Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

I hope people don't decide that this is part of the Bush Mandate:

A Taylor police dispatcher took the call at precisely 12:44 p.m. on Oct. 18.



A 49-year-old man said he'd just blasted a man with a revolver and a shotgun because the man said he didn't believe in God.



The dispatcher said the alleged shooter told him he'd just shot "the devil himself" and was still armed and standing over the body of the 62-year-old victim "in case he moved."



"I want to make sure he's gone," the alleged shooter told the dispatcher.



The dispatcher asked the suspect how many times he shot the victim.



"Hopefully enough," was the suspect's chilling reply, according to the dispatcher.

Now someone please tell me how that differs from this:

Van Gogh, 47, a great grandnephew of the painter Vincent van Gogh, had received death threats after his recent film sharply criticized how women are treated under Islam. He was repeatedly shot and stabbed. "Don't do it. Don't do it. Have mercy. Have mercy!" the Algemeen Dagblad newspaper quoted Van Gogh as begging his killer.



Another Dutch newspaper, De Telegraaf, said the killer shot Van Gogh eight or nine times, then calmly slipped the weapon into the pocket of his beige raincoat before bending over Van Gogh and slitting his throat.



Piet Hein Donner, the Dutch justice minister, said the suspect "acted out of radical Islamic fundamentalist convictions" and said that he had contacts with a group that was under surveillance by the Dutch secret service.

And don't tell me that killing for Jesus is somehow more moral than killing for Allah.
