Dutch police erase "inflammatory" mural

I can't quite believe this: a Dutch artist decided to memorialise filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, murdered by an Islamic fundamentalist, with a mural on the wall outside his studio, depicting an angel and the words "Thou shalt not kill". It seems that someone connected with a nearby mosque deemed the work "inflammatory" and called the police.

The police erased the mural!



Words just fail me.
