FBI investigating hit-and-run crash that killed Kansas City teen as a potential hate crime

Police have identified the 15-year-old victim as Abdisamad Sheikh-Hussein.

Late Friday morning, the FBI announced it is investigating a hit and run crash that killed a Kansas City teen as a potential hate crime.

Police are saying the driver may have hit the 15-year-old Muslim boy on purpose.

The Muslim community is heartbroken. The Council on American-Islamic Relations says the driver threatened the teen's family and other area Somali Muslims for months, even writing the anti-Islamic message "the Quran is worse than Ebola" on his own Chevrolet SUV.

Zulfiqar Malik of the Heartland Muslim Council says he is shocked and saddened by the crime.

"Most of the Somali community are immigrants,” he said. “They have arrived in Kansas City to escape hatred and now they are here in Kansas City facing hate and that is bad.

"With hate mongering we say usually it's just words and they can't hurt us but sometimes it gets violent. If we cannot love each other we can at least try not to hate each other."

Sgt. Richard Sharp with the Kansas City Police Department said he is going to talk to the prosecutor Friday afternoon and charges could be filed before the end of the day. At that time, the driver's name will be released.

When Moslems crash into crowds of people, killing a couple, the MSM and government agencies rush to say it certainly was not a “hate crime.”

Ever wonder why oboma doesn’t seem to care if Americans are being beheaded? They’re all white infidels.

“His name is Ahmed H. Aden. He’s a black man, probably from the same community.” This story will disappear down the Memory Hole.

Yep.

I will be so relieved when this country is freed from this current administration's racism!!

Not gonna happen. This administration will be followed by a Democrat no better except probably not a moslem. The Republican Party is determined to puut up Romney or Jeb. Neither wants to be President. Both crave the honor of the Nomination. Neither will win against anyone the Democrats put up, even Al Sharpton. Hey, how about Gorbachev? He's not a citizen but that doesn't matter any more. The precedent is in place.

No evidence required as long as the victim is a member of a protected victim class.

There are also other ethnic groups present in Bosnia in smaller numbers, including Jews and Roma (Gypsies).

Apparently there are now about 1,000 Jews in Bosnia. Many of them are of Sephardic origin, descended from the Jews who left Spain. Ivo Andric in his novel Bosnian Chronicle (set in the Napoleonic era) has an interesting depiction of the Sephardic Jews in Travnik. In his more famous novel, The Bridge on the Drina, he depicts an Ashkenazi Jewish woman who settles in Visegrad after the Austro-Hungarian occupation begins--she is one of the major characters in that section of the novel.

During the siege of Sarajevo (1992-1995) the Jews in Sarajevo took advantage of their "neutral" status, not tied to the three major groups, to help people get out of Sarajevo and to get drugs and food to people trapped in Sarajevo.
