A man arrested as the prime suspect in the serial killing of four Muslim men in Albuquerque is believed to be a Sunni Muslim himself, it has been reported.

Police named the man as 51-year-old Muhammad Syed, who lived in southeast Albuquerque.

He emigrated from Afghanistan 'in the last few years', police said on Tuesday, and was twice charged with domestic violence - but charges were dropped.

Court records obtained by DailyMail.com show Syed was arrested in May 2018 and charged with 'battery (household member)'. He pleaded not guilty, and prosecutors dropped the charges in August of that year.

Four months later, on December 23, 2018, Syed was charged with aggravated battery. The case was dismissed in April 2019.

It is believed that the suspected killer himself was a Sunni Muslim - and may have targeted his victims because he was angry over his daughter marrying a Shiite Muslim, according to the New York Times.

But the brother of one of the victims told DailyMail.com their family was Sunni, not Shiite, and he did not believe the hypothesis.

Albuquerque police on Tuesday said Syed was identified through his car, thanks to tip offs from the community.

'As detectives prepared to search Syed's home on Monday, Syed drove from the residence in the Volkswagen Jetta that detectives believe was used in at least one of the murders,' they said in a statement.

As expected by a number of posters on the thread on this previously.

Kudos to the perspicacity of the many Freepers who were able to discern the Muslim angle, even when the White House and
the MSM fervently hoped that some 'white supremacist' was behind the murders.

The media are so disappointed he’s not a white Christian.

Biden stands with Muslims after 'horrific killings' in New Mexico

They all look alike to him.

Before that happens we can say this little gem I recall is most appropriate...

Sunni or later Shiite’s gonna happen

[TangoLimaSierra]

When they first announced his name I knew he’d be a Sunni Muslim. Cheery sounding sect but are a nasty bloodthirsty bunch. Even for muslims.

But I don't understand, why I can no kill them for this terrible indiscretion. What law is this you have in your - errr my new - country?

And the Biden administration was ready to demagogue against white supremacists.

No doubt. This is why the white house felt the need to weigh in with commentary. Since the killer was a fellow jihadi, and not a white guy with a MAGA hat, they will be deeply disappointed and the story will disappear.

What does the daughter look like? That is after all a determining factor in cases such as this!!

[American Infidel]

Despite the killer being a fellow jihadi, the news headlines still highlight the fact that "muslim" men were killed in an effort to suggest that they were killed by a non-muslim and therefore the victims of a "hate crime".

If you read the stories, you will see that they only identify the victims as muslim, but no mention of the fact that the killer was also muslim. The Washington post did not even go into any detail about the motive (shiite vs. sunni) of the killer and only talked about how the "muslim community" felt threatened, etc. Pathetic reporting. At least the UK Daily Mail presents the story in full context.

At this point everyone looks alike to Joe except Jill.
And he’s not always sure who she is.
