Tomorrow on the show we will look into the murder of the Dutch film maker Theo Van Gogh, which has shocked the tiny European nation known for its deep level of tolerance. Things may be changing there as this is the second public assassination in as many years. Rumors have been spreading over the brutal nature of Van Gogh's death, and clues have led to radical Islamic groups. Since the assassination tensions have been rising and tempers flaring resulting in the bombing of an Islamic school.
Always controversial (known as the Dutch Michael Moore) Van Gogh had been working on the second part of a two part movie written by Somali-born Dutch Member of Parliament Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The two had repeatedly received death threats over their portrayal of four Muslim women who were beaten, raped and forced into marriage in a short ten minute documentary.
So where will all of this controversy drive this country?
