Contempt and defiance from Muslim

Telegraph reported The gulf between the West and radical Islam was on painful display yesterday when a young Muslim went on trial for the murder of the Dutch film-maker Theo van Gogh but refused to recognise the court's authority. Mohammed Bouyeri, a baby-faced 27-year-old with joint Moroccan and Dutch nationality, limped into court with what appeared to be a large Koran under one arm. Wearing a black, collarless gown and a black and white Palestinian-style headscarf, he smirked at the panel of three black-robed judges. He offered no defence, instructing his lawyer to tell the court that he acknowledged only Islamic law.

If he wants to live under Islamic Law, he should move to an Islamic State. However I believe he will find that Dutch law is much more lenient than Islamic Law is
