Talk:Theo van Gogh
From WikiIslam
Hey Whale, did he really call them goatfuckers, and if so, why remove it?--Natassia 18:00, 30 November 2009 (PST)
- It was unsourced, I couldnt find the quote on wikipedia and the web mentions it but we dont know if its true or a rumour. --Whale 18:16, 30 November 2009 (PST)
- Thanks for the clarification, Whale. Unsourced quotes hurt ones reliability. I'll try to find the original source for this rumor.--Natassia 20:24, 30 November 2009 (PST)
Well, it appears that perhaps he did use the term "goatfuckers"...
From the article Theo van Gogh: Hero, Anti-Semite, Misogynist or Islamophobe? by Herman de Tollenaere:
In his book Allah Knows Best (2001) he wrote: "There is a Fifth Column of goatfuckers in this country, who despise and spit at its native people. They hate our freedom." "Soon, the Fifth Column of goatfuckers will hurl poison gas, diseases and atomic bombs at your children and my children."
I can't guarantee the accuracy of the translation or the motives of the writer, but perhaps the rumor does have some merit after all.--Natassia 20:32, 30 November 2009 (PST)
- Well see I dont know if it puts him in a good light so maybe its better to not have it here and also, he didnt say 'muslims' in that quote even though he may be implying it. One could argue he was refering to extremist/terrorist muslims only (for example). Its better to leave it out in my opinion. I should have mentioned that before you went to search for references, sorry. --Whale 20:45, 30 November 2009 (PST)
