I like this part:
Lawyers for the men say they are religious youths, innocent of wrongdoing.
Now read this:
Two defendants face additional charges related to a clash with police in which one of them threw a hand grenade that injured three officers.
And this:
Prosecutors allege the men attended cult-like meetings at Bouyeri's home under the guidance of a Syrian spiritual leader who fled the country shortly before Van Gogh's murder. Evidence against them includes copies of the letter left on Van Gogh's body, handbooks on ritual Islamic murders, suicide testaments and tapped telephone conversations about slaying non-believers like sacrificial lambs.
Un huh.

UPDATE
More here.
Dressed in a long, rose-colored robe with a black headscarf, Chabi refused to speak in court, but the statement she had given to police earlier was read out by the presiding judge.
"A throat must be cut from the front, but not entirely so there is maximum suffering. Fouad said this while a film was shown on which people were beheaded," her statement said.
"He showed knives and films about slaughtering and showed us how to take a knife out of its scabbard and said he and Bouyeri stole sheep from a farm to practice slaughtering."
The judge said Chabi told police that El Fatmi had said they should drive a car carrying explosives into a shopping center to die as martyrs and then quoted verses from the Koran.
