Friends of van Gogh write open Letter to Murderer

Friends of the brutally murdered Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh have written an open letter (in Dutch) to his Muslim assassin. I translate it here in full:

Dear Mohammed and friends,

What a drag things had to go like this.
We had no idea it was all so sensitive.
We sure learned our lesson.
Is the leg alright? [The murderer was shot in the leg by police during arrest - Ed]
Let's try to keep things together.
Out of respect to each other this should work, otherwise things will get so messy again.
Could you give us some firm guidelines as to what we can and cannot say?
That this should happen during Ramadan, darnit.
We will do our utmost to become more involved in your beliefs in order to prevent any further misunderstandings.
We are all very embarassed, Mohammed.
For putting you in this predicament, we can surely be blamed.
We have really crossed the line this time.
We hold ourselves responsible.
For Gods sake, try not to loose your sense of humour,
'cause you're going to need it in the coming time.
We hope this open letter does not contain anything that would hurt you or your co-religionists.
If so, please forgive us, we too are a bit confused.
Well guy, keep your head up!
Try to get away from it a bit, there's always tomorrow.
And remember, whatever happens, keep smiling.
Good luck and write soon

The friends of Theo Van Gogh.

No one appreciates sarcasm more than I do. And I'm well aware that van Gogh himself might have appreciated this 'open letter' as well.
I just think that the time is still too early, and more fit for anger, even rage maybe. Sarcasm is for when this Muslim scum, and everyone like him, rots behind bars or is dead.
