You seem to think the fact he was a follower of the religion of peace and love should not be mentioned.
You know he was not religiously motivated, how is that? Do you know him personally, are you related?
"Muhammad has never testified or explained why he directed the attacks that terrorized the Washington region, with victims gunned down while doing everyday chores."
You've shared with the forum that you're a sensative, creative kind of guy "making sculptures with found objects", surely your not going to argue that the "art" a man does is without any purpose, meaning and relavence, or are you!
"The jailhouse drawings of the younger sniper, Malvo, tell it all:
- One sketch of Osama bin Laden exalts him as a "Servant of Allah."
- A self-portrait of him and Muhammad is captioned: "We will kill them all. Jihad . . . Allah Akbar!"
- A sketch of the burning Twin Towers has as its caption: "America did this. You were warned."
- A poem scribbled alongside an American flag and star of David drawn in cross hairs reads: "Our minarets are our bayonets, Our mosques are our baracks, Our believers are our soldiers."
- The Quran (Surah 2:190) is quoted as follows: "Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you and slay them wherever ye catch them." Also: "Islam the only true guidance."
- The White House is drawn in cross hairs, surrounded by missiles, with the warning: "Sep. 11 we will ensure will look like a picnic to you," and "you will bleed to death little by little."
- Another warning reads: "Islam. We will Resist. We will conquer. We will win."
Somehow CNN's "special investigations unit" managed to overlook this pile of courtroom evidence. It showed only one drawing - a self portrait of Malvo shedding tears."

Your luck is holding out so far but I don't think that will last for ever:
However, a lawyer for Mohammad's family said Tuesday that "we have a letter" - presumably written by Mohammad - that would be disclosed at a later time.
At a press conference in Richmond, the sniper's family refused to comment but their lawyer Charlene Paterson "expressed remorse" on their behalf and said they were not prepared to disclose the letter.
"Based on the emotional climate, some of the comments I am sure you are all aware of last night, the family is not comfortable disclosing any of the details on that letter at this time," Paterson said.

guess they haven't had a chance to shop it aroud yet! Maybe the Nation of Islam will buy it "to preserve the historical record"?
