First off, police do not believe this was a “hate crime,” but Islamic supremacists never let the facts get in the way of exploiting a bogus narrative. Secondly, the shooter was a person of color. So much for the racism charges. But look at the NY Daily News headline:
“That’s not what America is about,” said local resident Khairul Islam, 33. “We blame Donald Trump for this . . . Trump and his drama has created Islamophobia.” A high-ranking police source said the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force would investigate, but it was “too early to say” what the motive was. How about this? Instead of exploiting the imam’s tragic death, Muslims actually find out who shot him first. Look at the police sketch, the perp could easily be Muslim.
The shooting took place on a very busy street about a block from the al-Furqan Masjid Mosque in the Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens, N.Y.
Witnesses say a male with a medium complexion and polo style shorts and shirt was seen fleeing the scene of the shooting with a gun in hand, according to police. The imam’s daughter, Naima Akonjee, told The AP her father didn’t “have any problems with anyone.”
She said her father and Uddin were close friends who walked together to the mosque from their homes on the same street. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio‘s press secretary said the mayor is “closely monitoring the NYPD investigation of this tragedy.”
“We have a senior liaison with the Muslim community on-site to ensure mosque congregants and the neighborhood receive all the support and information they need during this difficult time. While it is too early to tell what led to these murders, it is certain that the NYPD will stop at nothing to ensure justice is served,” Press Secretary Eric Phillips said.
NYPD Deputy Inspector Henry Sautner the multiple 911 calls came in at about 1:50 p.m. today about two men being shot. “Responding officers from the 106 Precinct arrived at the scene and discovered a 64-year-old male and a 55-year-old male, both with gunshot wounds to the head,” Sautner said. “At this time, our preliminary investigation revealed that the 2 victims were walking northbound on 79 Street and as they were turning onto Liberty Avenue, they were approached from behind by what witnesses and video surveillance shows, a male with medium complexion dressed in a dark polo shirt and shorts,” Sautner added.
“At this time, a motive has not been determined, and we are currently conducting an extensive canvass of the area for video and additional witnesses. There are no arrests at this time and the investigation is ongoing.”
Just look at the Middle East where Iran hangs homosexuals that are Muslims, Honor killings committed by Muslims against Muslims and ISIS kills Muslims.
Look for more exciting times in America if the corrupted Hillary and Bill are elevated once again by American nincompoops into the oval orifice.
Islam is crazy, a cult of death & destruction.
Muslims are the tall grass in which Jihadi Terrorists hide undisturbed.
How would a rag head know what America is about?
As of this morning the local news is reporting that the investigation in looking into tensions between the Muslims and Hispanics in the area.
Imagine, Muslims having problems with their neighbors.
I do believe the libtards monitor FreeRepublic as a barometer and when they saw we we willing and eager to “ go there” with I AM TRUMP and MUSLIMS GO HOME they realized this would blow up in a bad way and realized they needed to get off this quick.
The possibilities run from muslim religious differences to a insane person or to a paid hit...
Donald Trump rhetoric is a possibility, but not very likely...like almost zero...
But it makes good headlines...
Did the 2 men hold hands like they are wont to do?
That's creepy and gross.
That sketch doesn’t look like Trump to me.
I’d guess that the Muslims are now reaping what they sow.
Definitely looks middle eastern. The next CNN theory will be that he’s a Mossad agent.
Hispanic, part of a feud between Muslims and Hispanics.
Blaming Trump for a Hispanic shooting a Muslim is the stretch of the century.
The whole thing has been quite odd, from the beginning. The outraged group that gathered were a.) quick to blame Trump (???) and b.) were holding professionally pre-printed signs.
Astroturf much?
Another imam assassinated in UK this year
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/28/jalal-uddin-main-suspect-has-left-uk
UK Victim has same name as one of the NYC victims - so who was the real NYC target, the imam or his prayer buddy
UK imam was assassinated for either not being sufficiently radical or over “ Syrian based charity” dispute ( is ISIS a charity group - like the IRA used to be?) .... Internecine struggle over how much support certain imams give or don’t give to radicals? Or just someone pissed at the imam for personal reason
If connected the shooter would be middle eastern or perhaps Pakistani - certainly matches the sketch
Muzzards have a pact with the dems. Protect us, and we’ll vote for you, send you money, and lie for you. They really don’t want Trump elected, because he might just stop the flow of muzzards into our once-great country.
I AM TRUMP.....My husband IS TRUMP too.
: )
God Bless America!
The suspect's facial features do not look at all Hispanic to me.
Is the SOP from the de Blasio PC dept that any violent crime suspect who is brown is "Hispanic", any violent crime suspect who is Black is either to be described as a "youth" or his physical characteristics are not to be described in any way, and any violent crime suspect who is white ... wait, there are almost never any violent crime suspects in NYC who are described as white, are there?
Look at Steve Jobs. Adopted. Father was Syrian. (We know he can't be the suspect!)
God Bless you and your husband!
“a medium complexion ???”
That’s like a light skinned negro, i.e. O’dumbass.
“The whole thing has been quite odd, from the beginning. The outraged group that gathered were a.) quick to blame Trump (???) and b.) were holding professionally pre-printed signs.”
Yup, noticed that too.
