A Dutch artist in Rotterdam painted a mural on a building wall with the inscription "Thou shall not kill," meant as an homage to murdered filmmaker Theo van Gogh. The response of the local paper and city officials was quite troubling:

"In the year 2004, this commandment is considered too sensitive in our multicultural society," wrote the Volkskrant.

Officials ordered the immediate removal of the artwork from the public space, Radio Netherlands reported.

According to the newspaper, when a local television team showed up, the police ordered the crew to stop filming the painting and hand over the film. A reporter who tried to stop the destruction of the painting was jailed for three hours.

No they are obviously afraid of some escalation [tit for tat response]. DO they normally have racial/religious tension in Netherlands?
