Just ask Holland. |
It's sad but true that there is some form of self-censorship in Holland. Some columnists withdrew from the public debate after the Theo van Gogh murder and subsequent threats. Others can now claim personal protection.
The film 'Submission' - about the position of Muslim women - can not be shown again because the producer is threatened. However, Ayaan Hirshi Ali, an ex-Muslim Member of Parliament, who made the movie with Theo van Gogh and has since 24/7 protection, is working on a sequel 'Submission II' about the submissiveness of men towards Islam and its preachers and has announced plans for a new remake of 'Submission (I)', both with anonimous casts and producers.
