If this was reported as "Big black man kills Asian girl" would you find that acceptable?
His claimed faith (which he betrayed by becoming a murderer) is simply one fact about him, as is his race, his family background, his liking of guns, of rock music, or whatever else...
Why should religion be the single fact about him that defines him?
The fact that defines him from my perspective is that I already mentioned, that he is a disgusting murderer.
