[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]BarenakedIslam has released thousands Barakat's tweets and he was not a good person. His tweets are full of racism, anti-Semitism and pro-jihad. Neither one of these men were good people and I think there was hatred on both sides, one was just a little crazier than the other.[/quote]

I thought it was a parking space dispute? Are you suggesting that Barakat was killed because of his views on politics and religion?

Of course the attacks on the victims were bound to come. Before this is over, the Islamophobes will be claiming that Craig Stephen Hicks was the only thing standing between freedom and the implementation of Sharia in Chapel Hill. A new hero is born.
[/quote]I understand where you're coming from but you couldn't possibly think that the media or investigators would not only investigate everything about Hicks but also Barakat.

When Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and others were killed, the media and investigators went into every orifice looking for dirt.  You can't possibly believe the same wouldn't happen to [u]everyone[/u] involved in the Chapel Hill tragedy whether it's a parking dispute or not.[/quote]

I actually have no problem with anyone investigating Barakat's past. But, unless that past includes provoking parking disputes, I don't think it helps Hicks' case. To the contrary, if it is demonstrated that Barakat frequently conveyed his views about Islam and the Middle East to Hicks, it strengthens the case that Hicks acted due to his hatred of religion.

What I do object to is the character assassination perpetrated by the bigoted Islamophobe site that mischaracterized Barakat's tweets. If someone were relying on Storm Front as evidence against an ethnic or religious minority, wouldn't we all object? I don't see any difference in this instance.
