| Thousands expected at funeral for 3 Muslims killed in US |
| 2015-02-13 |
| [DAWN] Thousands of people were expected to attend a prayer service for three Moslems bumped off in North Carolina, as police investigated whether religious hatred played any role in the shooting which authorities said was sparked by a dispute over parking spaces. The alleged shooter, Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, describes himself as a "gun toting" atheist. Neighbours say he always seemed angry and frequently confronted his neighbors, sometimes while wearing a handgun on his hip. His ex-wife said he was obsessed with the shooting-rampage movie "Falling Down," and showed "no compassion at all" for other people. The killings are fuelling outrage among people who blame anti-Moslem rhetoric for hate crimes. A Moslem advocacy organization pressed authorities to investigate possible religious bias. Many posted social media updates with the hashtags (hash)MoslemLivesMatter and (hash)CallItTerrorism. About 2,000 people attended a candlelight vigil for the victims in the heart of UNC's campus on Wednesday evening. "We understand the concerns about the possibility that this was hate-motivated, and we will exhaust every lead to determine if that is the case," Chapel Hill police Chief Chris Blue said in an email. |

| #11 Rambler, I tried to find the story about the Big Time Reporter, when asked about a similar story which was in the news, but the races were reversed, quipped that they do not cover local stories. The narrative declared they needed a dead muslim via white for their anti American Sniper and Crusades! Y'all story and found this, looked at the mug shot, and Zimmermaned. That is, on the surface this guy fit the casting, looked the part. Come to find out he is what many progs point to as an example. Athiesm is progressive evolution, athiesm negates Crusades! Y'all, gets his news from Huffpoo. All the stick has is guns and inhierant white male aggression, and looking at my The Progressives' Sorting flow chart, should have been negated by the Athiesm. *I'm not jabbing at you Athiests, in a way I get a kick out of what level hobgoblin the media can make, and religion most definately plays a roll in that. |

| #9 Well, if it no use to denounce "Christian Extremism", at least you can denounce guns. |

| #8 swksvoIFF, if it had been three Christians killed, nobody outside of the local area would have even heard of this. Maybe, if it had been three blacks killed by a white man. But if they had been whites killed, it never would have gone beyond the local news. |

| #6 The killings are fuelling outrage among people who blame anti-Moslem rhetoric for hate crimes. The leftist media sooo wants this to be a hate crime. The early coverage follows a simmilar shallow pattern. Reminiscent of how so many speculated that Rep. Giffords shooting had to be fueled by heated Tea Party rhetoric. |
