There actually is no telling what these killings are at this point. They could be anti-Muslim hate crimes, in which case it would be perfectly right and justified to say things on the order of “These hateful attacks have no place in America.” They could, however, be any number of other things. Until the killer is identified, it’s irresponsible of Biden and Harris to encourage victimhood resentment and posturing in this way. They are, of course, simply trying to ensure the continued support of one of their core constituencies.
“Killings sow fear and panic in Albuquerque’s Muslim community,” by Joanna Slater, Brittany Shammas and Bryan Pietsch, Washington Post, August 8, 2022:
The main mosque in Albuquerque has urged its members to avoid walking alone at night and make sure no one is following them home. Some Muslims in the city are closing their businesses early. Others say they won’t go out after dark.
In the past two weeks, three Muslim men have been shot and killed in Albuquerque in what authorities think were targeted attacks. The police have appealed to the public for help finding a vehicle linked to the crimes but have made no arrests, leaving the Muslim community feeling panicked and helpless.
Authorities suspect the three recent killings may be connected to an earlier unsolved homicide in November 2021. The victims in all four incidents were men of South Asian descent.
The police have not determined a motive for the killings. At least three of the shootings followed a pattern in which the victims were ambushed and killed, said Gilbert Gallegos, a spokesman for the Albuquerque police….

they are making a big deal of it being “mozlums’ who have been killed….but who knows that it wasn’t just random killings and the victims happened to be mozlums?
How many news reports of the murders of infidel people have their religion listed? sometimes Jews do, but if someone is killed at their place of business, it isn’t always known what religion…if any…the victim was
I’m inclined toward believing that it could be a mozlum doing the killings. It is not unheard of in the world for mozlums to be killed by their family members and rivals in other sects. and it could be a scam…in order to bring in more **laws** to target infidels who might say that islam is a snare and a racket and pure evil.

Chairman Joe may be lying through the use of statistics.
Question: Does the number of muslim murders exceed their fair share of murders?
(% of Muslim being murdered compared to % of all persons being murdered)

Once again Joe Biden takes upon himself the role of both judge and jury. It’s only one more small step for him to become executioner also. Biden belongs behind bars to the end of his days. In a just world he and a large part of both his administration and his family already would be. I hope that someday they will be.

Obama did a lot of this, too. Remember “police have acted stupidly”?
CogitoErgoSum says
I would love to see Obama and the Clintons brought down too along with Pelosi, Schumer, Sanders, AOC and her mob and that smarmy little Alfred E. Newman lookalike, Pete Buttigieg, and that hateful lying witch, Elizabeth Warren. They all need to be locked up and the key thrown away. The list is a long one but the pleasure in seeing them fall would be that much greater.

The Department of Justice as we know is now weaponized. Four indictments came out for civil rights violations of Breonna Taylor of Louisville, shot inadvertently by narcotics officers during warrant service. Taylor was shot by the police as she crossed a room while police were returning gunfire that Taylor’s boyfriend initiated. They knew there was a police raid going on and Taylor was a known drug carrier and provider according to Louisville PD. Just another shameful act and waste of resources.
Phil Copson says
That is a very partial re-writing of events: What do you mean by “shot inadvertantly”?
Police fired a hail of bullets into her apartment, fully intending to kill whoever was in there, and not caring whether the bullets hit the occupants of that apartment or a neighbouring apartment.
“They knew there was a police raid going on.”: That is a very large claim to make. Witnesses gave different accounts regarding whether police announced themselves before breaking the door down. Two points: firstly, if this was an authorised “No knock raid” – why would they announce themselves? secondly, given that the officers involved in the raid officers either failed to turn their body-cams on or weren’t wearing them (accounts differ) they evidently intended that there should be no record of events, and that only their version would be available. In either event, body-cams were available – (officers who arrived later were wearing them) – so the absence of camera footage was deliberate. There is therefore no reason to place much reliance on their evidence.
You omit the important points that Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was NOT involved in drug-dealing, and that he possessed the weapon legally to protect them against her previous boyfriend – a violent drug-dealer.
Walker fired when their front door was broken down, in the belief that they were being attacked by the ex-boyfriend. His call to the emergency services said that “Somebody shot my girlfriend.” NOT “The police shot my girlfriend.”
His actions were reasonable – the actions of the officers weren’t. The whole idea of carrying out an armed raid in the early hours of the morning on the ex-girlfriend of a drug-dealer, seems more like a vigilante attack than a police operation.
The fact that the officers made no attempt to save her life, but left her to die, backs this up.
(Derek Chauvin, on the other hand, quite plainly did not murder George Floyd, and his sentence is political theatre.)

Never forget – the vast majority of hate-crimes against muslims are by muslims themselves.

So true, overman.

Biden, Harris rush to judgment, assume killings of Muslims in New Mexico are hate crimes
………………………………….
Yes, this is absurd, until the perp(s) are caught and we know who they are and what their motives are. My guess is that if the perps are not obvious “Islamophobes” that this story will become largely just regional again.

We tracked down the vehicle believed to be involved in a recent murder of a Muslim man in Albuquerque. The driver was detained and he is our primary suspect for the murders. We will update the media later this afternoon.

Police in New Mexico have apparently just detained a primary suspect–tracked down from camera images of their car at the scene. No further information available yet.
gravenimage says
New Mexico police just named the suspected perp: Muhammed Syed.
That says it all…
“51-year-old man charged with murdering 2 Muslim men in Albuquerque; additional charges possible, police say”

overman says
Thanks for the update GI. l had a strong hunch this might be to do with sunni and shiite muslims.
No doubt this will be hushed up very quickly.
“Muhammad Syed, 51, also faces possible charges for the murders of two other Muslim men who were killed in Albuquerque in the last nine months. Ahmad Assed, president of the city’s largest mosque, told The New York Times that authorities informed him the shooter is a Sunni Muslim who may have targeted the victims because he was angry over his daughter marrying a Shiite Muslim, but authorities declined to confirm those details at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.”
Infidel says
Okay, so the sunni-shi’a war is now being fought in New Mexico? Alhamdulillah, or praise be to allah
somehistory says
Yes, last night, there was the headline “Alburquerque welcomes” mozlums and now killings targeting mozlums….blaming the people of that city for the murders, when they brought the strife along with them.
And there was that other sunni-shia fighting at the university in Connecticut, I think if was some months ago.
gravenimage says
Infidel, even if we were OK with this savagery in our own lands, a lot of innocent people are apt to get caught in the crossfire. Albuquerque is *not* a Muslim city.

Thanks, overman–I thought it might be something like that. No “Islamophobes” involved…
