The face of the enemy

How can one read this and not get fighting mad?

"AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS -- The Muslim extremist on trial in the slaying of filmmaker Theo van Gogh confessed Tuesday, saying he was driven by religious conviction. "I don't feel your pain," he told the victim's mother.

Mohammed Bouyeri stunned the courtroom when, in the final minutes of his two-day trial, he declared: "If I were released and would have the chance to do it again ... I would do exactly the same thing." Some spectators rose to their feet as he spoke, visibly stunned by his comments.

"What moved me to do what I did was purely my faith. ... I was motivated by the law that commands me to cut off the head of anyone who insults Allah and his prophet," he said."
Can we please start getting serious about these creatures? Real serious?
