THIS WAR HAS MANY FRONTS

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - 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. Filmmaker Theo van Gogh had been threatened after the August airing of the movie "Submission," which he made with a right-wing Dutch politician who had renounced the Islamic faith of her birth. Van Gogh had received police protection after its release. Dutch national broadcaster NOS and other media reported that Van Gogh's killer shot and stabbed his victim and left a note on his body. NOS said witnesses described the attacker as having an "Arab appearance."

We are in a fight to the finish with people who reject all the fundamental beliefs of Western Civilization and are willing to do anything to achieve their goals. The enemy is powerfully motivated by an intense religious faith. Unfortunately, so many of our fellow citizens in the peaceful, prosperous West still DO NOT BELIEVE WE ARE IN AN EXISTENTIAL FIGHT. No amount of border guards, immigration laws, laws against wearing headscarves, bodyguards, airport screeners, or summits will defeat our enemies. Only a bold, radical effort to push the Islamic World into the 21st Century (an effort that won't succeed unless a majority of Muslims want it to) will serve to change the current dynamics.
