The movie which appears to have led to Theo Van Gogh's murder is frequently summarised in the various news articles about his murder and subsequent events in the Netherlands. The differences in the summaries are rather interesting. AP describes the film as follows in an article:
Van Gogh, who received death threats for his film, "Submission," that criticized the treatment of women under Islam, was shot and stabbed while bicycling on a busy Amsterdam street.
The BBC on the other hand adds a bit in its description like this (my bolding) :
Van Gogh, murdered in Amsterdam a week ago, had received death threats after the release of his latest film controversially portraying domestic violence in Muslim societies. It showed images of a semi-naked woman with Koranic script daubed on her body.
It is not at all clear to me why the BBC should feel it necessary to add this sentence about the semi-naked woman, which is something that the BBC have used repeatedly in their radio news items as well as on the web
Without a further description of why the semi-naked woman is depicted this statement in inexplicable. It fails to add anything important to the readers knowledge of the content of the film and thus seems to be there purely as an attempt to excuse the murder - after all the Koran is a sacred work and so therefore writing verses on a woman would seem to be somehow basphemous and thus potentially deserving of revenge. If you read a fuller description of the film (such as this one below in the Telegraph) then the reason for the imagery is plain but that fails to come across in the BBC description.
What it does is to denounce the barbaric treatment of women in many Islamic societies, focusing attention on forced marriage and the penalisation of rape victims under the guise of adultery. The imagery is deliberately provocative: verses from the Koran are inscribed on a naked woman, to drive home the message that Muslim women are human, too, beneath the veil.
Of course one would normally assume these little foibles are due shoddy editing except for the fact that the BBC has persistently showed sympathy for Arab murderers such as the almost late terrorist leader Yassir Arafat. There is a classic statement in combat that "Once is happenstance, twice in coincidence but thrice is enemy action". The BBC has consistently showed pro-Arab and pro-Islamist bias, this is just the latest example and indicates that the BBC is indeed in submission to Allah. You can watch Submission yourself here but don't hold your breath expecting the BBC to show it.
