[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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Curious picture of the perps. There are five, not six, unless the cop on the end is one of them. The chain's not actually around their necks, just draped over their shoulders. And the guy in the middle (wearing the hoodie) still has his AK hanging around his neck.

[Hurriyet Daily News] Although Cuban officials have already agreed with Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... for the construction of a mosque in Havana, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... has told Cuban President Compañero Raul Castro ...Fidel's little brother... that Ankara would like to conduct its own project similar to Istanbul's iconic Ortaköy mosque in another Cuban province.
Are there many Muslims in Communist, and therefore officially atheist, Cuba, that there is need for two substantial mosques? Or is this a first step in claiming the island for the Umma?
Speaking to news hounds after meeting with Castro in Havana on Feb. 11, Erdogan said Cuban officials had already made an agreement with Saudi Arabia for the construction of a mosque in Havana.
"We want to build the mosque ourselves. We don't want a partner. If you find it appropriate, we would like to build it in Havana. But if you have promised a Havana mosque to other people, then we can build our Ortaköy Mosque in another Cuban province," Erdogan quoted himself as saying to Castro.
Mustafa Tutkun, the vice general manager of Turkey's Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet), announced in November 2014 that Ankara had been negotiating with Cuban officials to build a mosque on two hectares of land in Havana's historic center. The Diyanet had proposed the construction of a mosque similar to the picturesque Ortaköy Mosque in Istanbul, which was built by Ottoman Armenian architects Garabet and Nigogayos Balyan in 1856.

For some reason IMO that Castro is not going to introduce a supremacist, totalitarian religion into his cozy little totalitarian island paradise. He doesn't want such a group undermining his government.
Combatants in the eastern Ukraine war ignored an impending cease-fire and escalated the fighting on Friday, as Russian-backed rebels sought to capture an important railway hub before the truce agreement takes effect.
Artillery shelling and gunfire reverberated in the area around the railway hub, Debaltseve, just south of this front-line town of Artemivsk, with reports that at least 18 people had been killed.
In a hospital courtyard here, ambulance crews hurriedly wheeled about bloodied, freshly wounded soldiers.
Medical helicopters buzzed in and out through the day. At a school, teachers herded children indoors when the booms of artillery started rattling windows.
The escalation erupted a day after the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany negotiated a new cease-fire agreement, the second in the nearly year-old war. The new pact left many issues unresolved, and many diplomats consider it fragile.

The government's IMU property tax is putting at risk agricultural production in the rich Chianti countryside of Tuscany, two local mayors complained Tuesday.
"The IMU agricultural (tax) strikes at the soul of Chianti," say Giacomo Trentanovi and David Baroncelli, representing Barberino Val d'Elsa and Tavarnelle Val di Pesa.
They accused the national government of "harassing" property owners with the tax that they say could drive many out of business when it should instead being "giving a hand" during the ongoing economic crisis. Tranzi bastards---is there nothing decent (Chianti is better than decent wine, IMO) they won't try to destroy?

Rent seeking writ large. Drive out the small guys to the benefit of the big guy.
This is the MO of all Fascist, Socialist, Communist, Crony Capitalist (corporatist) and hybrid movements in the world. The more regulation the more centralized government control.

They'll plant massive sticks & stucco housing tracts when the farmers go belly up. Won't taste as good as the wine but the houses will pay more in taxes. Seen it happen in Kaliphornia. Although the vineyards here are still profitable you don't see many orange or avacado groves anymore.
[Feral Jundi] This is cool. Apparently in this summerâs blockbuster film called Jurassic World, there is a PMSC that they have promoted in trailers as the ones tasked with protecting the park. Below I have posted the main trailer for the film, which shows that the Jurassic park has been built and dinosaurs have been created through genetic engineering. In the second clip below, it shows the PMSC named InGen Security which is a business unit of Masarani Global. The Vic Hoskins character seems to be the CEO of InGen Security, played by the actor Vincent DâOnofrio. Hollywood once again takes on Private Military Security Contractors (PMSC).
