Several terrorist acts, including that school seizure and a train hijacking, were perpetrated in this European country in the late 1970s (15[3])by supporters of a proposed state called “RMS.” The “Bersiap” period drove immigration (15[2])to this (-5[1])country, where the term (*) “pillarization” (10[1])was (-5[1])coined (10[5]-5[1])to describe (10[1]-5[1])institutionalized social cleavages. The anti-immigrant “Fortuynist” (for-TINE-ist) (-5[1])ideology arose in this (10[2])country. Right-wing (10[1]-5[1])politicians in this (10[1])country capitalized on the actions of Muhammad Bouyeri, who (-5[1])murdered the director of Submission. For 10 (10[1])points, descendants of many Indonesian immigrants live in (10[1])what European (10[1])country, (10[1])where Theo van Gogh was (10[1])killed? (10[5])■END■
