Killer of 3 UNC-Chapel Hill Muslim Students Was Hardcore Anti-Religion Atheist Progressive

A horrific act of domestic terror was committed yesterday in Chapel Hill, NC, as three Muslim students were apparently targeted by a deranged anti-religion progressive.

The News & Observer reports:

Police charged a Chapel Hill man Wednesday with first-degree murder in the deaths of three Muslim students in a quiet neighborhood near Meadowmont just south of N.C. 54.Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, is being held in the Durham County Jail on three counts of first-degree murder.

Hicks is accused of shooting his Finley Forest neighbors, Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, and his wife Yusor Abu-Salha, 21, and Abu-Salha’s sister, Razan Abu-Salha, 19, of Raleigh.

Barakat was a doctoral student in UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Dentistry. The sisters were N.C. State University students. Chapel Hill police found all three victims dead at the scene, after responding to a report of gunshots on Summerwalk Circle at 5:11 p.m. Tuesday.

The neighborhood, adjacent to the Friday Center, is mostly rental apartments and modest condominiums. It rarely appears in reports of crime in Chapel Hill. Police worked early into the morning trying to piece together what happened. Police have not offered a motive for the shootings.

[UPDATE: Chapel Hill police are now saying the shooting may be related to a parking dispute. Thanks to tarheelkate in the comments.]

According to other reports, Barakat and Abu-Salha were just married a few weeks ago. She had recently graduated from NC State, and he was a UNC dental student.

A review of the Facebook page of the man charged in these murders, Craig Hicks, shows a consistent theme of anti-religion and progressive causes. Included in his many Facebook “likes” are the Huffington Post, Rachel Maddow, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Freedom from Religion Foundation, Bill Nye “The Science Guy,” Neil deGrasse Tyson....

Dispute over parking according to CNN.

As disgusting as hijabs are — this isn’t about the “religion” of the victims.

I just heard (1 minute ago) on the radio that the shooting was over a parking dispute.

Probably, just a work place incident, eh?

Hardcore Anti-Religion Atheist Progressive

Brian Williams is reporting that he was a Christian Tea Party Conservative who was anti-vaccination and pro-home schooling., just like all the other "real" terrorists.

Flashback

Mohammad Taheri-azar, a 2005 UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, tried to kill multiple people with his SUV in the Pit at UNC and told the courtroom that he was “thankful for the opportunity to spread the will of Allah.”
When asked if he was trying to kill people, he said yes. He acted to “avenge the death of Muslims around the world.”

Obama may have stumbled on to his strategy for beating ISIL:

Secular humanists v. Islamofascists

God haters v. People haters

I think it is hilarious that the guy is a big Maddow fan.

When you answer to no one, and all you got is a few years on this planet, parking matters.

It’s true - this all could have been settled over some beers, some halal lamb, some pork rinds, and a dead anti-abortion activist killed together in a celebration of mutual disdain for humanity.

When will the secular humanists and the islamofascists realize they have so much in common?

One pogrom against the Christians and Jews and it will be an Arcadia of people who don’t give a sh!t and people who live in their own sh!t. When it’s over, the humanists can sell tickets to the Shiite v Sunni final bloodbath to other humanists. They can buy arms for whoever wins and comes after them last.

"...Dispute over parking..."

Pity it wasn't over something important like a cartoon.

Good thing Williams got canned (or same as) or he would be indicating things just like what you said above to blame Tea Partiers.

(I'm bettin' Williams moves on to MSNBC to co-host The Will/Sharp Factor with Rev. Sharpton)

Don't worry, I'm sure the rest of his buddies in the MSM will pick up the slack for him.
