Mr Fortuyn provoked public indignation by calling for the Netherlands' borders to be closed to foreigners and by describing Islam as a 'backward' religion.

He made a bold maneuver and paid the ultimate price .
May he rest in peace.

I know this is bad for asking, but I don't watch much t.v, but who was he and what does/did he exactly do?? *knows theres a shun coming on, clenches and get's ready for it*

This is a bad, bad day for democracy. He made some bold statements, and not even near that of le Pen, and he is problably killed for it. Unbelievable.

I'm having trouble describing how much that statement disgust me.

What you're saying is that it is okay to kill your political opponants. [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]

Fortyun was not a 'nazi' - he was a right-wing politician (and openly homosexual) that fought ILLIGAL emigartion and crime

But of course you're right - only I don't like those damn commies - so why don't I go out and kill a some 'reds' and some anarcists (yes I'm being sarcastic)

I agree, the only politcal movement in europe ever who killed political opponents were the nazis themself. I guess this guy feels aligned with them.

You make him sound much better than he really was, his ideas were a bit more radical than that. Even though "nazi" is way too harsh as well.
Nevertheless, a black page in the history of the Netherlands and democracy, absolutely...

I wouldn't have voted for him, that for starters. But are you saying he was a nazi? With al due respect, you apperently don't know or realize what goes around in a "real" nazis head.
