The Death of Theo van Gogh and the Limits of Tolerance It was already a dreary, late-autumn morning in Amsterdam when Mohammed Bouyeri made it that much drearier by blasting filmmaker and provocateur Theo van Gogh off his bicycle. He then slashed van Gogh's throat, planted the knife in van Gogh's chest, and used another to pin a note to him, a rambling tract calling for a holy war against unbelievers. Then Bouyeri kicked the corpse. He was arrested after a gunfight with police. "Murder in Amsterdam" is Ian Buruma's exploration of the event, its context and fallout. It is a work of philosophical and narrative tension, strikingly sharp and brooding, frank and openly curious. Which is apt, for here is the Netherlands -- home to the Enlightenment, bastion of tolerance -- experiencing an act of mortal intolerance. The Netherlands, where multiculturalism is worn on its sleeve, meets its evil twin. sfgate.com
