VAN GOGH’S MURDER LAST YEAR SENT SHOCK WAVES THROUGH THE NETHERLANDS,
VIDEO HERE
Mohammed Bouyeri frequently visited the El Tawheed mosque where he met other radical muslims, among whom the terrorism suspect Samir A.. With them he is said to have formed the Hofstad Network, a Dutch terrorist cell.
The man charged with the murder of the controversial Dutch film-maker Theo van Gogh is refusing to co-operate in his trial, which starts on Monday.
Prosecutors allege that Mohammed Bouyeri killed Theo van Gogh last year in a ritualistic murder carried out in the name of radical Islam.
He is also accused of the attempted murder of bystanders and police, and obstructing the work of an MP.
Mr Bouyeri has instructed his lawyer not to present a case in his defence.
Why will Netherland News not show his eyes?
When arrested Bouyeri had on him a poem on him as he was intending to die a “martyr”:
BAPTIZED IN BLOOD
So these are my last words…
riddled with bullets…
baptized in blood…
as I had hoped.
I am leaving a message…
for you… the fighter…
the Tawheed tree is waiting…
yearning for your blood…
enter the bargain…
and Allah opens the way…
He gives you a garden…
instead of the Earthly rubble.
To the enemy I say…
You will surely die…
Wherever in the world you go…
Death is waiting for you…
Chased by the knights of DEATH…
who paint the streets with Red.
For the hypocrites I have one final word…
Wish DEATH or hold your tongue… and sit.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, my end is nigh…
But this does not end the story.
Pinned to the body of Van Gogh with a smaller knife, Bouyeri left a second letter, consisting of five pages, in which Hirsi Ali, the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and politicians in general are warned. It contains repeated references to alleged Jewish influences in politics. The letter refers to the fundamentalist ideology of the Takfir wal-Hijra. This letter probably wasn’t written by Mohammed Bouyeri himself, but by his group’s ideologist.
When police searched Bouyeri’s home they found…
…pictures that show executions, beheadings, hangings, throat cuttings, amputations and killings by stoning.
