TAMPA — A man accused of shooting his roommates in a New Tampa apartment told police he shared neo-Nazi beliefs with the two men until he converted to Islam then killed them because they disrespected his faith.

Devon Arthurs told investigators he shot Jeremy Himmelman, 22, and Andrew Oneschuk, 18, because he had become angry about the world's anti-Muslim sentiment and "wanted to bring attention to his cause," according to a Tampa Police Department report obtained Monday by the Tampa Bay Times.

The report provides chilling new details about the shooting in the Hamptons at Tampa Palms complex and the hostage situation that unfolded afterward at the nearby Green Planet Smoke Shop.

Room Mates? Well then, this is not radical Islam. This is domestic violence and another reason to outlaw guns. /s

Let’s not generalize from a few hundred thousand isolate incidents.

Real Nazis are fans of Islam. Himmler certainly was.

I think Devon Arthurs was spiritually ‘gone’ even before he converted to Islam. His desire to destroy people was already there. Radical Islam simply provides a philosophic vehicle that incorporates and justifies the random destruction of others.

Hmm...well, that’s a real head-scratcher. I wonder what it was that could attract a scowling, murderous, violent, hate-filled Nazi to Islam? Must be something...but what...

Were this murderer's statements written by George Soros?

This whole thing smells very 'false flagish'.

He looks like there may be a burned cat or two in his past. Good thing to get him off the streets before he starts eating hookers and homeless people.

This is the former Nazi who converted to Islam. I guess he just hasn’t found himself yet.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I beg to differ. They are just 2 sides of the same coin.

Last year while I was in Miami a couple of Orthodox Jews were assaulted by liberal nazi’s. That story was buried quite deep within the bowels of the herald.

After the Pulse nite club shooting quite a few LGBTers “united in solidarity “ with their moslem brethren. Many feminists gravitate towards the concept of sharia. Now we see neo nazis have an attraction to this cult. Whooda though Islam has such a diverse following? :/
