Self-professed ‘anti-theist’ kills three young Muslims in Chapel Hill

[Wilikon]

So it looks like the whole thing was actually a running dispute about parking space. Well his solution does solve his parking problems.

Yep. That would include his parking space too, or lack thereof...

If I were the judge I would have awarded him a visitor parking spot at the prison.  This is one of many reasons no one would ever let me be a judge. 

That's OK. You can be our judge judy here if you want

I guess we should stop looking at the religious beliefs of criminals after every incident.

Palestinian Government Demands Role In Investigation Of The Three Students Shot Over A Parking Place In Chapel Hill


The Palestinian government called the murder of three young Muslims in North Carolina ‘terrorist’ killings and asked to be included in the US investigation in a statement Saturday.

Police charged Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, with shooting Deah Barakat, 23, his wife Yusor Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister Razan Abu-Salha, 19, in Chapel Hill on Tuesday.

Local authorities said they believe the killings followed a dispute over parking at the condominium complex where the four were neighbors, but Justice Department and FBI officials have launched an investigation into whether hate crime charges or other federal violations are warranted.

Calling Hicks ‘an American extremist and hateful racist,’ the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said the shootings were indicative of rising anti-Muslim discrimination in the United States.

‘We consider it a serious indication of the growth of racism and religious extremism which is a direct threat to the lives of hundreds of thousands of American citizens who follow the Islamic faith,’ said the ministry in a statement.

The statement made a request for ‘a serious investigation and the involvement of Palestinian investigators to clarify the circumstances of these assassinations and premeditated murders.’

Sunni Islam’s Top Body Al-Azhar Says Chapel Hill Killings Result Of “Racism And Islamophobia”…



Al-Azhar, the centre of Islamic learning in Egypt, on Thursday condemned the killings of three young Muslims by a gunman in the United States as a “terrorist and racist” act.

A man who had posted anti-religious messages on Facebook and quarrelled with neighbours has been charged with the shootings.

Muslim activists in the United States and around the world have demanded authorities investigate a possible motive of religious hatred. Police said on Wednesday the case involved a dispute over parking and possibly a hate crime.

Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, a full-time paralegal student from Chapel Hill, was charged with first-degree murder in Tuesday’s killings two miles (three km) from the University of North Carolina campus.

However, the day after the attack, the pre-eminent institute of Islamic learning in the Sunni Muslim world, al-Azhar, described the murders as a “cowardly terrorist act.”

[...]
Al-Azhar, which is based in Cairo, said it was deeply concerned that the killings appeared to have been prompted by “racism and Islamophobia.”

Similarly, the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the world’s largest bloc of Muslim countries, said the murders heightened international concerns about “rising anti-Muslim sentiments and Islamophobic acts” in the United States.

Saudi Arabia Calls Chapel Hill Killings A “Terrorist” Attack…


Saudi Arabia on Sunday condemned the killing in North Carolina of three American Muslim college students as a “heinous terrorist” act, and called for an end to incitement against Muslims.

The statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency also condemned as a “terrorist” act the recent attacks that killed two people in Denmark, one at a panel discussion that included an artist who caricatured the Prophet Muhammad and the other outside a synagogue.

In neighboring Qatar, several thousand people held a march Sunday in the capital Doha in solidarity with the families of the North Carolina victims. The marchers appealed for protection against hate crimes for the tens of thousands of young Arabs studying in the United States on scholarships funded by the energy-rich governments of the Gulf.

Deah Barakat, 23; his wife, Yusor Abu-Salha, 21; and her sister, Razan Abu-Salha, 19, were killed on Tuesday by their neighbor Craig Hicks, 46, an avowed atheist who was a vocal critic of all religions. Family members say all three were shot in the head at the newlywed couple’s home, though police aren’t saying exactly how the three victims died.

Saudi Arabia Calls Chapel Hill Killings A “Terrorist” Attack…

Typical ignorance. I do mention how Americans misunderstand the Muslim world a lot. That should not imply that your average villager in the Mid East is much better. There are all manor of conspiracy theories and crackpot ideas on the street. My favorites are about the pope. He is always being placed in Syria, secretly fighting for the Vatican/CIA. The pope? lol

Yep...

All of these tragedies are being used for political gain. Why must we continue to try to link a tragedy to a terrorist organization?

Obama does this and the result is more dead innocent people in foreign countries.

Brothers? You have a lot to learn about the middle east. I spend a lot of time there and DASCH s absolutely hated in the mid-east. Thinking they have much in common with the Jihadists is like saying "Oh, your an American. Then you must be a cowboy!".
