Chapel Hill murders inspire POTUS to fight Islamophobia
Three young lives were snuffed out in Chapel Hill by a nutcase on Tuesday, allegedly over the killer’s long running obsession with parking spaces, and because the victims were Muslim, Obama is all over the hate crime thing.
Funny how in 2009, neither the media nor President Obama reported the religion of the American servicemen and women murdered by Major Nidal Malik Hasan at Fort Hood.
Were they Christian, Mormon, Protestant? Didn’t matter. And even though Hasan shouted Allahu Akbar as he shot them dead and wounded many others, Obama could not bring himself to call Hasan a Muslim jihadist.
Mr. Obama considered the Ft. Hood shooting a random act of workplace violence and the Boston Marathon bombers were a couple of lone wolves driven to extremism. A hatchet attack by a radical Muslim on two NYPD officers was another lone wolf. When a Muslim terrorist went into a Jewish market in Paris and executed 4 Jews, Obama said the victims were “a bunch of folks” shot randomly.
He called the massacre by an Islamic terrorist at Ft. Hood a “horrible incident.” He referred to the victims as the “wounded and the fallen.” The next day after his meeting with FBI Director Mueller he promised to investigate “what caused one individual to turn his gun on his fellow servicemen and women, and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.” Just another lone “individual.”
But what a difference it makes to our commander-in-chief when Muslims are killed.
Obama not only jumped to conclusions in his post-Chapel Hill statement, he got more personal, listing the full names of all three victims, even quoting one of them. This was no “horrible incident” without religious motivation, like Ft. Hood, these were “brutal and outrageous murders.”
From whitehouse.gov:
Yesterday, the FBI opened an inquiry into the brutal and outrageous murders of Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, Deah Shaddy Barakat, and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In addition to the ongoing investigation by local authorities, the FBI is taking steps to determine whether federal laws were violated.
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.
Except “teabaggers,” Christians, and old white males.
In his June, 2009 Cairo speech Obama made it clear whose side he is on.
…that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.
In Obama’s America when 3 Muslims are killed, it’s a hate crime because we went to see American Sniper. When an 8-year-old boy is blown to bits by jihadists in Boston or military personnel are shot to death by a Islamic terrorist yelling ‘Allahu Akbar,’ well, don’t you know, it’s our own damn fault.
