In his own words, the murderer of Theo Van Gogh explains why he hates us:
“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.
Spectators in the maximum security courthouse in western Amsterdam gasped as Bouyeri then turned to the victim’s mother, Anneke, in the public gallery, and told her he felt nothing for her. Mrs van Gogh watched as he read out from what appeared to be a statement: “I don’t feel your pain. I have to admit that I don’t have any sympathy for you. I can’t feel for you because you’re a non-believer.”
He added: “Maybe you could find some consolation if the maximum sentence is given.”
I should think that would clear up the confusion about the terrorists and what we might do to appease them. How many are willing to convert to Islam? Those who criticize the war but aren’t willing to convert are terrorchickens, of course.

That has nothing to do with Iraq, or weapons of mass destruction, or Karl Rove.
Why haven’t you converted, John, are you a chicken-Buddhist?
Terrorchickens! Effing brilliant…
Wow, it must really sting you to not be able to get your kids to join the Army.
I mean, if you’re so unwilling to convert to Islam why aren’t you over there?
Are you raising your kid to be a Muslim, or is his religious education limited to Hollywood Buddhism?
If there is any greater condemnation of Islam I can’t think of it. Until Muslims and in particular the religious leaders thoroughly repudiate these monsters Islam is wholly to blame.
A good start would be some form of excommunication of all (former) suicide bombers and other murderous terrorists. If the respected Muslim leaders decree that these people will not be going to heaven but suffering the fate of the ‘unbeliever’ the most significant motivator will evaporate.
