I just found someplace that might have more silly hatred than France and SI. Seriously, I always thought things were pretty good in Holland. But what do I know? You've got animal rights guys killing gay anti-muslims. Who'd figure that? I didn't make this up.

Dutch politician's killer gets 18 years
15 April 2003
The assassin of Dutch populist politician Pim Fortuyn was jailed for 18 years today.

Animal rights activist Volkert van der Graaf admitted shooting Mr Fortuyn at point-blank range nine days before the elections last May which swept the taboo-breaking politician's novice party into power.

Mr Fortuyn, 54, a homosexual who courted controversy by calling for an immigration freeze and criticising Islam, was shot outside a radio station in Hilversum, near Amsterdam. Van der Graaf was arrested minutes later.

"The accused went about his plan to kill the victim with calm consideration," the presiding judge told a court in Amsterdam.
