BBC, Lies and "Tolerance"

Another Dutch citizen is killed for asking the wrong questions about the Dutch multicultural experiment. His colleague has been under police protection for months since she renounced Islam.

This portrait of the courageous Ayaan Hirsi Ali, by BBC correspondent Geraldine Coughlan, contains an interesting aside.

"Tolerance was a key issue for the Netherlands in 2002.

The murdered populist politician Pim Fortuyn, who was killed nine days before elections in May, also called Islam a backward religion.

He did not want to tolerate immigrants. His self-confessed assassin, an animal rights activist, could not stand his intolerance. "

I see. The BBC are telling us that
a) Pim Fortuyn could not tolerate immigrants
b) this fact drove the assassin to kill him.

In order to protect tolerance we had to destroy it.

Yet according to BBC News Fortuyn wished to halt immigration, and for those immigrants already in Holland to integrate more closely into Dutch society. This falls far short of 'not tolerating' those immigrants already in Holland. A racist would have preferred them to remain separate and unintegrated.

This last little paragraph starts with a lie, and seems to imply that you can fight intolerance by shooting people, while in no way impairing your own tolerance.

Worrying when in the UK, there are deep differences over this new definition of 'tolerance'. Some Government advisers want BNP voters to be 'duffed up in the streets'. Whereas comedians on the BBC think they should be shot.
