Muslim confesses to van Gogh murder: "I did what I did purely out my beliefs"

In other words, he acted as a Muslim, not because of poverty or discrimination or any other fashionable cause. He acted in accordance with the death penalty for blasphemy according to Islamic law. "Van Gogh murder suspect confesses to killing," from MSNBC, with thanks to Andrew Bostom:

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - A Dutch-Moroccan man confessed in court on Tuesday to murdering a filmmaker critical of Islam last year, breaking his silence over a killing that fanned religious and racial tension in the Netherlands.

Mohammed Bouyeri was accused of killing Theo van Gogh as he cycled to work in Amsterdam on Nov. 2, 2004. He was charged with shooting and stabbing Van Gogh before slashing his throat and pinning a note to his body with a knife in broad daylight.

Van Gogh, a descendent of the brother of the 19th century Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, was known for his outspoken criticism of Islam and angered many Muslims by making a film which accused Islam of condoning violence against women.

“I did what I did purely out my beliefs,” the 27-year-old Muslim told judges after entering court clutching a Quran. “I want you to know that I acted out of conviction and not that I took his life because he was Dutch or because I was Moroccan and felt insulted.”

The bearded suspect, dressed in a black robe and black and white headscarf, praised Allah and the Prophet Mohammed before admitting to the killing on the second day of his trial in Amsterdam’s high-security court.

“I take full responsibility upon myself,” Bouyeri told the court. “It would be cowardly if I hid here behind the rules of the game by saying nothing and to avoid the chance of receiving the maximum sentence.”

The damn world is upside down if attacking an unarmed fat man on a bicycle with a gun and a knife isn't a cowardly act. The only reason Bouyeri gets to show how "brave" he is in court is because he was unable to get police to kill him so he could become another false martyr.

It is well known that people who "commit suicide by police" do that because they don't have the guts to pull the trigger themselves. So this jerks cowardeous should never be in question.

If this doesn't scare the living be-jesus out of you, you're asleep. Here is a prime example of Islamic brainwashing and what we have to look forward to if we don't find a way to effectively cope with Islam ASAP.

>>>>>He said it out loud. Now will the dhimmis believe him?

No, because every single case is an exception to the rule. The taste of anti-west, anti-judaeo/christian is too delicious to the left.

WHAT DID THE STORY SAY ABOUT PLENTY??

Van Gogh’s murder sparked a wave of attacks on mosques, religious schools and churches in a country once renowned for its tolerance, and raised questions about the integration of the almost 1 million Muslims living in the Netherlands.
Memories of Pim Fotuyn
Van Gogh’s slaying prompted memories of the murder of anti-immigration politician Pim Fortuyn by an animal rights activist in 2002 in a country grappling with fears of terrorist attacks after its support for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.


NOW HERE IS A REWRITE OF HISTORY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GO INTO IRAQ UNTILL 2003??

Bouyeri told judges he had acted according to his convictions. Unrepentant, he told the victim’s mother — who was in court — that he did not sympathize with her loss and would be prepared to do the same again.
“If I ever get free, I would do it again," he said.
Bouyeri could face up to life in prison if found guilty of the murder. He faces other charges including the attempted murder of police officers and illegal possession of weapons. A verdict is due in two weeks


LIKE HOW THEY SAY IF OUND GULITY?? COULD--- GET??

GUESS THE EUROPEANS NEED TO GET UN PC REAL FAST IF THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE ALL THEIR WOMEN WEARING SPOOK SUITS??

CAUSE AS MUCH AS THE EUROPEANS HAVE BEEN KICKING THIS OLD DOG DON'T THINK WE WILL COME AND SAVE THEM THIS TIME??

KIND OF LIKE WHEN THE STORM WENT THROUGH FLA THE PEOPLE WERE TOLD NOT WORTH THE RISK TO COME AND SAVE YOUR ASSES!!!SORRY!!!

ALTHOUGH THE DUCTH HAVE BEEN WITH THE USA ON THIS TERROR THING BUT THEY HAVE TO GROW SOME BALLS REAL FAST AND GET RID OF THIS PC FRENCH CRAPE OR THEY WILL BE LOST!!!

kevin:

In a word, "no". The usual suspects will go on and on to the effect that bouyeri is a "misunderstander" of the true Islam.

I am afraid that, given the Dutch penal system, "Mo"hammad Bouyeri will be a prison-imam by 2007...if not on the Dutch tax-payers expence, most certainly by some rich Saudi or Kuwaiti-benefactor. It makes one sick to the stomach. "Mo" has allready tried to gain Jihad-converts/conscripts during his "psychiatric evaluation" at the Pieter Baan Centrum, the main Dutch facility for law-offenders whose deeds defy the laws of sanity. To make things worse, a great number of the Dutch prison population make willing recruits/apt pupils. At a conservative estimate, about 30% of Dutch "juvenile offenders" are young Maroccan "chebs" who see no crime in violent street-muggings of us "kafirs'.
They consider themselves at war with "kaaskoppen" or "cheese-heads", as we Dutchies are known.
;-(
It = a horrible moral dilemma. I have allways vehemently opposed the so-called "death penalty".
Imho the 2 words death and "penaly" don't match.
They form a contradiction in terms, because "penalty" implies a way for Redemption.
Yet the brutal fact that this animal Bouyeri is going to cost the Dutch state about 50.000 Euro's per annum sends shivers down my spine.
Many Dutch pensioners live in dire circumstances, mentally-challenged people can not get the healthcare they deserve. And the Dutch taxpayer must house and feed this religious zelot/fascist??? Shocking, positively shocking!

The prosecution asked today for a lifesentence. Life is life in The Netherlands, and I think he is going to get that.
And helas, just the people get it not our politicians, the danger of Islam, althougth we are trying to make them see (and vote them out of office otherwise).

Iraqi PM says handover near in some cities
'First step' would be to move foreign troops out of quietest cities, he says


Updated: 12:31 p.m. ET July 12, 2005
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq’s prime minister said Tuesday that U.S. and other foreign troops could begin handing over security to Iraqis in selected cities, although he opposes setting a timetable for the complete withdrawal of multinational forces.

BETTER READ THE WHOLE THING!!

Al-Jaafari said he opposed such a timetable “when we are not ready” to assume responsibility for defending the country against the insurgents. However, al-Jaafari added that security in many of Iraq’s 18 provinces has improved so that Iraqi forces could assume the burden of maintaining order in cities there.
“We can begin with the process of withdrawing multinational forces from these cities to outside the city as a first step that encourages setting a timetable for the withdrawal process,” al-Jaafari said. “We don’t want to be surprised by a decision to withdraw at a time when we are not ready.”

OH MY THEY ARE ASKING US TO STAY??
SHOULD WE STAY OR SHOULD WE GO??

NOW ON TO THE ISLAMIC TERRORIST IN THIS COUNTRY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT BRITISH!!!

WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT FROM MUSLIMS
National Post, July 12, 2005.
Western Muslims feel badly misunderstood. The vast majority of them utterly abhor terrorism against the countries in which they live. And yet they sense suspicion from their fellow citizens.
Meanwhile, those fellow citizens are feeling increasing frustration with their Muslim neighbours. Since 9/11, security forces have foiled some 40 major plots against Western nations. Many if not most of those plots have been the work of local Muslims. Hundreds of European Muslims have journeyed to join the insurgents in Iraq. Extremist preachers exploit the freedom of Western societies to incite terrorism against them.
Moderate Western Muslims -- and careful politicians -- prefer not to acknowledge this reality. But euphemism is breeding resentment on all sides. We'd all benefit from speaking clearly. Let us be explicit about what we expect from Muslim communities:
- Acknowledge Reality; accept Responsibility. Obviously it would be unjust to blame the religion of Islam for terrorism. But equally obviously, terrorism is a problem within Islam, and Islamic communities bear a special obligation to uproot it.
Yet how many times have you heard an Islamic leader in a Western country urge Muslims to take action against the extremists in their midst? Or unequivocally repudiate violent jihad? Or condemn by name those who lead young Western Muslims astray?
- Isolate and Exclude Extremists. Too often, even the most moderate Western imams excuse and condone extremism.

GOOD READ!!!

- Co-operate actively with police and security services. After the 9/11 attacks, one U.S. Islamic organization distributed a pamphlet called Know Your Rights, explaining to American Muslims that they had no obligation to answer questions from the police. From a legal point of view, that is of course correct. But one would have imagined that patriotic Muslims would want to tell the police anything that might help protect the country against future attack and bring the guilty to justice.

READ THE WHOLE THING LOOKS LIKE HE HAS BEEN PAYING ATT.??


MEAN WHILE READ WHAT THE BRITISH HAVE DONE??

“I did what I did purely out my beliefs,”

That might be the first time in his life he told the truth...it also shows the common psychotic glue that holds Islam together. The "willingness to act", on those beliefs. There are lots of people who would love to see someone dead, but they dont murder them...there is restraint...this restraint is a barrier between
rationality and chaos (mayhem)...All killers/murderers/terrorist ect, cannot be in their right mind...a right mind has restraint.
It matters little how it got there, religion, ethics, respect of law, just not murderous, as long as it's there...Islam has no such restraints...This loonartic admits he "acted" on his "beliefs"...The "willingness to act", that is kill peole or hurt them, based on a "belief", is what I mean by psychotic.
Believe anything you want, just dont kill anyone and leave the rest of us alone...Unfortunatly that is not in the Islamic psychotic equasion...
That requires the "golden Rule", and love your neighbor stuff...thats out of the question for Islam...so the psychosis will continue...

One other thing, why is this murderering terrorist showing up to court, in his mosque meeting finest duds...? Where's the handcuffs and orange jump suit???

This scumbag told Van Gogh's mother that he felt no sympathy for her because she is an unbeliever. These people are hard-hearted monsters.

In sympathy with Mr. B's deeply-held beliefs, I think the Dutch should make an exception to their famously tolerant judicial strictures, in this one instance, follow Sharia Law, and behead him.

I'm sure it's something he would understand.

(They could make this precedent a rule for any further exceptional Muslims.)

Posted by: BigSleep [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 14, 2005 12:03 AM

Hi,

Not condoning what the crazy religious fundamentalist fruitcake did but I just have to ask...

While the article says "making a film which accused Islam of condoning violence against women." why on earth did Gogh have to write verses of the Koran over the bare breasts of women in the film to make his point?

Don't think I will ever really understand art.
