Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh was apparently killed because he made a film ("Submission." an 11-minute English-language short) criticizing Islamic culture, specifically the mistreatment of women.
(It's fairly safe to say that this was the reason van Gogh was murdered, because his killer, a 26 year-old fanatic of Moroccan descent, pinned a multipage typed rant to this effect to van Gogh's chest with a knife, after shooting him first, of course.)
Ifilm, bless them, has made "Submission" available for viewing over the Web.
