Obama on Chapel Hill murders: “No one in the USA should ever be targeted because of…how they worship”

Feb 13, 2015 5:30 pm By Robert Spencer

obama11Obama has decided that the murder of three Muslims in Chapel Hill, North Carolina Tuesday was a hate crime. What is the evidence that it was a hate crime? Well, the victims were Muslims, and the murderer was non-Muslim. And the father of two of the victims says he expressed opinions that he never told to his wife or put on his Facebook page, and that his wife says he did not hold. And his Facebook page does reflect that he was an atheist who hated all religions, especially Christianity.

That’s it. That’s enough nowadays, plus the fact that Hamas-linked CAIR and its allies want this to be considered a hate crime, and the people in power want to give them what they want.

“Obama Condemns Murders Of Muslim Students,” Sky News, February 13, 2015 (thanks to Anne Crockett):

US President Barack Obama has condemned the “brutal and outrageous” murders of three Muslim students in North Carolina.

“No one in the United States of America should ever be targeted because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship,” he said in a statement, offering his condolences.

He added: “As we saw with the overwhelming presence at the funeral of these young Americans, we are all one American family.”

Shaddy Barakat, 23, his wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, were killed on Tuesday in the couple’s Chapel Hill apartment.

Police have said they suspect the catalyst for the alleged murders by neighbour Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, was a parking dispute, but family members claim it was a hate crime.

The FBI has opened an investigation into the killings to run parallel to that by the local police force.

North Carolina investigators said on Friday that Hicks had at least 12 guns and a large cache of ammunition.

Muslim groups planned to hold Friday prayers in front of the White House as part of their call for a federal hate-crime inquiry.

Mr Obama’s remarks on Friday follow criticism from Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about his US counterpart’s “telling” failure to speak out about the killings.

On Thursday, more than 5,000 people attended the funerals of the students in a ceremony that spilled over from a mosque to an athletic field at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.

The fathers of the three young Muslims, standing before their coffins, said the killings were motivated by religious hatred.

“This has hate crime written all over it,” said Dr Mohammad Yousif Abu-Salha, who lost his daughters.

“If they don’t listen carefully, I will yell.”…

      Indeed. When a moslem murders jews, don’t jump to conclusions, Obama says.

      And when a moslem murders his christian fellow soldiers at a military base, it is only “workplace violence”, no matter what the moslem raves about kiling the infidels and unbelievers of Islam — all complete lockstep in line with endless other Islamic Supremacist hate crimes around the globe in word and deed.

      But when three moslems are murdered by a psychopath leftist over a parking space, who clearly was not, in any way, shape, or form motivated to kill them because they were moslems, as ALL EVIDENCE SUPPORTS, Obama deems it a “hate crime” against moslems.

      Go figure Obama’s motivations, huh?

      He is involved in this because Islam is the “faith” most deeply lodged in his heart, and it has been since his childhood.

      Amazing that when Jews are murdered, anywhere, he refers to them as “random”, or brings up “equivalency”, usually with a deadpan, unemotional visage and a monotone voice. Who he is is quite apparent, but he will not openly own up while he still has the power of position to reshape America and bring about the “change” he promised. Funny that nobody questioned him as to the details of that “change”. My Mother used to say that “You’re known by the company you keep.” Well, are you looking?

    When I lived in London next to a family of savages, they used to park across our driveway on Friday afternoons, when I said it was causing us trouble, like being late to pick up kids from school, the savage instructed me that he was on a mission to go to mosque and my driveway was convenient for him to drive across while he ran in to get changed, his going to mosque was far more important than anything else could ever be, this happened every Friday till we started parking our own car across our driveway.
    Their supremacist behaviour is likely to upset some unbalanced infidels, it’s actually bound to happen, but it’s not a hate crime to when there are consequences.

    It’s disgusting, when you consider that Jews are still by far the most persecuted group in the world – which includes the US. Where is the condemnation when Jewish people are killed for their beliefs?

    Oh that’s right, there is none. The deaths of these innocent girls is an atrocity, but it pales in the light of all the acts committed against other minorities (usually by Muslims) around the world. There is no condemnation there.

    Barack Obama, you make me sick.

  9. Monique Choiselt says

    Feb 13, 2015 at 5:50 pm

    Obama’s a dick!

    Always remember, we are the infidel to muslims moderates and extremists alike.

    The American Congress for Truth a lobbyist group against islam interviewed muslims, living in the United States with an American Citizenship .They asked them if they would support America against a muslim country 80% said they would not support a war against a muslim country in defense of the United States. These are “moderates”. I no muslims in Canada is best. Doesn’t mean I am going to go around killing muslims. It just means I and the rest of us should let our preferences show. They have destroyed country after country by insinuating themselves into their society and destroying it from within. These are not the extremists doing that it is the moderates, the foot soldiers, setting us up for the extremists. If you think we are safe, you are wrong. Think Hitler, he didn’t get to be leader by himself, he was voted in by the German people, the moderates, who became the foot soldiers in his army.

    Did you know that the Winnipeg Public Library has a place marker for both books by Brigitte Gabriel but there are no books available and no requests? I have never seen that before, when there is no book there is no marker the search comes up blank, and when they purchase books they purchase several copies. I had them order a replacement and call me when it comes in. It is no coincidence, some “moderate” muslims have taken the books out and destroyed them. Paranoid, you’re damn right! It makes my skin crawl.

    There are now 2 copies of “They must be stopped” in the library today, but last week when I called they had 0 copies checked in with a note to check with the library. When I called I was told that the copies were checked out and never returned.

    There’s always a great deal of harmony when Muslims complain about ‘hate crimes’. There are so many examples of such crimes in Islam’s texts and history, it just comes across as rather hypocritical.

    Will they condemn Muslim hate crimes for the last 1400 years? No. Will they condemn the Muslim hate crimes that are taking place every day in most countries? No.

    Muslims think: ‘It isn’t a hate crime when WE do it.’

      President Obama has a way with words and sense of judicial process. Mr. Obama, Harvard educated Constitutional scholar, and as a sitting President so brilliant to publicly opine on motive of a defendant and inflame the passions of a sector that doesn’t need much to get whipped up into a frenzy. He must have skipped Law 101 or slept all 3 years of Law school. Possibly we he has an agenda to dovetail into the movement at the UN to limit Freedom of Speech when it comes to perceived defamation of Religion and Hate crimes especially towards Islam.

    Since when does the President make public pronouncements about an open case let alone not even fully investigated. Obama now has a track record of this when it concerns people of color or if the accused is white or a figure of authority. It is disgraceful that he is not President of ALL Americans on an equal basis and that he is a bigot. CAIR needs to be taken down 5 notches and publicly exposed. An advertising campaign might work but it could also backfire with BO interceding. This does not sound like a hate crime.

    Obama has decided that the murder of three Muslims in Chapel Hill, North Carolina Tuesday was a hate crime. What is the evidence that it was a hate crime? Well, the victims were Muslims, and the murderer was non-Muslim.

    Much like with the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown affairs, which sheik Hussein decided that it were racial-motivated crimes because the “victim” was black, and the “attackers” were not.

    Police have said they suspect the catalyst for the alleged murders by neighbour Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, was a parking dispute, but family members claim it was a hate crime.

    Question: is there any mention of “hate” that would indicate a hate crime (as opposed to hate because of a parking space dispute) prior to the incident or did this alleged “hate” mysteriously appeared after CAIR stepped in? Because I find it difficult to believe that someone who would murder muslims for being muslims being in favour of the Ground Zero mosque initiative.

    It would be kinda like having a KKK member supporting the Black Panthers before killing 3 black people because of the colour of their skin, or having a Christian supporting a pro-choice party before killing a doctor in an abortion clinic – something just doesn’t add up.

    • Angemon says

      Feb 13, 2015 at 6:37 pm

      Just to elaborate – I find very hard to believe that, in the current politically correct scenario where islamic “civil rights groups” are desperate to find cases of “islamophobia”, there were muslims being threatened because of their religion and none of those groups said anything about it. Like I said, something doesn’t add up.

    Feb 13, 2015 at 6:42 pm

    So, it doesn’t matter how someone worships? As long as it’s called “religion,” people should be allowed to do it? Sexist and misogynistic acts like beating one’s wife or forcing her to cover up? Marrying children, killing infidels, taking slaves – all these should be allowed, and no one should be targeted because it’s “how someone worships?”

    Why prosecute any crimes, then, since there are “religious” excuses for just about all of them, including child rape and cannibalism?

    Why do we have a system of courts in the U.S. when the President can decide everything for us? So now it’s official; the shooting was a hate crime without even having to go to trial. No mention of the possibility of mental illness in this particular case. Will the emir of America also tell us what the sentence should be: decapitation or a bullet to the head? In my opinion Obama is the WORST President the U.S. has ever had to endure.

    WoW !!

    It’s Called Postal

    A Muslim convert beheads a woman and nearly another – that’s call ‘workplace violence’ – not an Islamic terrorist attack – but here is a guy who defended Obama after he was called a Muslim – defended the 911 Mosque – has committed murder – that is now labeled as a ‘hate crime’ – not in retaliation against possibly inconsiderate neighbors – and the everyday frictions around neighborhood issues.

    Interesting the Turkish leader wanted Obama to speak as if it was a ‘hate crime’ and Obama was done so without evidence.

    The Jizya Solution

    Demonstrates somewhat the gullible nature around this hope placed on Islam [not on people – then we would have to talk about rights and freedoms – icky stuff like that] – because after the slaying of several Catholic clergy in Turkey – the Turkish authorities suggested in a Der Spiegel article that one of the ways to end frictions from Turk Muslims towards – Christians in that country – was to introduce the jizya tax [a special tax] – that was levied on Christians during the Ottoman period when they claimed Muslims and Christians got along ‘peaceably’ – of course – Der Spiegel thought it was a wunderbar idea – and hailed it as a solution from within Islam – for the scourge of Christian persecution across the region.

    Don Islamism

    They might be happy to know that IS got there first – all non-Muslims must pay the ‘special Islamic tax’ ~ or else ~ they lose their ‘protection’!! The Turks must be relieved – the Christians in the region will finally get the ‘protection’ – they believe they deserve!!

    ::

    It is important for Muslim leaders to view as many incidence a ‘hate crime’ – because they wish to use it as leverage to implement sharia law in the US. And this is something – specified on CAIR’s websites – that it is a Muslim right – no doubt with the aim to one day bring the US/ world under the Sharia code of ethics.

    ::

    Hate v Anger

    The guy did not kill out of hate – he killed out of anger !!

    With respect the man has lost two daughters – but it is not a hate crime.

I know many lawyers, as well being one myself, including relatives of mine, and one after another has told me that THE worst lawyers are Ivy League lawyers.

      Wellington, perish the thought that I would contradict you. No.

      BUT, I am from the school of Stephen Pinker and Matt Ridley and also Peter Diamandis. And we believe in progress for humanity, albeit haphazard, granted.

      So I like to put your observation in historic context, in my own imperfect, “experimental” way.

      Education is by no means perfect and riddled with problems, but on aggregate good, and improving mankind’s lot. IMO.

      We could focus on faults and shortcomings, but there are benefits as well, and focusing on the aggregate is better than focus on faults only, IMO.

      Meaning; yes, there still are misusers, immoral, stupid people, and yes, there are problems, and yes, we should address them, but thank God, we have high education and freedom of speech in the West!

      • Wellington says

        Feb 14, 2015 at 1:02 pm

        Oh, I’m all for higher education, Demsci, but give me a state university graduate (e.g., Michigan State, University of Alabama, Kansas State Univeristy, etc.) over an Ivy League graduate any day of the week. Talk about overrated. The Ivies are just that. For a laugh, Google “Harvard students don’t know the capital of Canada.”

        Hope you’re doing well, Demsci. BTW, we still have free speech in America but Obama would change that if he could and higher education here in America is increasingly deserving of the term “lower education” what with all the political correctness and multicultural rot that now exists at one college and university after another.

    Feb 13, 2015 at 7:26 pm

    Just today, this website has reports on many killings of non-Muslims by Muslims, but I don’t recall that Erdy, the Ottoman Vampire, ever jumps in with expressions of concern in such cases.
    The fact is, there are about seven million severely mentally ill people in the US; about 1% can be considered violent. Very few are in institutions; the US has about the same number of incarcerated mentally ill as in the mid-nineteenth century. That means that about 70,000 people are out there, and some are gun owners. That’s why we hear about one of these multiple murders every few days, and are treated to all those instant analyses by various “experts” when one of the killings has some pertinent sociological aspect that can be exploited for political advantage.

      Jewdog, You make a valid point and I might ad that the mental heath professionals have a large percentage of people who use chemistry as a shortcut. Prozac, Effexor, Paxil, yada yada…to treat the symptoms of frustration the patient experiences from a life long effort of trying to force a square peg in a round hole. Side effects alone are horrifying and drug interactions can be caused by something as innocent as dairy products. What could wrong?

    And the White House replies, “Yes, sir. How high?”

    Obama on Chapel Hill murders: “No one in the USA should ever be targeted because of…how they worship”
    ………………………………

    Does it matter that these murders almost certainly had nothing to do with this? Of course not.

    Hicks had written previously that he preferred Muslims to Christians and he supported the Ground Zero Mosque.

    But that doesn’t fir the narrative of “Islamophobia”…

    Yes, muslims killed must be out of hate, whereas christians or non-believers that are killed must be out of love (for Mo and Al). This is the new world we live in and our leaders say amen.

      Feb 14, 2015 at 12:05 am

      I believe that he specifically states “no one in the US” for a few reasons which altogether make that phrasing the most appropriate choice…..
      1. It highlights our freedoms, in & of themselves – a main tenent of our gov & societys foundation is that here we are free to believe anything & look anyway, even say what we please, w/o fear of persecution & violent/oppressive reprisals etc. (& in noting this it also slightly passively asserts superiority over nations & govs that aren’t)…
      2. Under the circumstances, the reality of everything that transpires between us & foreign nation’s – their govs & people, & our gov & military & private interests – the various situations around the world frm South America to ME to East Asia to the South of Africa, our actions, the repurcussions & sacrifice, etc.. He knows he ain’t in no place to claim deffense for human rights like that across the board – not when 1/3 of the time the turmoil, oppression, & even slaughter of these mass civilian populations hasa great deal to do w/ our meddling; but thats cool cause its OUR best interest which is all that matters, & we got what we needed that way. (Pretty sure ANY President of ours that starts claiming ALL people have those rights in such a way, would have b#llsh$t called on him SO fast, & it would really be like insult to injury for us to say.. Ya know? – Such is the reality of exceptionalism.)

    Initially I believed this. I still think it most likely but I don’t know for sure because it’s been made political so a lot of papers are backing their President.

    Was Hicks influenced by events overseas? Very possible. Despite what he wrote people’s feelings can change. He had a dispute with these people. The media has been front paging burnings and beheadings. Hicks saw all 3 as ‘the enemy’.

    I still think it was a hate crime or that religion played some part in his mind but we may never really know. Whether that hate was on account of their Faith I think that would definitely have played some part but he was also furious about the parking so it wasn’t that he got a gun and went out Muslim hunting so to speak.

    I still think he wouldn’t have gone to such extremes had they not been Muslims if he is mentally sound.

      What makes you say that? How “very possible” would that be? How is it that someone who stated to prefer musims over christians, supported the islamic supremacist project known as the Ground Zero mosque and believed the myth of the “religion of peace hijacked by extremists” hook, line and sinker would change his mind because of what some “extremists” did thousands of miles away? It simply doesn’t add up.

      “Despite what he wrote people’s feelings can change. He had a dispute with these people. The media has been front paging burnings and beheadings. Hicks saw all 3 as ‘the enemy’.”

      That’s quote a leap in logic, straight to the void. While it’s true that people’s feelings can change and that he had a dispute over a parking space, his feelings over the “religion” of islam is unrelated to his dispute over the parking space. Trying to mix the two subjects together is sheer dishonesty – either he killed them because of a feud over a parking space or because he was an “islamophobe” and saw them as enemies. It’s one of the two, not both of them, and evidence so far points to the former rather than the later.

      “I still think it was a hate crime or that religion played some part in his mind but we may never really know.”

      Huh, of course we’ll know. He’ll be interrogated and he’ll cough up the reason.

      “Whether that hate was on account of their Faith I think that would definitely have played some part”

      Huh, what? Like I said, evidence so far points to a feud over a parking space. Religion played no part in it.

      “but he was also furious about the parking so it wasn’t that he got a gun and went out Muslim hunting so to speak.”

      Like I said, it’s one of the two, not both.

      “I still think he wouldn’t have gone to such extremes had they not been Muslims if he is mentally sound.”

      But you just told us otherwise: “he was also furious about the parking so it wasn’t that he got a gun and went out Muslim hunting“.

      And how is that contrived logic supposed to work? “he wouldn’t have gone to such extremes had they not been Muslims if he is mentally sound”? So it’s either that he’s mentally sound and because of that he killed for being muslims or that he killed them because he’s crazy? That’s a false dichotomy, and a self-defeating one. A phobia is a mental illness, so if he killed them for being muslims (and there’s no evidence to back that hypothesis) then he suffers from “islamophobia” and therefore he’s not sound of mind.

    So…..

    Obama would’nt have a problem with Robert Ley’s worship:

    “We believe in a God in heaven , who created us , who guides us and you ,mein Fuhrer, who sent us to liberate Germany.”

    Obama wouldn’t have a problem if I were a New Guinea head hunter practising my faith.

    Obama wouldn’t have a problem if I were an Aztec readying myself to ritually sacrifice a person.

    Obama wouldn’t have a problem if I worshipped a man, Mohammed, who was a mass murderer of Jews and who encouraged rape, a man who tortured an old man with fire and killed a woman poet.

    As long as I am free to worship that is the most important thing!

    It is amazing how the US had allowed a traitor for president, someone standing against all what the US belief in. Obama is the greatest scam the US has suffered in modern history, a muslim who claimed to be a christian hence voted into the WH and trying to, gradually, destroy the US.

    ”Mr Obama’s remarks on Friday follow criticism from Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about his US counterpart’s “telling” failure to speak out about the killings.”

    Now, why would Erdogan be chuntering about the purely *domestic* crime of an American shooting three other ‘americans’ over a parking space ? What does it have to do with him ?

    And why does he, *and* obama, exhibit a ”telling failure” to speak out about the murders of Christians, by mohammedans, throughout the Middle East ?

    Well, it’s a complete and total mystery.

    I wish the police would release more details about the parking dispute. My bet is that the three people who were shot treated Craig Hicks with disrespect. His response was totally unwarranted but whether those murdered were atheists, Jews, Christians or Muslims has no bearing on the case. Mr. Hicks struck out at people who disregarded his right to the parking stall in question. Those killed simply chose the wrong man to taunt with arrogance.

    On Friday night Megyn Kelly referred to the victims as ‘three wonderful, peace-loving Muslims.” Obviously they are not an excuse for the executions, as Obama and CAIR claim and would like to believe, but at least take a look at the male victim’s antiSemitic, anti-Israel FB postings before making this claim about him. The research wasn’t done, or this part of the story was deliberately left out. I wonder which..

  48. Geppetto says

    How long will it take for the useful idiots in the west to realize they’re being played for fools? Obama has to mumble and stutter to avoid any mention of a religious motive for what he called a random event at a local restaurant in France. No mention of Islam or Muslims or that the local restaurant was Kosher and the victims who were killed were very likely Jews, as a matter of intent and not a “random” act. None of that came out of his mouth but here, when some kook whose motives are yet to be established is accused of hate crimes because the victims were Muslims, why this is most definitely prejudged to be a hate crime against innocent Muslims. These predetermined, preordained judgments of crminal events by Obama are reprehensible but not unexpected.

    No sane, reasonable, observant person denies that these three Muslims may have been innocent, law abiding, American citizens but neither can any such person deny what is obviously brutal, horrific violence on a global scale by a religious group that uses accusations of “Islamophobia,” hate crimes and religious persecution to prevent the dhimmi west from stating the obvious. Does any sane, reasonable, thoughtful person believe that the Islamic State has absolutely nothing to do with Islam?

    If America and the dhimmi west are to survive these denials of the obvious the latter must be openly challenged and exposed for the illogical idiocy they represent. The evidence and scope of this undeclared war is increasing daily. The west should look upon increasing clamor and vitriolic accusations of hate crimes and Islamophobia emanating from what are the well established Muslim Brotherhood front organizations and individual infiltrators, everywhere, as a sign of progress in this global, religious war the west denies exists while they stubbornly and foolishly remain in full retreat.

    Doesn’t the American people, the media, and heck any one with even an ounce of grey matter, not see the irony in Obama’s statement? I mean when Muslims kill kaffirs, specifically for religious reasons, punctuating every single attack with ” Allah-hu- Akbar”, Obama rushes to defend Islam by either calling the attack a “workplace violence”, or his infamous knee jerk statement, “…. this had nothing to do with Islam..”.
    Never once did he truthfully chastise Muslims for the heinous crimes carried out in the name of their religion.

    Yet when Muslims are the victims, even though clearly NOT because of their religion, (as we see in this instance) Obama feels compelled to use this occasion to highlight the faux victimization of his favorite group of people.

    Like Robert correctly points out, Obama is at least consistent on one of his campaign promises, which was to “defend Muslims against negative stereotypes”. I say even if he has to invent those “negative stereotypes” so that he can defend them.

    I can’t wait for the day when this traitor is evicted from the oval, however I am wary of the way the American people as a whole use their ability to choose their leaders.

They have more than enough proof to impeach and then arrest this person for gross treason.
