Mohammed Bouyeri, a baby-faced 27-year-old with dual Dutch-Moroccan nationality, broke his vow not to co-operate with the Amsterdam court by admitting shooting and stabbing his victim last November.
"I take complete responsibility for my actions. I acted purely in the name of my religion," he told its three-strong panel of judges.
"I can assure you that one day, should I be set free, I would do the same, exactly the same." Earlier, Bouyeri had insisted that he did not recognise the authority of any non-Islamic court and forbade his lawyer to mount a defence."

I hate when this gets turned into a secular lets hate all faiths for the views of one particular faith so they can avoid the label of bigotry etc. Ignorance! Deny it!
Should we think that the prisoners of Gitmo share the feeling.

Questiong for clarification:
Marid, you say:
"I think this is one of the more honest looks into the radical Muslim mindset"
What do you mean by this? Radical violent actions taken without remorse? Killing with a religious fervor? And we're not allowed to compare it to the Crusades or Inquisition? Why not? It is the same mindset. Why is it 'bunk' to compare the two? Just because they happened a long time ago, doesn't mean any comparison is nonsense.
Should we think that the prisoners of Gitmo share the feeling.
And XphilesPhan, I'm sorry but I have no idea where you're coming from. I don't know how you got that from Marid's post.
It just brings to mind one of the major ideas of the American Judicial system - it's better that 100 guilty men go free than 1 innocent one is deprived of his liberty.
i couldn't care less that theo van gogh was killed, he was a waste of space.
