Paraphrasing

In a statement, [those who I wish were anonymous instead of a political leader and his wife] were "deeply saddened" by the loss of a man who "cherished faith, family, and".... brutal repression of everyone who didn't think exactly like him on everything, because those people were going to BURN in HELL.

At least he's gone. Unfortunately, he left a lot of other people who claim to be religious and spend all their time hating and trying to hurt others.
