L’infidèle

Un reportage très intéressant sur le meurtre dégueulasse du cinéaste hollandais Theo van Gogh, tué en pleine rue parce qu'il avait osé critiquer l'Islam.

Van Gogh's public persona was that of a fat, abusive, witty, politically incorrect buffoon, equal parts Johnny Knoxville and Michael Moore, the self-proclaimed "dorpsgek" ("village idiot") of the Netherlands. That such a character should become a victim of international jihad seemed an absurd joke or category error, as though the 9/11 terrorists had tried to blow up the town of South Park.
