From Times Wire Reports
A Muslim extremist on trial in the slaying of filmmaker Theo van Gogh confessed, saying he was driven by religious conviction. “I don’t feel your pain,” he told the victim’s mother.
Mohammed Bouyeri also said that if given the chance, “I would do exactly the same thing.”
Bouyeri, 27, faces life imprisonment. The crime is believed to have been retribution for Van Gogh’s film “Submission,” which criticized the treatment of women under Islam.
