A 16-year-old youth currently is being tried for the killing of the Rev. Andrea Santoro, 60, who was shot Feb. 5 while praying in his parish in Trabzon. Witnesses said the youth shouted “Allahu Akbar!” – Arabic for “God is great!” – before firing two bullets into Santoro's back.

They always shout this "Allah Akbar aka God is great" stuff before doing this kind of crap, whether it be this stabbing, or beheadings, or blowing themsleves up or flying planes into buildings. Hey Mohammed, either your being very sarcastic or the only "God" you are calling great has a red tail and two horns.

It is worth noting that all religious hate crime are labeled "mentally ill". It seems that the religious communities of the perpetrators are "shy" to denounce the true nature of their crimes.
