Well, you might be interested in this article from the New York Times about the murder of someone who made a film with her.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/02/arts/provocateurs-death-haunts-the-dutch-.html?_r=0

For years, in his writing and television appearances, Mr. van Gogh (a distant relative of the artist) loved to push buttons. He crudely insulted everyone respected in postwar multicultural Dutch society, including Jews and Muslims. But he also helped bring Muslim actors onto Dutch television, as in “Najib and Julia,” a Romeo and Juliet story that was broadcast in 2002.

Two years later, Dutch television broadcast “Submission, Part I,” a short film that Mr. van Gogh had made with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali refugee turned Dutch politician, in which verses of the Quran were written on the bodies of naked women, to protest what they saw as their subservient status in Islam.

After “Submission” ran in prime time in August 2004, Mr. van Gogh refused the police protection that Ms. Hirsi Ali had been given following outcry over the film. “No one kills the village idiot,” he said then. His death, a direct result of the film, opened a tense season in Europe, one that became more fraught in 2005, when riots broke out around the world to protest a Danish newspaper’s publishing satirical cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

In the extremist Muslim world, freedom of speech or behaviour does not exist. Penalty - DEATH.
