Terrorist kills 3 Muslims in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Chapel Hill Police have released the names of three people who were shot and killed on Tuesday evening in the Finley Forest Condominium on Summerwalk Circle, near the Friday Center off Highway 54. Police also said the shooter was in custody.
Those victims were identified as Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, of Chapel Hill, Yusor Mohammad, 21, of Chapel Hill, and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, of Raleigh.
Police said Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, of Chapel Hill has been charged with three counts of first degree murder. He's being held in the Durham County Jail.
Barakat was responsible for Syrian Dental Relief program for Syrian refugee students in Turkey and had raised over $20,000 towards the program.
In January, he wrote on his Twitter account: "It's so freaking sad to hear people saying we should 'kill Jews' or 'kill Palestinians'. As if that's going to solve anything."

3. So much hate and bigotry towards Muslims

63. Many here are as blind to their bigotry as Freepers are to their racism.
And arguing with them about it is going to be about as useful as arguing with a Freeper. Seriously, there are people in this thread saying that there's nothing wrong with claiming that the vast majority of recent terrorism comes from Muslims. Freepers say similar garbage about how there's nothing wrong with claiming that the majority of recent crime has been committed by minorities. "I'm just reporting the facts" is the common defense of the bigot; never mind that the facts are often twisted and skewed to fit their distorted world view.
We have posters here creating topic after topic about scary Muslim criminals in Europe (complete with scary pictures of the individuals involved), and again, that kind of garbage gets defended as "just reporting the facts." Hey, the Willie Horton ad was just reporting the facts, so it wasn't racist, right?
Hell, we've even seen the right-wing trope that liberals are too PC to condemn the inherent violence in group thrown around here when it comes to Muslims.

Family stated one of the victims had problems in the past with the shooter.

That puts all the "terrorist" talk out the window. Have you got a link to an unbiased source? The OP link has an obvious bias

In Hicks’ Facebook, he refers to himself as a ‘militant atheist’ and posts related to atheism are the majority on his Facebook. His avatar is “Atheists for Equalityâ€, and he has several posts dedicated to gay rights. He was recently married to his wife, but only a couple of posts are related to that. He liked “Forward Progressives’ as well as an anti-‘Teabaggers’ group. He was a fan of Richard Dawkins and Neil De Grasse Tyson.

Why go after 3 people of what is obviously a minority religion in the area, with so many targets of opportunity that are Christian all over the place?
Something here doesn't fit...there is more to this that simple explanation!

Hey yeah.... goota be a false flag attack!
Also muslim backlash.

14. hate and bigotry feeding upon itself
not just voluminous amounts of it spontaneously from individuals, but days of self-congratulating trollery with bigots and haters egging one another on. Now this has hit so close to home for me that the results of such hatred will never again seem like a hypothetical future consequence of the "open season on Muslims" attitude we've seen. It's real and present and dangerous
I guess they are refering to all the posts that came out afterthe Jordanian pilot was murdered... or after the American Leftist woman was murdered by ISIS.

Douglas Carpenter (19,477 posts)
43. you know very well that for at least a few weeks the General Forum was flooded with anti-Muslim posts and threads - you do know that. If that was not an avalanche of hate and bigotry - then hate and bigotry do not exist
there were a bunch that were anti-terrorist after Paris and the Jordanian pilot murder.
Douglas Carpenter (19,477 posts)
55. I think you're being intentionally obtuse - but just go back a review post from January 7 to 14
and you will find plenty - but you already know that. There certainly wasn't anybody who missed it

60. Uh - no
Just went through that ENTIRE thread and comments and didn't see what you claim is FLOODING this site. There was anti-jihadist and holy shit, who isn't anti isis?) but not one post that laid isis at the feet of all Muslims (which was your original claim). So you can call me disengaged, obtuse or whatever other thing but you still have not proved your point. At all.

12. Lemme bust out my jump to conclusions mat.
Ya'll gonna need it.
So far it's been reported that he was an atheist with prior dealings with at least one of the victims.
Terrorism? Well, we can't just throw that word around because it breeds Islamaphobia and hate.
God rest the victims. So ****ed up.
Remember those Posters with Barry is SA uniform with the words saying "It isn't Fascism if we do it!". I think we need one which says "It's not terrorism when we do it!".

40. yeah, if it had been the other way around - I can't imagine anyone here jumping to conclusions
um... do you mean if the killer had alot of pro-christian posts on his FB and was a memeber of the local TEA party... OR... that the killer was muslim and all the victems were Jews? (like in Paris)
Pooka Fey (2,672 posts)
46. Why do we never refer to people wearing headscarves as "Americans" or International Students even though they reside in Chapel Hill and Raleigh? Because we only care about what religion they belong to? Are we to blindly follow Fox News on framing this point? Do we identify everyone in America by their religion? Am I to assume every person wearing a headscarf is a foreigner when I know this is false?
If they are American, why are they identified as Muslims as if this is more important than their rightful inclusion in American society as American students? If they are International students, why is their nationality irrelevant? I read two articles and nowhere does anyone identify these young people by their nationality, but only by their religion.
In the Charlie Hebdo stories, the victims were identified as French first, and then afterwards by their religious denomination - Jewish or Muslim or Atheist or Christian. Can we too stop making religion the most important thing about an American citizen shot in the USA, a supposed secular society?
This might be a hate crime, or it might be another multiple victim shooting incident such as happens daily in the USA. Apparently the victims knew their assailant.
says the people who hyphonate everything. African Americans, Muslin-African-Americans, Gay-Hispanic-Athiest-Americans... etc etc etc.

53. Wonder how FOXNews will play this. It's the lead story at ABC and second at CNN websites.
Don't have cable so I don't know how it is playing on TV at the moment. FOX will have to do some verbal gymnastics if they cover this at all.
Uh... Militant Athiest Kills 3 Muslims?

Here is an inconvenient truth for the left.
Leftist SPLC fan and supporter of Ground Zero Mosque murders Muslims over parking dispute, Hamas-linked CAIR brands it a hate crime
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/02/leftist-splc-fan-and-supporter-of-ground-zero-mosque-murders-muslims-hamas-linked-cair-brands-it-a-hate-crime
Did Craig Hicks murder three Muslims in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, because they were Muslim? Certainly that is what the Hamas-linked terror organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), would have us believe. The problem with Hamas-linked CAIR’s narrative, however, is that from the looks of his Facebook page, Hicks is hardly the right-wing anti-Muslim Islamophobic redneck of their hysterical fantasies; instead, he is a hardcore Leftist and fan of Hamas-linked CAIR’s allies, the Huffington Post and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
On his Facebook page, Craig Hicks had a huge and revealing list of “Likes†that shows him much more preoccupied with Christianity than with Islam. He does post a chart likening “Radical Christians†to “Radical Muslims,†but that is about the extent of his mentioning of Islam at all. He likes the atheists Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Bill Maher, all of whom have criticized Islam, but his page includes none of their statements about Islam. He likes many anti-Christian groups but no groups that are critical of Islam, and he even likes a group praising Obama for supporting the Ground Zero Mosque.
A sampling of Hicks’ “Likes†from his Facebook page: The Huffington Post; The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science (Official); Bill Nye The Science Guy; Sarah Silverman; Penn & Teller: Bullshit!; Militant Atheism for the Soul; The Anti-Theist; Stop the World, the Teabaggers Want Off; Atheist Uprising; Stop FB’s Unfair Treatment of Atheist Pages, Content and Profiles; Science: The Magic of Reality; LGBT / Atheist Alliance; Militant Atheism; Scary Bible Quote of the Day; The Extreme Atheist; Science or STFU; Abrahamic Insanity; Neil deGrasse Tyson; Sam Harris; Iranian atheist/agnostic movement; Confronting Ignorance In Religion; World Atheists: Lets Kick Islam and Christianity out of Africa; Religion Must End; Merry christmyth; Pass The 28th Amendment – Complete Removal Of The Church From The State; Hammer the Gods; The LGBT Pink Panthers Movement; The Rachel Maddow Fan Page; Pissing Off The Religious Right; Keep your Bible out of our Vaginas; Mitt Romney Sucks; Separation of Church and State; Southern Poverty Law Center; LGBT Equality World Wide; Anti-Theists, Activist Atheists Fighting Religion; Still here?
