Report: Dutch filmmaker shot for criticizing Islam By ASSOCIATED PRESS AMSTERDAM, Netherlands A Dutch filmmaker was shot dead outside a city government office Monday morning in Amsterdam, police said. Police spokeswoman Elly Florax confirmed media reports that the victim was filmmaker Theo van Gogh, who had made headlines recently with a film critical of some elements of Islamic culture. Florax said a suspect in the shooting was arrested after a shootout with police in a local park. The suspect and a police officer were injured in the shootout, none of them seriously, Florax said. The suspect, who was not identified, was taken to a hospital where he was being guarded by police. Van Gogh stirred controversy in the Netherlands with a short film that tells the fictional story of a Muslim woman forced into a violent marriage, raped by a relative and brutally punished for adultery. The film, "Submission," was scripted by a right-wing politician who had renounced the Islamic faith of her birth. Several Muslim groups and newspapers criticized it as a shallow provocation that lacked insight. Thanks Haim R. Branisteanu for finding this.
