How did one of the most liberal societies become wildly crazy for a right wing politician? By the way neither Pim nor Van Gogh reaped whirlwinds.

Van der Graaf said he murdered Fortuyn to defend Dutch Muslims from persecution. He wanted to stop Fortuyn from targeting "the weak parts of society to score points" and exploiting Muslims as "scapegoats" in an attempt to seek political power. -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkert_van_der_Graaf
