Everyone in a swing state saw President Bush's "wolves" ad numerous times. The funny thing is the wolves aren't just a threat in Europe, they're already wrecking havoc. This week Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered in Amsterdam because he made a film critical of Muslim's treatment of women.

Van Gogh was shot eight times and had his throat slit. A five page note was pinned to his body by his Islamofascist murderer. As I Please has a piece of the note:

I know for sure that you, Oh America will go under; I know for sure that you, Oh Europe, will go under; I know for sure that you, Oh Holland, will go under; I know for sure that you, Oh Hirsi Ali, will go under; I know for sure that you, Oh unbelieving fundamentalist, will go under.

Brian Murphy, an AP religious writer, wrote an amazing article yesterday. And, I'm not sure I mean amazing in a good way. After referencing the note pinned to van Gogh, Murphy writes:

Other messages — later left at the sidewalk shrine where the 47-year-old filmmaker's throat was slashed — dripped with equal venom against radical Islam. "Enemies live among us," read one missive in a bed of flowers, votive candles and crosses.

Time and time again in this article, Murphy trieds to equate Dutch reaction to the murder to the actions of the Islamofascists. The storyline he's trying to write is one of "two cultures on a collision course". But the story just isn't true. Is writing "enemies live among us" equal to cold blooded murder? Murphy writes that "The filmmaker's fans were as passionate as his detractors." Is he kidding? The filmmakers fans enjoyed his movies, the filmmakers detractors murdered him. Words are not the same as actions. Dutch men and women denouncing radical Islam is not the same as radical Islamofascists murdering men, women and children in New York, in Beslan, in Spain, in Iraq and in The Netherlands. The situation isn't a collision course as much as it is a hit and run.

Europeans are right if they have a "gnawing feeling that militant factions in Islamic immigrant communities are gaining ground and chipping away at values such as free speech and secular politics." And they're right to be afraid. As Yussuf al-Ayyeri, one of Osama bin Laden's closest associates said:

the history of mankind is the story of 'perpetual war between belief and unbelief.' Over the millennia, both have appeared in different guises. As far as belief is concerned, the absolutely final version is represented by Islam, which 'annuls all other religions and creeds.' Thus, Muslims can have only one goal: converting all humanity to Islam and 'effacing the final traces of all other religions, creeds and ideologies.'

Some Europeans still don't get it. Jan Rath, co-director of the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies at the University of Amsterdam, says "My impression is the European voices that say, `Everyone is equal, but we are more equal than Muslims,' are growing."

Rath seems to think that radical Islamofascists are striving for equality. That's clearly not the case. Islamofascists don't want equality with the good people of Europe, they want to convert those people to Islam, and, failing that, eliminate them. For all of their alleged intellectual superiority, Europeans (and even their American liberal counterparts) fail to comprehend the meaning of these words even when it's right in front of their eyes. Their alleged intellectual inferior, President Bush, immediately saw the Islamofascists for who they were:

They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.

As awful as it is, hopefully this latest murder will help wake up Europeans to the wolves in their midst.

The memorials that piled up on the dark brick sidewalk often crossed the line from sympathy to seething recriminations. "This is the true face of Islam," said a handwritten message. A framed poem called "Imam" ends with a stanza: "If you want to improve the world, start with yourself and your faith."

A banner waved from a fence: "Theo rests his case."
