Question

Several terrorist acts, including that school seizure and a train hijacking, were perpetrated in this European country in the late 1970s (15[1])by supporters of a proposed state called “RMS.” The “Bersiap” period drove immigration (15[1])to this country, where the term (*) “pillarization” was coined to describe institutionalized social cleavages. The anti-immigrant “Fortuynist” (for-TINE-ist) (-5[1])ideology arose in this country. Right-wing politicians in this 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 killed? (10[1])■END■
