunication and Exodus) is a violent Islamic Salafi extremist group who branched out from Sayyid Qutb's Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in the 1960s. Today Takfir wal-Hajra has members or supporters in several other countries, allied to Al-Qaeda. In Spain the group is also known as Martyrs for Morocco.
Takfirs are radical islamists who are not bound by the usual Islamic religious constraints. They adopt non-Islamic appearances such as shaving their beard and wearing a tie in order to blend into crowds and make themselves hard to detect even to other Muslims. They can drink alcohol and even eat pork to deceive their enemies. They believe that any means justify the end and, that killing other Muslims can be justified in their cause and that Western society is heathen and it is their duty to destroy it.[1]
Alonsovich said:Sounds like terrorism to me...
Mr Sparkle said:so, the question again.
the murder of Theo Van Gogh = an attack on a nation?
(oh and I know the story, spare me the celldog like articles and just answer the question)
Alonsovich said:Yes. The ETA terrorists have been doing this since 30 years ago in Spain as a way of taking out people that question their ideology in public and they're taken as an attack to the spanish system of freedom of speech. This is the same case. Radical muslim linked to the suspects of the Madrid bombings shoots dead one of the most vocal critics in public of Islamic radicalism. It's called inducing fear, and it's a tactic that has been used many times by terrorist groups.

Mr Sparkle said:gotcha sport, nice leap in logic

Mr Sparkle said:so, again, In your head:
the murder of a filmaker that critized islamic fundamentalism (or whatever) by an amsterdam born loon who happened to be part an extremist group native to region.
is equal to
the murder of 3,000 people by a highly trained and focused foreign born agents of a terrorist organization specifically decrying the US involvement in the region.
Mr Sparkle said:gotcha sport, nice leap in logic, guess the netherlands should join the ever expanding war on terror.![]()
The murder of one or the murder of 3000 is of the same greatness. Murder is murder. And if the idea behind that murder is indeed the same, than both are equally as important. Infact, the murder of one has much more power than the killing of thousands.Mr Sparkle said:so, again, In your head:

Alonsovich said:Yes. Both are radical islamism's reaction to a provocation. The only difference is the scope of the provocation and the reaction. In it's core... the idea of both is 100% the same.
Actually... that's YOUR leap in logic. I never said a word about the war on terror. In fact... I don't give a flying s**t about it since I'm not American. I just told you between the lines to not use the example of the Netherlands, but you didn't get it.

Mr Sparkle said:1. no, you just wrote the most idiotic thing ever on these boards, ever, congrats.
2. no, I got it, you where just wrong, I was merely showing you how wrong you where, it seems it's you who "didn't get it" again, congrats.

I am not adressing who was involved, im talking about the philosphy you can chose to adopt regarding the killing of one or a group.Mr Sparkle said:yes, in a very touchy feely lifetime channel way.
however, the idea behind the murders WAS NOT THE SAME, and no, by no flight of fancy did the citizens of the netherlands shrunk back in abject horror as they learned of the murder of Theo Van Gogh.
c'mon now, you're joking right?

Alonsovich said:Wow... I guess then the british and the spaniard police forces must be totally wrong to label the selective killings as terrorist acts... I think it's you who doesn't get it.
Sofa said:I am not adressing who was involved, im talking about the philosphy you can chose to adopt regarding the killing of one or a group.
And, in any case, i dont think anyone here can actually decide how important one type or reason for killing is over another.
Comparing everything around you will lead you nowhere. You wont convince him of your point of view.Mr Sparkle said:that really wasn't what we where talking about but ok. sure.
Mr Sparkle said:totally, just keep going in that direction and compare both acts as if they had the same motivation, results or where comparable aside from the fact that they share the "extremist muslim" words somewhere around their articles.
(when the article you posted proves that they don't) just keep going alonsovich. eventually and with some work you'll understand how astoundingly idiotic you're sounding right now![]()
