Question

This country’s government forced a terrorist nicknamed “Little Thumb” to release 100 captive schoolchildren by sending them food laced with laxatives. Several terrorist acts, including that school seizure and a train hijacking, were perpetrated in this European country in the late 1970s by supporters of a proposed state called “RMS.” The “Bersiap” period drove immigration (15[1])to this country, where the term (*) “pillarization” was coined (-5[1])to describe institutionalized social cleavages. The anti-immigrant “Fortuynist” (for-TINE-ist) ideology arose in this (10[1])country. Right-wing politicians in this (10[1])country capitalized on the actions of Muhammad Bouyeri, who murdered the director of Submission. For 10 points, descendants of many Indonesian immigrants live in what European country, where Theo van Gogh was (10[1])killed? ■END■
