Yeah, like PrimeNumbers, I'm baffled as to how she can believe that being religious makes him morally admirable: he'd just come from the mosque, and his religion didn't stop him attacking his victim in the first place! What good is it?
Furthermore, what's with the tacit implication that any religion is better than none? This guy's a muslim, she's a catholic: yet she's giving him credit for believing, without evidence, things that flatly contradict the things that she believes, without evidence. "I believe jesus was god and died for our sins. Because you strongly don't believe that, I'm going to let you off." WTF?
