NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — An imam and another man are dead following a double shooting in Queens on Saturday afternoon.
CBS2’s Valerie Castro reported Imam Maulama Akonjee, 55, and a 64-year-old associate from his congregation were each shot in the head while on their way home from a local mosque by a man who came up behind them. The shooting took place near Liberty Avenue and 79th Street in Ozone Park around 2 p.m.
Witnesses said the imam from the Al-Furqan Masjid mosque had just delivered an afternoon service and was walking home with another member of the mosque when both men were gunned down.
The motivation behind the violence is still unclear, but many from the surrounding community who attend the mosque are calling this a hate crime.
“After prayer, he taught us how to live peacefully and how to help each other,” said Nazrul Islam of Ozone Park.
“A family man has been lost and a scholarly imam has been lost and we are devastated and we want … peace,” said Kobir Chowdhury of Ozone Park.
“We feel really insecure and unsafe in a moment like this,” said Millat Uddin of Ozone Park. “It’s really threatening to us, threatening to our future, threatening to our mobility in our neighborhood, and we’re looking for the justice.”

THAT, takes discipline.
The terrorism industry has discipline. And it seems to work for the Clinton /neocon movement.
This case of reverse psychology says a lot.
If he really did, then his killer was probably a radical jihadi who regarded him as an apostate to True Islam.
You are missing the point. Starting with the Sunday tv political news shows and for the next 7 days, all the talk will be about Trump creating this environment hostile to XXXX.
He will be on the defensive for another 2 weeks, without any concrete information

I think you nailed it bob.
it sure stinks.
the shooter is a genuine US Hero.
I hope they were soaked in swine blood
No motive can be found. Stray bullets orbiting the Earth decided to loose their velocity and struck the pair and killed them. It’s ruled death by decaying orbit.
As long as they both received their 72 virgins upon expiration.
Sorry this is the best allaha has left.
He had just preached the Friday sermon - something he said?
Infidel lives matter, maaybe?
What has been seen cannot be unseen. Eye bleach, stat!
I believe this is a case of workplace violence.

This is a good start.
Bacon!!!!!!
The sooner the better.
I know I’M all broken up about it! /S
There is nothing more hypocritical than a Mulsim screaming “hate crime”! It’s their leaders, perhaps even these two, who are pushing hatred and violence worldwide against all non-believers, especially Christians. I’ve always held all human life dear, but when I see photos and videos of these pigs gleefully sawing off the heads of innocent people, including little children, I can have no sympathy for them. And don’t tell me it’s only the RADICALS. The radicals are merely the ones who have reached the level of insanity to carry out the teachings of men like these.
Since the MSM has blamed Trump what kind of men these two moose limbs are has become irrelevant. In truth they could have been good men but now they are Osamma Bin Laden. Sorry, politics is war now and bad things happen in war.
Make this blow up on them. MUSLIMS GO HOME. I AM TRUMP!
Not if we turn it right back on them. Own it. Blow this up on them. If they want to turn this against us use it to our advantage. MUSLIMS GO HOME. I AM TRUMP!
I laughed out loud!

Trump on defensive?
Hasn’t happened yet during the past year, so I imagine it won’t happen this week either.
