Three Muslims Killed Execution Style in Chapel Hill

[jsteele]

This is a really tragic story:

"A family of three young Muslims has been shot dead in their home in a quiet neighbourhood of North Carolina in the US.

Police have named the victims as 23-year-old Deah Shaddy Barakat, his wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19."

...

"A 46-year-old man, named by police as Craig Stephen Hicks, has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of first-degree murder.

Hicks described himself as an atheist on Facebook and posted regular images and text condemning all religions. Police said he handed himself in last night."

There is more information about the alleged killer here:

"Hicks described himself as an atheist on Facebook and posted regular images and text condemning all religions."

As an ex-Muslim and atheist, this infuriates the shit out of me. This is absolutely awful and there's no way anyone would half a brain could justify killing or harming these decent people. I hope this trash rots in prison.

I wonder if this relates to the Duke call to prayer issue. They said that they canceled it over threats.

Why in political thread? Sad crime, but crime happens.

I put it in the Political Forum because there are idiots who believe that if a radical anti-religious freak murders three Muslims, it is simply a "sad crime".

To God we belong and to Him we return. This is truly a tragic story. Deah and Yusor were well liked in the community and just got married this past December. So much life taken so soon, so many hopes and dreams aborted. There are crazy lunatics everywhere these days and it is scary. May they rest in eternal peace, be forgiven for their sins and rewarded with the highest jannah!

This is terrible and it is certainly a cowardly act. Violence against peaceful Muslims here is simple blood lust. By all accounts, these young people had no ties to ISIS and were known for their charitable selfless work and kind hearts. What this clown has done is bring the potential for revenge violence to our shores.

I am sure that if this incident had been a Muslim killing three white non-Muslims you would be equally blasé, correct?

If? And yes, I have been. Not about the killings. About some folks' incessant need to politicize every single event as long as it fits their narrative.
