Preview [Murder in Amsterdam 01] • The Death of Theo van Gogh and the Limits of Tolerance
Description:
It was an emblematic crime: on a November day in Amsterdam, an angry
young Muslim man shot and killed the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh,
iconic European provocateur, for making a movie with the anti-Islam
politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali. After shooting van Gogh, Mohammed Bouyeri
calmly stood over the body and cut his throat with a curved machete. The
murder horrified quiet, complacent Holland - a country that prides
itself on being a bastion of tolerance - and sent shock waves around the
world. In Murder in Amsterdam, Ian Buruma describes what he found when
he returned to his native country to try and make sense of van Gogh's
death. The result is Buruma's masterpiece: a brave and rigorous study of
conflict in our time, with the intimacy and control of a true-crime
page-turner.
