In a parliamentary debate about Theo van Gogh's murder last week, lawmakers from both opposition and government parties urged Premier Jan Peter Balkenende to take urgent steps to increase public safety and restore confidence in the law.

The Nov. 2 killing triggered a cycle of retaliatory attacks on Islamic buildings and Christian churches that shocked this traditionally peaceful and tolerant nation.

"When it comes to preparing a terrorist attack, it's better to have 10 possibly innocent people temporarily in jail than one with a bomb on the street," said Maxime Verhagen, the floor leader of Balkenende's own Christian Democrats.

Jozias van Aartsen, leader of Balkende's Liberal allies, urged the government to close mosques where imams preach violence, shut down Web sites that spread antidemocratic ideas and beef up the intelligence services.

"mosques where imams preach violence" ??? If they're preaching their Koran - they're preaching violence {SEE for yourselves]

For those who believe that the Bible preaches the same? SEE} Here

Let the books speak for themselves!

"The Netherlands used to be an island of decency and tolerance," he said. "Not all Muslims are terrorists ... but there are a large number of terrorists in this world that feel attached to an identity as Muslim. [True - But what does 'allah' say? about that?] They want to destroy us."

004.095 Not equal are those believers who sit at home and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit at home. Unto all in Faith Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight hath He distinguished above those who sit at home by a special reward.

002.216 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing [war] which is good for you, and that ye love a thing [peace] which is bad for you?

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks. [Behead them] - [Includes all who believe in the Son of God]

002.191 Slay them wherever ye catch them

[Not equal are those believers who sit at home and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah]

Interior Minister Johan Remkes was widely accused of weak leadership for not giving police protection to Van Gogh, who had received death threats in April for his criticisms of Islam. Van Gogh's latest film, "Submission," was released in August and criticizes the way Islam treats women.

Is the Koran not 'sacred' enough to win hearts and minds with its own words? that it commands Muslims to slay the 'Unbelievers?

That is a god that forces himself upon all.

The Lord of the Bible does not force Himself upon humans.  They have the choice to hear Him - or not.  But when it comes to the resurrection of Life - The Lord Who gives Life - lets the gods of their own followers resurrect their own. [But there is only One Life Giver]

The Lord of Life owes nothing to those who reject Him.

Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. {which is the second death] There was a death that reigned already from Adam to Moses} Rom 5:14

Ecc 9:5 The living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Isa 26:14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

Luk 11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. But for His people} O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves Eze 37:12

Psa 92:7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

The Lord of Life owes nothing to those who refuse His Word. He does not force Himself upon humans as the god of the Koran does.

On Thursday, the government said the main suspect in the killing, Mohammed Bouyeri, 26, was a peripheral figure in an Islamic terrorist network in Amsterdam who merited no close surveillance.

It said it briefly monitored his cell phone conversations until two weeks before Van Gogh's slaying and knew he consorted with Muslim extremists.

"It is a disgrace that we know potential terrorists are running free in this country," said Geert Wilders, a right-wing lawmaker.

He called on the government to arrest the 150 or so Muslim extremists on its watch list.

A harsh critic of Islamic fundamentalism, Wilders has gone into hiding since Van Gogh's murder, except for during the parliamentary debates, when he is escorted by bodyguards. [Islam is not a religion of peace. The tree is know by its fruit]

Also hiding is Somali-born Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a conservative legislator, who collaborated with Van Gogh on "Submission."

Van Gogh's killer left a note impaled on the filmmaker's chest threatening further attacks on Dutch politicians in the name of fundamentalist Islam. [It's a shame that the bloodshed has to rise to the doors of the leaders - in order to get them to wake up. They are the leaders. They have a voice. United they stand - divided they fall - and the nations they rule go with them]

2Cr 9:6 He which soweth [Peace] sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. [The same goes for nations]

Psa 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

If a nations feeds it children the teachings of the Koran - this is what it will reap:

002.216 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing [war] which is good for you, and that ye love a thing [peace] which is bad for you?

Mat 12:33 The tree is known by his fruit.

Before the debate, Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner announced new steps to make it easier to infiltrate terrorist networks.

He said Van Gogh's murder and the arrests this week of 13 terrorist suspects "clearly showed more powers are needed to combat terrorism."

Under Donner's new draft law, investigators will not have to prove they have a "reasonable" suspicion of terrorist activities in order to conduct searches and detain people ? "indications" will suffice. [A move that certain groups are fighting. The ACLU for one]

Donner also proposed making it easier to access bank accounts of suspects and for police to make preventive searches of vehicles near popular sites.

The murder of Van Gogh, a distant relative of Dutch impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh, has triggered at least 17 attacks against Muslim schools and mosques and Christian churches. A public elementary school and a church were targeted by arsonists Wednesday, while an elementary school classroom was seriously damaged in Eindhoven, the site of a bombing of a Muslim school earlier this week.

The Command is:

Mar 12:31 Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [the second greatest Command]

1Th 5:15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Jam 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture - Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself - ye do well.

1Jo 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

The Command is:
