Creationist convicted in stabbing death

Stabbing people to death for having a differing opinion is the rightists' idea of a faith-based initiative.

Over in Australia, a 33-year-old Englishman has been sentenced to up to 5 years in jail for manslaughter after he stabbed a Scottish tourist in an altercation over creationism versus evolution. The victim and his girlfriend were supporting evolution, while the assailant was advancing creationism. The incident escalated throughout the evening into a shouting match at a pub. Later the incident subsided, but the perpetrator wouldn't let it go, and he attacked the victim with a knife.

Although the sentence has a maximum of 5 years, the religious militant will be eligible for release in just a bit more than a year. Then - if a Republican gets "elected" again - the United States will give him the red carpet treatment, just like the Republicans do for other terrorists (like the guy who blew up that Cuban airliner).
