Son of Van Gogh was beaten twice and threatened with death by Moroccans in 2005
April 25, 2006
MIM: According to this absurdly short news item Ebru Umar, who worked with Theo van Gogh, was followed by two Moroccan youths who hit her in the face. She fell against a wall and was wounded in her head. She published columns on the website of Theo van Gogh and wrote a book called "Burqas and Blahniks". According to the report:
Umar called the police immediately after the incident . She filed a report the same evening. The police in Amsterdam will not be investigating the incident. According to protocol the police are not permitted to do anything outside of their designated tasks. The same thing happened after Theo's son Lieuwe was assaulted at school- by Moroccans who said "we are going to do the same thing to you as your father". The family filed a report and the police did nothing. Shortly after Van Gogh's murder Moroccan youths also came to the Van Gogh home and rang the bell looking for his son who was beaten twice by Muslims.

--------------- http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/880 July 25, 2005 Moroccans beat up Van Gogh's son 14 Since the murder of Theo van Gogh last November his now 14 year old son Lieuwe has been physically attacked by young Moroccans, or (more likely) Dutch citizens of Moroccan descent. [Link, in Dutch.] Van Gogh's parents said this in an interview on national television. They insisted their grandson had done nothing to provoke the assaults. In one incident, recalled Anneke van Gogh, Theo's mother, "[Lieuwe] was walking the dog in the Watergraafsmeer area of Amsterdam, and they came up to him and said, 'Is your name van Gogh?' Lieuwe said no, of course, but they beat him anyway." She also recounted how, some time after Theo van Gogh's assassination, a group of Moroccans appeared in the street where he had lived, inquiring about Lieuwe's whereabouts. It was the neighbors' impression that the visitors weren't there to offer condolences, and the police were called — but according to the filmmaker's mother, no one bothered to show up. That would have been in keeping with local officers' alleged non-action after the two beatings Lieuwe received. The cops were called then, too, Anneke van Gogh told the TV interviewer, but they declined to make an appearance. Recently, Lieuwe was transferred to another class, in another building of his school, after he'd been repeatedly bullied by Muslim pupils. His grandmother said that Lieuwe had had to endure taunts like "Good thing they killed your dad." The news of the attacks on the 14-year-old came just a day after Theo's killer, Mohammed Bouyeri, was sentenced to life without parole. Through the verdict, Lieuwe held his head high. His response afterwards was that he would send Bouyeri a postcard with the words "Theo Forever." |
