Two days after an imam and his assistant were gunned down after afternoon prayers in Queens, the police said late Monday that a man they had in custody had been charged in the killings.

Look! A “white muslim”! Getting in ahead of the predictable spin

[angcat]

He looks Muzzie/Hispanic.

[BenLurkin]

Somehow I doubt if that guy was inspired by Trump to do anything.

[Buckeye McFrog]

...and 29 paragraphs in some patsy goes on record blaming DONALD TRUMP for inspiring hatred.

The NYT is SOOOOOOOOOO predictable.

On Monday, many mourners expressed concern about an increasing anti-Muslim climate in New York. “I don’t feel safe anymore,” Mr. Hossain said. “All of this hatred being propagated, especially by Donald Trump, it puts us at risk. People sometimes pass me on the street and call me Bin Laden. I just try to keep my head down and keep walking.”

Because,of course, this was done at the behest of Donald Trump.

Oscar Morel. Hispanic I reckon.

I see the picture, but did the media say he is obviously a WASP? S/

[jobim]

Well there it is. A corn-fed, apple pie, middle of America
good old tea party guy in a Chevy pick-up. Islamophobia.

[Malone LaVeigh]

Trump supporter, Tea Party and NRA member, registered republican. Did I leave anything out?

[ArtDodger]

How long can the authorities and the press keep us from learning that he has another name, something beginning with Mohammed?

Yeah, he's a dead ringer for Wally Cleaver.

[DAC21]

I bet that apology to Trump for egging on some white cracker to kill the Iamn will be coming anytime now.

[Religion and Politics]

Obviously a case of a mentally deranged lone wolf. You have to love the conclusion at the bottom of the article though. It tells you all one needs to know about the media.

[CincyRichieRich]

He’s a martyr or he wanted to be the Imam, no other reason.

If martyr, then it is a real-life-acted-out taqiyya script.

[Oratam]

I’m sure The New School (For Social Research) is happy for the publicity. For those who are unfamiliar, The New School is Occupy Wall Street with a curriculum.

Unless this takes some juicy and totally unexpected turn.
Like the Imam was sleeping with his girlfriend. Or was in arrears paying off a year’s worth of bad bets on Giants games.

[doosee]

Obviously workplace violence. Nothing to see here.

white, evangelical Christian, male.
